Mexican wrestling legend Ultimo Guerrero added another championship to his storied career on Friday night, May 2nd, capturing Major League Wrestling (MLW) gold. The title change occurred during a special CMLL vs. MLW joint show, showcasing talent from both promotions.
In a featured bout, Guerrero challenged Matthew Justice for the MLW National Openweight Championship. The veteran luchador ultimately secured the victory and the title after executing a top-rope reverse suplex on Justice for the pinfall.
This marks a significant championship win outside of his home promotion (CMLL) for Guerrero, whose illustrious career began in 1990. Known as a multi-time CMLL World Heavyweight Champion and holding various other titles primarily in Mexico, this victory adds the MLW National Openweight Championship to his extensive list of accomplishments.
The win occurred on a night designed to highlight the partnership and talent exchange between the two distinct wrestling organizations, bringing lucha libre style face-to-face with MLW’s hybrid presentation in front of fans eager for cross-promotional action. Guerrero’s championship victory stands as a major outcome from this special collaborative event.
