AEW stars are making a return to the legendary Arena Mexico this weekend, following a World Championship contest with another promotion. AEW and CMLL have an ongoing partnership, and the upcoming Arena Mexico event will spotlight Beast Moltos in a title match. The bout, confirmed by CMLL Informa, will see Moltos challenge Gran Guerrero for the World Heavyweight Championship on Sunday, November 23rd.
This marks Moltos’ return to the historic venue after 14 years, with the AEW wrestler reflecting on his emotional comeback subsequent to the Grand Slam event in Mexico earlier this year. Although Moltos competed for the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship in July, he has yet to secure a title in CMLL. Moltos shares connections with fellow AEW roster members familiar with international championships. For instance, Mercedes Monet recently bolstered her championship resume by defeating Red Velvet in the unification match for the ROH Women’s World Television Championship. Before signing with AEW in January 2024, Moltos was known in the ring as “Black Taurus.”
Fan Take: This development is exciting for AEW fans as it highlights the promotion’s growing international influence and collaboration with major wrestling organizations like CMLL. Moltos’ high-profile match in Arena Mexico could open doors for more cross-promotional championship opportunities, enriching the wrestling landscape worldwide.
