Main Event Matches
In a highly anticipated main event at the upcoming Lucha Libre Festival, fans will witness an electrifying clash between Hechicero and Esfinge. Hechicero, also known as Rey Hechicero, is a Mexican luchador Enmascarado (masked professional wrestler) who is a former CMLL World Heavyweight Champion. He portrays a Rudo (“bad guy“) character and has made appearances on the Mexican independent circuit, as well as in Japan for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and in the United States for CMLL partner promotions Ring of Honor (ROH) and All Elite Wrestling (AEW). His real name is not publicly known, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico, where their private lives are kept a secret. Hechicero made his debut on February 15, 2001, and has trained with notable wrestlers, winning multiple championships throughout his career, including the WWA World Middleweight Championship and the NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship.
Esfinge, born on June 14, 1993, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, is a celebrated Luchador Enmascarado currently competing for CMLL as the reigning Mexican National Light Heavyweight Champion. His journey in professional wrestling began in late 2009 under the name Halcón Furia Jr., an homage to his wrestling lineage. By 2011, Esfinge had evolved into his current character, inspired by Egyptian mythology. Known for his impressive agility and technical prowess, he has earned numerous achievements throughout his career, including the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship and the Occidente Light Heavyweight Championship, showcasing his talent and dedication to the sport.
Fans can also look forward to a thrilling men’s tag team match featuring Rey Mictlan and L. Sorpresa against the dynamic pairing of Low Rider and Juventud Aera. Additionally, the event will highlight a Texano Three-Way Match with competitors Diego De La Cruz, Auzzy, and Rocco Montana.
