CMLL announces date for 92nd Aniversario
CMLL has officially set a date for its biggest event of the year.
The promotion will hold its 92nd Aniversario at Arena Mexico on Friday, September 19. The announcement was made on Thursday night during CMLL’s weekly Informa news show. No matches have been booked for the event yet.
CMLL is the oldest wrestling promotion still in existence, with its history dating back to 1933 when it was founded as EMLL.
Last year’s Aniversario was headlined by Mistico defeating Chris Jericho in what was Jericho’s first match in a CMLL ring in nearly 30 years.
This week, Arena Mexico hosted AEW Dynamite for the first time ever and was also the location for a CMLL/ROH Global Wars event. The collaboration between CMLL and AEW continues at Arena Mexico tonight with a Fantastica Mania show also featuring NJPW talent. CMLL director Salvador Lutteroth Lomeli and AEW’s Tony Khan reaffirmed the collaborative ties between their companies during a meeting on Wednesday.
CMLL broadcasts shows live on its YouTube channel for paying members with the highest tier being $35 per month.
