On Friday night in Mexico City, MJF, a prominent AEW star, faced off against CMLL legend Mistico during the historic CMLL 92nd Anniversario event. The match, held in front of a passionate crowd, was marked by a brutal exchange that ended with MJF tapping out and relinquishing his CMLL title.
The contest became increasingly physical as MJF aggressively targeted Mistico’s iconic mask and caused heavy bleeding early on. Jon Cruz, who accompanied MJF to the ring, repeatedly interfered before Templario entered the scene to counteract Cruz’s involvement. In the final moments, Mistico delivered a superkick that sent Cruz off the apron, then locked in his signature submission hold, La Mistica, forcing MJF to concede the match and his championship.
