Orange Cassidy & more international stars added to CMLL Grand Prix teams
CMLL is bringing in international stars from AEW, NJPW, ROH, RevPro, MLW, and MLP for the Grand Prix event. The Grand Prix is one of my favorite matches on the CMLL calendar, because the fans treat it like a big deal. They get rowdy in support of Mexico, as if it were a World Cup game. The concept is a torneo cibernetico with luchadores representing Mexico versus a team of wrestlers from around the world. Only one man remains standing as the ultimate winner. This year’s CMLL Grand Prix for the men takes place on August 7 from Arena Mexico. The full teams have been revealed. Mexico: Mistico, Ultimo Guerrero, Volador Jr., Hechicero, Bárbaro Cavernario, Angel de Oro, Soberano Jr., Templario, Mascara Dorada, Titan, Xelhua World: Bandido (Mexico) from AEW, Claudio Castagnoli (Switzerland) from AEW, El Bastardo PAC (UK) from AEW, Orange Cassidy (USA) from AEW, Roderick Strong (USA) from AEW, Douki (Japan) from NJPW, Yujiro (Japan) from NJPW, Blake Christian (USA) from ROH, Austin Aries (USA)

Mistico tag title defense, Claudio faces a legend in Arena Mexico
Friday night is looking tight for CMLL. The lucha libre promotion booked Mistico in a tag title defense and Claudio Castagnoli will wrestle a legend in Arena Mexico. Last week in trios action, Angel de Oro and Niebla Roja pinned ROH tag team champions Mistico and Mascara Dorada. Los Hermanos Chavez currently hold the CMLL World Tag Team Championship and the NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship. Mistico accepted the challenge on one condition. If Sky Team retains ROH gold, then they will be granted a shot at the CMLL tag titles. CMLL booked the ROH bout for Friday night (July 10, 2026) in Arena Mexico. It will be the first defense for Sky Team. Ángel de Oro y Niebla Roja fueron fuertemente respaldados por Hechicero en el encuentro estelar y aprovecharon para derrotar a Atlantis, Místico y Máscara Dorada. Los Hermanos Chávez no perdieron el tiempo y desafiaron al Sky Team por el Campeonato Mundial de Parejas de ROH. pic.twitter.com/S3UkI1AEtS — Lucha Libre CMLL (@CMLL_OFICIAL)
