Willow Nightingale to defend Women’s title at CMLL 91st Anniversary show

Willow Nightingale will make her first defense of the CMLL Women’s Championship at the promotion’s 91st Anniversary event.

CMLL revealed Wednesday night that Nightingale’s first defense will come against Zeuxis in Arena Mexico on the 91st Anniversary event scheduled for Friday, September 13.

AEW will have a heavy presence at the 91st Anniversary show, with Chris Jericho facing Mistico in a dream match on the card, plus Orange Cassidy set to make his CMLL debut on the show.

Nightingale will also be in action on this Saturday’s AEW All Out pay-per-view, facing Kris Statlander in a Chicago street fight. Nightingale’s CMLL title will not be on the line in the All Out contest.

Zeuxis made her AEW debut earlier this year, losing to Mercedes Mone in a TBS title bout on the June 12 Dynamite.

Nightingale won the CMLL Women’s Championship on a joint NJPW/CMLL Fantasticamania event in San Jose on July 13.
