 In 1985 , the Mexican lucha libre , or professional wrestling , promotion Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre ( " Mexican Wrestling Enterprise " ; EMLL ) was given control of the newly created Mexican National Trios Championship . Over the next six years , that title became the focal point of the very popular trios division , serving as the highest honor EMLL could bestow on a trio . In 1991 , EMLL changed their name to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre ( " World Wrestling Council " ) and began to establish a series of CMLL branded world championships , relegating the Mexican National championships to a secondary rank . In 1991 , CMLL decided to create a CMLL @-@ branded world championship for the trios division . They held a 16 @-@ team tournament to crown the first champions , a tournament that saw " Los Infernales " ( " The Infernal Ones " ; MS @-@ 1 , Pirata Morgan and El Satánico ) defeat " Los Brazos " ( " The Arms " ; El Brazo , Brazo de Oro and Brazo de Plata ) to become the first Trios Champions . Over the next couple of years , the championship would be held by such teams as " Los Intocables " ( Jaque Mate , Masakre and Pierroth Jr . ) and " La Ola Blanca " ( " The White Wave " ; Gran Markus Jr . , El Hijo del Gladiador and Dr. Wagner Jr . ) . In 1993 , the then @-@ reigning Mexican National Trios Champions left CMLL and the Mexico City Boxing and wrestling commission allowed the champions to take the Mexican National Trios Championship with them . From 1993 through 2001 , when the Mexican National Trios Championship returned to CMLL , the CMLL World Trios Championship was the only championship for the division .
