MLW World Middleweight Championship Triple Threat: Místico vs. Titán vs. Averno
In the main event, Místico, the reigning MLW World Middleweight Champion and lucha libre icon, puts his title on the line against two fierce adversaries: Titán and Averno. Averno, known as one of the most cunning and celebrated rudos in lucha libre, brings his storied rivalry with Místico into this match, reigniting a feud. His ruthless, no-holds-barred approach is poised to test Místico’s resilience and legendary agility. Then there’s Titán. A standout member of the renowned Los Ingobernables de Japón, enters as one of the best middleweights in the world. Can Místico overcome two challengers in the same match?
Trios Showdown: Atlantis, Atlantis Jr. & Star Jr. vs. Bárbaro Cavernario, Magnus & Felino
This trios match is a generational war that pits legendary family lineage against fierce rivals. Atlantis, a revered icon in lucha libre, teams with his son Atlantis Jr. and the up and coming Star Jr. to defend their family’s legacy. Their opponents, the savage Bárbaro Cavernario, Magnus, and the wily Felino, are determined to topple this celebrated dynasty. Expect this battle to overflow with passion, pride, and jaw-dropping lucha action that spans generations.
Falls Count Anywhere for the MLW National Openweight Championship: Bad Dude Tito Escondido vs. Matthew Justice
The rivalry between Tito and Justice has been nothing short of brutal, highlighted by a vicious moment where Tito spiked Justice’s head through a steel chair, leaving the challenger seething for revenge. In this Falls Count Anywhere match, boundaries will be broken as these two warriors battle throughout the arena. Justice’s penchant for chaos meets Tito’s raw, merciless power, ensuring an unpredictable championship confrontation.
Último Guerrero & Hechicero vs. Esfinge & Kevin Knight
One of the most legendary figures in lucha libre, Último Guerrero teams up with Hechicero to take on Esfinge and Kevin Knight. Guerrero’s storied career are matched by Hechicero’s spellbinding lucha. Esfinge, still fueled by their rivalry from CMLL’s Anniversario show, and the explosive Kevin Knight aim to disrupt the dominance of their more experienced foes. This match promises to showcase a fusion of power, strategy, and defiance.
MLW World Featherweight Title Fight: Janai Kai vs. Lluvia vs. Persephone
Janai Kai, the reigning “Kick Demon,” defends her MLW World Featherweight Championship against two fresh challengers: Lluvia and Persephone. Lluvia’s rise in CMLL has marked her as a formidable opponent ready to make a statement, while Persephone’s raw power and unorthodox tactics add an unpredictable dynamic to the match. This bout is set to test Kai’s championship mettle.
Chain Match: Alex Kane vs. BRG
Alex Kane’s rivalry with BRG has reached a breaking point after repeated attacks at the hands of BRG and the Rogue Horsemen, who left Kane battered and beaten with a chain. Now, Kane seeks retribution in a chain match where escape is impossible and every blow counts. This is not just a fight; it’s a battle for respect and vengeance, where Kane’s resilience meets BRG’s cunning in a showdown that promises to be brutal.
