  • Two Major CMLL Stars Dealing with Injuries

    Two Major CMLL Stars Dealing with Injuries

    Bad news for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre as two of their top roster members are currently dealing with injuries.

    One of them is the current CMLL Women’s World Champion, Persephone. “La Diosa” was part of two matches during Wrestlemania Week, the first occurred on April 16th in the CMLL at Palms Slam Fest where she successfully defended her CMLL Championship against Tessa Blanchard. The next day, Friday April 17th, she took part of the Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling’s (MLP) event, Multiverse. She was part of a four-way match for the MLP Canadian Women’s Championship against a surprising last minute addition Killer Kelly, Shotzi Blackheart and the defending champion, Gisele Shaw, where she was unsuccessful on capturing the championship after Shaw stole the pinfall after Persephone performed her version of the Razor’s Edge over Killer Kelly.

    On Monday, April 20th, Persephone was scheduled to compete in a show in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. La Diosa came out to a great ovation but revealed that unfortunately, she suffered an injury during one of his matches in Las Vegas as she showed a walking boot to a negative reception. Persephone committed to the event and did a Meet & Greet at the event with fans without giving a specific time out due to the injury.

    Last night, during a CMLL Lunes Clasico show, Mistico teamed up with Esfinge to take on long time rival Volador Jr and Ultimo Guerrero in the main event on Arena Puebla in a two-out of-three falls match. During the middle of the third and final fall, Mistico asked the doctor and referee to stop the match as he started limping near the end of the contest. Over the last couple weeks, fans on social media have mentioned that “El Principe de Plata y Oro” has been working slower than usual, including his performance in MLP Multiverse where he teamed up with Amazing Red and Mascara Dorada in a trios contest against The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz & Myron Reed).

    Bodyslam will keep a close eye on both situations and wishing a speedy recovery to both luchadores.
