CMLL notes: New NJPW Strong Tag Champions, Templario, AEW stars announced
Notes from Friday’s CMLL show in Arena Mexico.
New Strong Openweight Tag Team Champions were crowned when Angel de Oro and Niebla Roja defeated Templario and TJP to win the titles. Towards the end of the match, it appeared that Templario suffered a right leg injury and was unable to continue further. After the match was over, TJP raised the hand of the new champions, who posed with the titles.
Templario & TJP won the titles back in May, defeating the World Class Wrecking Crew at NJPW Resurgence. With the company choosing not to run any events in the United States in the second half of the year, the duo had mainly been defending the titles in Mexico leading to tonight’s match.
AEW talent was announced for next Friday’s event. Komander and The Beast Mortos will appear, though it is not known who their opponents will be. Meanwhile, JetSpeed will take on two thirds of the Sky Team, Mascara Dorada and Neon.
Friday’s event, the third sellout in as many weeks with over 16,000 attending, had a Linkin Park theme as banners were seen in the arena featuring members of the band. The main event had Atlantis Jr. and Neon defeating Volador Jr. and Hechicero.
