Title vs. mask match set for CMLL 92nd Anniversary Show

A key match for this year’s CMLL Anniversary show is official.

After MJF retained the CMLL Light Heavyweight title against Zandokan Jr. on Friday, MJF took his mask and dared Mistico to come out. Right as he and Jon Cruz were about to leave, Mistico arrived, sending them out of the ring. It was there that Mistico issued the challenge for the Anniversary show on September 19. MJF rejected the match, but said he would accept if Mistico put his mask on the line. Mistico agreed, making the match official.

MJF then entered the ring, saying where he comes from, they handshake on a deal. Mistico shook MJF’s hand, but as soon as he turned his back MJF laid out Mistico with the CMLL title. He then removed Mistico’s mask and planted him with a tombstone piledriver. He and Cruz draped the United States flag over Mistico as the rest of the Sky Team, Neon and Mascara Dorada, came out for the save, with MJF and Cruz bolting out of the arena to close out the show.

Most of the summer has seen MJF feud with Mistico, with the two meeting at AEW Grand Slam Mexico. Mistico won by DQ after MJF low blowed him, with the two also crossing paths at AEW All In during the Casino Gauntlet match that MJF eventually won. MJF even made a surprise appearance during MLW’s Summer of the Beasts in June, attacking Mistico.
