Wrestling Superstars to Shine at Amazon Gala in Laguna
The Arena Olímpica Laguna will host one of the most anticipated wrestling events of the year on Thursday, October 3, 2024. The “Gala De Amazonas” celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Gomezpalatino stage with a showcase of world-class talent from the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and La Laguna’s finest wrestlers. Fans of lucha libre are set to experience a night filled with high-energy action, as some of the biggest names in Mexican and international wrestling take to the ring.
At the forefront of this spectacular event is Tessa Blanchard, who, along with her tag team partner Lluvia, will headline the evening in a title defense for the CMLL World Women’s Tag Team Championships.
The Champions: Tessa Blanchard and Lluvia
Tessa Blanchard
Blanchard, a third-generation wrestling superstar, is known for her trailblazing career that spans several of the top promotions worldwide, including Impact Wrestling, AAA, and WWE. At just 29 years old, she made history as the first woman to win the Impact World Championship, a title traditionally held by men. Her intensity, technical mastery, and powerful in-ring presence have earned her a reputation as one of the most formidable wrestlers on the planet.
Alongside her is Lluvia, another wrestling powerhouse, who brings her own accolades to the Amazon Gala. Lluvia, whose name translates to “Rain,” is a masked luchadora who has been a mainstay of the Mexican wrestling scene since her debut in 2008. A second-generation wrestler, Lluvia is the daughter of lucha libre legend Sangre Chicana. Known for her elegance and agility in the ring, Lluvia has captivated fans with her dynamic performances. The pair are currently the reigning CMLL World Women’s Tag Team Champions and have dominated opponents with their seamless teamwork and impressive skills.
Lluvia
Lluvia’s journey has been equally inspiring. After training under the legendary El Satánico and Último Guerrero, she quickly rose through the ranks in CMLL, winning her first major honor in a Luchas de Apuestas match in 2009, where she claimed her opponent La Magnifica’s mask. Since then, Lluvia has gone on to capture numerous championships, including the Reina World Tag Team Championship and the CMLL Universal Amazons Championship in 2022. Now, as she prepares for the Amazon Gala, she aims to add another chapter to her already stellar career.
The Challengers: Zeuxis and La Catalina
Blanchard and Lluvia’s opponents, Zeuxis and La Catalina, are no strangers to gold themselves and are determined to dethrone the champions. Zeuxis, a former champion, is one of the most experienced and cunning luchadoras in CMLL. She’s hungry to regain her title and will bring her aggressive, no-nonsense style into the ring on October 3. Known for her technical skills and high-flying prowess, Zeuxis has been a fixture of the lucha libre scene, both in Mexico and abroad.
Her partner, La Catalina, is one of the fastest-rising stars in Mexican wrestling. With a combination of athleticism, charisma, and an ever-growing fanbase, La Catalina has quickly cemented her reputation as a fan favorite. Together, Zeuxis and La Catalina pose a formidable challenge to the reigning champions and will be looking to make history by capturing the CMLL World Women’s Tag Team Championships.
A Historic Night at Laguna Olympic Arena
The Gala De Amazonas isn’t just a showcase of current wrestling talent—it’s a celebration of 70 years of lucha libre history at the Arena Olímpica Laguna.

Tessa Blanchard: Wrestling’s Powerhouse
Beyond the glamour and drama of the tag team championship bout, much of the buzz surrounding the Gala De Amazonas centers on Tessa Blanchard herself. A true trailblazer, Blanchard’s career has seen her compete across the world, winning numerous championships, including the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship and the WOW World Championship. Her ability to break barriers in the male-dominated world of professional wrestling has made her one of the most compelling figures in the sport today.
Blanchard began her wrestling journey at the Highspots Wrestling School under the tutelage of George South and was inspired by her father’s legendary career as a member of the Four Horsemen. Despite the controversies that have followed her career, there’s no denying her immense talent and the impact she has made on the sport.
