CMLL wrestler announces in-ring return after two eye surgeries

La Catalina CMLL

Away from in-ring action for nearly a month, CMLL’s La Catalina has announced her in-ring return.

In late -2025, she stepped away from in-ring competition to undergo two separate eye surgeries which sidelined her and required her to rest.

The 25-year-old uploaded an update on Facebook on Tuesday where she opened up about her surgeries and clearance for in-ring return in February (translation provided by Fightful’s Luis Pulido):

For those who are commenting and sending angry messages with me because I have not appeared in several shows…I had two surgeries on my eyes in December. I just got medically cleared for FEBRUARY. My eyes are recovering very well, thank God.”

She last wrestled on the December 4 Invasion Indy show against Olympia & Zeuxis. An active part of CMLL and the Mexican independent scene, she has also been a part of several ROH (Ring of Honor) matches, wrestling six times for the promotion in 2025 and competing for both the ROH Women’s title and ROH Women’s TV title.
