Neón Pulled from CMLL Events Due to Injury
CMLL fans witnessed a frightening moment during the December 5 edition of Viernes Espectacular when Neón, known as El Asteroide del Ring, suffered a severe injury after a dangerous fall. The high-flying star attempted his signature Double Jump Moonsault—an explosive meteor-like dive that has gone viral many times. However, he slipped on the top rope, crashed to the outside floor, and immediately required medical attention. Neón Pulled from CMLL Events Due to Injury!
The Failed “Meteor” That Changed the Night
Neón’s breathtaking move normally begins with a double leap off the third rope before flipping into his opponent outside the ring. This time, as he aimed to strike Bárbaro Cavernario, his foot slipped and sent him violently to the ground. Cavernario couldn’t break the fall, leaving the crowd in silence as medical staff rushed in. Neón left Arena México on a stretcher, prompting CMLL officials to quickly address the situation.
CMLL Confirms Neón’s Injury and Full-week Withdrawal
Following the incident, the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre released an official statement confirming Neón’s injury and announcing his removal from all scheduled appearances between December 8 and December 12. This includes shows in Puebla, Guadalajara, Toluca, and back at Arena México. CMLL thanked fans for their understanding and sent their best wishes for a fast recovery.
Sky Team Adjusts as Atlantis Jr. Steps In
Neón, a key member of the Sky Team alongside Místico and Máscara Dorada, will undergo evaluations in the coming days to determine his return date. In his absence, Atlantis Jr. has stepped in, already replacing him during the December 7 Domingo Familiar event and continuing in upcoming shows. His scheduled match against Kevin Knight at CMLL Dream Matches on December 19 remains uncertain.
What’s Next for El Asteroide del Ring?
With fans anxiously awaiting updates, Neón’s recovery timeline is still unknown. What is certain is that his electrifying style, fearless leaps, and explosive athleticism will be missed in the ring. As CMLL continues to monitor his condition, supporters across Mexico hope to see the Asteroide del Ring soar again soon.
