Willow Nightingale is back on top. The CMLL Women’s World Championship was vacated after Stephanie Vaquer went to WWE.
Therefore, the promotion had Willow Nightingale win the championship at NJPW-CMLL FantasticaMania on July 13, defeating Lluvia and Viva Van. She spoke about the win after the match.
“The last time I wrestled in CMLL was actually also my first week in CMLL, but do you want to know what happened when I showed up? I freaking won. I beat the current CMLL Champion at that point, Stephanie Vaquer. Stephanie’s not here; the championship’s vacant. Who’s going to step up? No one else but Willow Nightingale, duh!
“My spirit was actually a little broken coming in here,” she continued. “AEW, my friend turned on me. I just lost my last match. I really needed a win, and today, I didn’t just get a win. I walked out an international champion.”
