CMLL thanks AEW following Mistico vs. Rocky Romero match

CMLL is thankful for AEW following the start of a working relationship between the two companies.

On Thursday, CMLL issued an official statement expressing its gratitude to Tony Khan and AEW for how its wrestlers and director Salvador Lutteroth III were treated on Wednesday night. A match between Mistico and Rocky Romero was taped following Wednesday’s Dynamite in Rosenberg, Texas. It will air on AEW Rampage this Friday.

CMLL stated that this can be the beginning of a solid alliance between the promotions that is beneficial for both parties. CMLL said it was an honor and a privilege to be showcased on an international stage like AEW.

CMLL also thanked the AEW fans for the warm welcome that Mistico and Romero received.

Mistico made his AEW debut in the match against Romero. Spoilers from the tapings can be found here.

Dave Meltzer wrote yesterday about the ticket sales for Wednesday’s show: “As of this morning, AEW’s show tonight has moved well over 2,100 tickets since the announcement of Mistico. Some of this is lowering prices but every company lowers prices if not sold out at the end. This is a noteworthy number but also notable Mistico’s first AEW appearance and being in Houston is a one time thing.”

Romero is the current NWA World Historic Welterweight Champion in CMLL.
