Konnan was the first AAA Americas Heavyweight champion, a title he won by defeating the Killer at the end of a tournament. The title was originally intended to be the top heavyweight title in AAA but when Konnan left the promotion in 1996 to work exclusively for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and took the championship belt with him the title was quietly ignored by AAA.
Konnan held the distinction of being the first AAA Americas Heavyweight champion, claiming the title after emerging victorious over the Killer at the end of a tournament. However, when Konnan left AAA in 1996 to join WCW, he took the championship with him, and as a result, the title was largely forgotten by the promotion.
