Hechicero issues challenge for Claudio Castagnoli’s CMLL Heavyweight title
The Don Callis Family and Death Riders rivalry continued on Friday at Arena Mexico.
Claudio Castagnoli successfully defended his CMLL World Heavyweight title against former champion Ultimo Guerrero in the main event.
Following the match, Hechicero, who is under a dual contract with AEW and CMLL, challenged Castagnoli for a title match on next week’s Arena Mexico show on March 20. Castagnoli accepted before attacking Hechicero, leading to a brawl between the two in the ring.
Castagnoli’s win over Guerrero on Friday was his sixth successful defense of the belt, which he won from Gran Guerrero on the November 28, 2025 show at Arena Mexico.
