CMLL reveals date for Chris Jericho vs. Mistico
Chris Jericho will face Mistico at CMLL’s 91st Anniversary event in September, the promotion officially announced Wednesday.
In a two-part video promo posted to CMLL’s X account late Wednesday, Jericho announced that he is returning to Arena Mexico on Friday, September 13 for CMLL’s 91st Anniversary event, where he will challenge Mistico.
In the promo, Jericho called the bout the biggest of Mistico’s career, and one of the biggest of Jericho’s:
Jericho made a surprise appearance at CMLL’s traditional Friday night Arena Mexico event on June 28, attacking Mistico in a reprise of an angle Jericho has done in the past — wearing a mask, making the surprise attack, then unmasking as Jericho — to set up the Anniversary event contest.
The match against Mistico on September 13 will be Jericho’s first for CMLL in Mexico since 1995.
Jericho regularly worked for the promotion from 1993 to 1995 in the early stages of his Hall of Fame career.
