Lee South MJF vs Will Ospreay Little Rock, AR AEW Dyanmite July 18, 2024
Professional wrestler MJF is set to make a highly anticipated return to CMLL next week, where he will challenge Averno for the CMLL Light Heavyweight Championship. This match is scheduled for Friday, August 1, 2024, as part of the prestigious Viernes Espectacular event at Arena Mexico. This marks MJF’s second appearance in CMLL, following his victory over Templario in August 2024.
The stakes are high for MJF, who aims to secure his first championship within the CMLL organization. He recently faced off against Mistico at last month’s AEW Grand Slam Mexico, where he suffered a loss by disqualification. Their ongoing rivalry has generated speculation that they may meet again at this year’s CMLL Anniversary Show in September.
Averno, the current champion, has held the title for nearly 500 days, with only four successful defenses since capturing the gold in March 2024. His most recent defense was against Mistico this past May, showcasing his resilience and experience in the ring.
MJF, who is currently embroiled in a feud with Mark Briscoe in AEW, is also dealing with internal conflicts within his faction, The Hurt Syndicate. Despite these challenges, he holds an opportunity for an AEW World title shot following his victory in the Casino Gauntlet at this month’s All In event.
In the lead-up to the match, fans are eager to see how MJF will adapt to the CMLL style and whether he can overcome Averno’s experience and championship pedigree. As excitement builds for the upcoming event, the wrestling community is keenly watching MJF’s return to CMLL and the implications it may have for his career trajectory.
This matchup not only highlights MJF’s versatility as a wrestler but also reinforces the competitive spirit of CMLL, a promotion known for its rich history and vibrant performances. With both competitors bringing unique strengths to the ring, the fight for the Light Heavyweight Championship promises to be a thrilling encounter.
