The CMLL World Middleweight Championship is a professional wrestling world championship of the Mexican wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre. While lighter weight classes are regularly ignored in wrestling promotions in the United States, more emphasis is placed on the lighter classes in Mexico. The middleweight division range in Mexico is between 82 kg and 87 kg, but the weight limits are not strictly adhered to. As it is a professional wrestling championship, it is not won by actual competition, but by a scripted ending to a match or storyline. Dragón Rojo Jr., the longest reigning CMLL champion, was defeated on March 25, 2017, by Ángel de Oro, the current champion. Since its creation in 1991, the championship has been held by 12 wrestlers for a total of 17 individual reigns. El Dandy is the only three-time champion; he also has the shortest reign of any champion (his first reign) at 63 days.
