The '''WWA World Trios Championship''' (''Campeonato Mundial de Trios WWA'' in [[Spanish language|Spanish]]) is a six-man (or ''trios'') [[Tag Team]] [[Championship (professional wrestling)|Championship]] in the [[Mexico|Mexican]] [[lucha libre]] ([[Professional wrestling]]) [[professional wrestling promotion|promotion]] [[World Wrestling Association]] (WWA) in Mexico. It was first won by [[Zandokan]], [[Khaos I]] and [[Sicodelico]] around 1989 and was defended throughout [[Mexico]] until it was abandoned in 1998.

As it was a professional wrestling championship, the championship was not won not by actual competition, but by a [[kayfabe|scripted ending]] to a match determined by the [[Booker (professional wrestling)|bookers and match makers]].{{efn|name=Hornbaker|''Hornbaker'' (2016) p. 550: "Professional wrestling is a sport in which match finishes are predetermined. Thus, win–loss records are not indicative of a wrestler's genuine success based on their legitimate abilities – but on now much, or how little they were pushed by promoters"{{sfn|Hornbaker|2016|p=550}}}} On occasion the promotion declares a championship vacant, which means there is no champion at that point in time. This can either be due to a storyline,{{efn|''Duncan & Will'' (2000) p. 271, Chapter: Texas: NWA American Tag Team Title [World Class, Adkisson] "Championship held up and rematch ordered because of the interference of manager Gary Hart"{{sfn|Duncan|Will|2000|p=271}}}} or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship,{{efn|''Duncan & Will'' (2000) p. 20, Chapter: (United States: 19th Century & widely defended titles – NWA, WWF, AWA, IW, ECW, NWA) NWA/WCW TV Title "Rhodes stripped on 85/10/19 for not defending the belt after having his leg broken by Ric Flair and Ole & Arn Anderson"{{sfn|Duncan|Will|2000|p=20}}}} or leaving the company.{{efn|''Duncan & Will'' (2000) p. 201, Chapter: (Memphis, Nashville) Memphis: USWA Tag Team Title "Vacant on 93/01/18 when Spike leaves the USWA."{{sfn|Duncan|Will|2000|p=201}}}}
