AEW Wrestlers Set to Compete for CMLL Championships in Mexico

CMLL has announced that several wrestlers from AEW will compete for prestigious titles during upcoming events in Mexico. This exciting development was revealed on the CMLL Informa show aired on Wednesday. Among the challengers, AEW’s The Beast Mortos will face Gran Guerrero for the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship at Arena Mexico on November 23, 2024.

The return of Mortos to Arena Mexico is particularly noteworthy, as he had not wrestled at the venue for nearly 14 years. His absence stemmed from a previous ban following his move from CMLL to AAA. Fans are eagerly anticipating this match, which marks a significant chapter in Mortos’ career.

In addition to Mortos’ championship bout, AEW’s Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia of The Death Riders will also challenge for the CMLL World Tag Team Championship. The current champions, Angel de Oro and Niebla Roja, will defend their titles against the AEW duo. While the date for this contest is yet to be confirmed, it adds another layer of excitement to the collaboration between the two wrestling promotions.

The crossover was further highlighted during the recent AEW Dynamite and Collision three-hour block, where a match featuring Mascara Dorada and Kazuchika Okada took place. This bout, described as a Double Jeopardy match, set the stage for a new CMLL title match scheduled for the AEW Full Gear Saturday Tailgate Brawl show.

CMLL’s integration of AEW talent showcases the growing relationship between the two organizations, which is likely to enhance the competitive landscape of professional wrestling. Fans can expect thrilling matches and high-stakes drama as these wrestlers vie for championship glory.

The full episode of CMLL Informa is available for viewing, providing fans with more insights into the upcoming events and matchups. This collaboration not only highlights the talent pool from both promotions but also signifies an exciting time for wrestling enthusiasts in Mexico and beyond.
