Start the function
The function of this great Spectacular Friday event at the Arena México is ready in a meeting with great attendance.
Does not rule out the CMLL
Chris Jericho is an established star in world wrestling. He began his career in the CMLL in Mexico where he fought as Corazón de León, now there would be the possibility of seeing him back in the Arena México since AEW and the CMLL have an agreement.
Regarding this, 'Y2J' indicated in an interview for WFAA that he never thought about returning to our country to fight; However, if the fight they propose is good, he would consider returning.
“It depends on what the fight is. That's the good thing for me right now, I never have to go back to Mexico, I spent many years there and I loved my time there, but if a fight came up that was interesting, I would do it," Jericho commented.
Rivalry would grow
Atlantis Jr already returned to Mexico after a great tour of Japan, but now he will have a new rival after Soberano Jr's betrayal after the NJPW World Tag League.
The heir to Atlantis was baffled by this betrayal.
“It never crossed my mind that Soberano was going to betray me and we made it clear that the Mexican fight is one of the best. The friendship is over because he took my mask off and this Friday at the Arena México we are going to meet and I will not forget that.”
Charge to the team
Soberano spoke about Atlantis' injury and assured that he was the one who carried the team, growing the rivalry.
“The videos don't lie, I considered him my brother. I spoke with Junior and told him that we had to win the race in the tournament. I want to be a legend like Mil Máscaras. I have had dislocated collarbones and a couple of torn ligaments and I have continued to struggle. 80 percent of the fights were done by me. I was honest and we have to fight the same.”
A mask or hair will fall
The CMLL wants to start with everything in 2024, announcing that the Sin Salida event will take place in the Mexico Arena, where 16 gladiators from the little stars will be measured by their mask or hair.
After several weeks of rivalry, the contract for the betting fight was finally signed. In this cage there will be: Little Gunpowder, Little Pierroth, Minos, Mercury, Little Olympian, Full Metal, Galaxy, Último Dragoncito, Kaligua, Shockercito, Fantasy, Aerial, Steel, Little Magic, Little Angel and Little Violence.
He wants to return to CMLL
The Alvarado dynasty is one of the respected ones. Over the years, various members of this family have stood out in the arenas of our country. Máximo positioned himself as the most remembered exotic of recent times, where he mentioned to the media Esto that he would like to remove his thorn and face the gladiator of another level, Ultimo Guerrero.
“I would like to get rid of my thorn, return to the World Wrestling Council and go head to head against Último Guerrero for the scalps. I also want to seek revenge against the Texano who scalped me twice. I would love that, those thorns that I left in the past,” he told Diario de los Deportistas at 42 years old.
Mexico Arena
The Arena México, also known as The Cathedral of Wrestling, is located in the Colonia Doctores in Mexico City. The main wrestling matches take place inside. It was inaugurated on April 27, 1956 by Don Salvador Lutteroth González and its capacity is for 16,500 fans.
They launch a challenge
Brillante Jr, Espanto Jr and Andrade launched the challenge to Los Predadores, since the Laguneros want to face Volador Jr., a fighter who was stripped of his mystery and two of his students on December 22.
8 years later
Andrade is back in the Arena México, after 8 years, the fighter returns to the CMLL this December 15 before a very different audience and roster.
Rumors indicated that the Lagunera star would form a faction alongside Soberano Jr. But this was ruled out in this week's CMLL Informa, since the only team that would be considered is the Andrade Family with Brillante Jr. and Espanto Jr.
Hubby
Little by little the fans arrive at the arena, a good entry is expected for this traditional Friday performance at the Arena México.
They are already at the venue
All the gladiators are now in the Arena, some fighters enter the locker rooms to get ready, while others reconnoitre the arena or carry out other activities.

He will be accompanied by Soberano Jr. and Ángel de Oro will face Místico, Atlantis and Star Jr. in a fight that promises a great show. In addition to the fight for the historic Welterweight World Championship held by Rocky Romero and that Mascara Dorada wants.
Kemallito, new character
Los Bárbaros (Dragón Rojo Jr., El Terrible and Bárbaro Cavernario), faced Místico, Volador Jr. and Máscara Dorada. But a tiny being appeared to try to give the victory to the rudos by intervening to distract Místico and the referee, a situation taken advantage of by La Comandante to strip the Rey de Plata y Oro of his mask, but this was not enough, as he recovered his cover and applied the mística to Cavernario.
FantasticaMania 2024

Rivalry promises
A rivalry that promises for 2024, is that of Máscara Dorada against Rocky Romero, after this there will be an opportunity for the Cuban's title, an issue that the former Panterita del Ring took advantage of the microphones.
"Today he gives me the opportunity for this championship, obviously I had to accept it, because I have already faced him several times and he has always beaten me badly, he always takes off my mask or makes me faul, this Friday he won't be able to do that, because I will be more attentive", commented Máscara Dorada to the media.
He doesn't hide his joy
Regarding Andrade's return, Máscara Dorada did not hide his joy, since he is an idol from Laguna that he has followed and seen as an example to follow.
"A wrestler I watched since I was a kid. I'm very happy he's back, hopefully at some point I'll have the chance to face him," said the former Panterita del Ring.
Andrade returns
The CMLL gave several clues that a wrestler would join again to the billboards and immediately several names were shuffled, but the one that sounded the most is that of "La Sombra" and after much official announcement was given.
Andrade El Idolo returns to Arena Mexico to live again a night of Lucha Libre with the CMLL and it will be on December 15 that La Sombra will step again in the cathedral of Lucha Libre.
"Every corner of this Arena reminds me of where I come from. This is where true heroes are forged. A shadow returns to resurface and this December 15, Andrade El Idolo 'La Sombra', returns to his home, the Arena Mexico, and comes to settle unfinished business," Andrade said in the video announcing his return.
The native of Gomez Palacio, Durango, had his first show in CMLL in 2007 under the name of La Sombra, obtaining the masks of Olimpico and Volador Jr, until his mask fell into the hands of Atlantis.
