ROH Tag Team titles change hands at CMLL Viernes Espectacular
New ROH Tag Team Champions have been crowned.
Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos lost the titles in the main event of CMLL’s Friday night event in Mexico City to Mistico & Mascara Dorada. The finish had Dorada wiping out Guevara with a middle rope shooting star press to the floor as Mistico submitted Mortos in the middle of the ring with La Mistica, earning the victory and the titles for Sky Team.
The title win for Mistico and Dorada is notable as they will travel to San Jose for AEW’s Forbidden Door this Sunday. They will wrestle in a three-way match with The Young Bucks and Shingo Takagi & Titan.
ROH Tag Team titles in a state of flux
Mortos & Guevara held the titles for 204 days, defeating Tommy Billington and Adam Priest in a match for the vacant titles back in December at Final Battle.
However, It was noted during ROH Supercard of Honor back in May that Mortos, as well as Kommander, have not been able to wrestle in AEW due to ongoing via issues, preventing Mortos from defending the titles on ROH television. Instead, Guevara has been traveling to Mexico to team with Mortos in CMLL. Last Friday, they retained against El Hijo del Villano III and Villano III Jr. in a match that later aired during ROH Global Wars.
