AEW and CMLL Launch Grand Slam Mexico
AEW, known for embracing global wrestling styles, counters with its Grand Slam Mexico event at Arena Mexico on June 15. That card is stacked—Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, Mistico, and Mascara Dorada headline a historic night. AEW isn’t stopping there. Their stars will hit multiple CMLL shows during Grand Slam Week, including Thunder Rosa, Kyle Fletcher, and Konosuke Takeshita.
A Battle for the Soul of Lucha Libre
This isn’t just brand warfare. It’s a cultural clash. WWE’s corporate power meets AEW’s open-door philosophy. WWE is banking on spectacle and legacy—using the “Worlds Collide” name from the legendary 1994 AAA/WCW event. Meanwhile, AEW rides fan passion and authentic storytelling, spotlighting Lucha Libre’s deep roots.
Why This Matters
For the first time in decades, both major U.S. promotions are investing big in Mexican wrestling. Lucha Libre isn’t just a side show—it’s now the main event.
As Penta said on the Raw Recap podcast, “This is a very good opportunity for younger and Mexican wrestlers.”
Lucha Libre’s soul is on the line. And in June, the world will be watching.
