Folks, we’ve got a big one here! At CMLL’s 91st Anniversary Show, the one and only Willow Nightingale—our beacon of joy and destruction—has lost the CMLL Women’s World Championship. It was a wild ride, folks, but when you’re on the top rope with Zeuxis, things can get ugly fast. And that’s exactly what happened when Zeuxis delivered a massive avalanche powerslam, sending Nightingale crashing down to the mat and her title reign with it. A brutal end, but hey, that’s wrestling!
This was Willow’s first title defense since winning the belt in a Triple Threat match back in July. Since then, she’s been busy battling AEW’s toughest, including Deonna Purrazzo and former pal Kris Statlander, who—let’s be honest—turned into her fiercest foe. These two even almost clashed for the title at AEW’s All Out pay-per-view, but CMLL said “no thanks” to sanctioning a Chicago Street Fight for the belt. It didn’t stop them, though—oh no, folks, the chaos still happened. Light tubes? Check. Thumbtacks? Double check. Statlander won the battle, but both women won our respect.
Now, here’s the thing: Most people would be sulking after back-to-back losses like this, but not Willow. Oh no, this woman’s got more accomplishments in the past year than I have golf clubs—and that’s saying something! She’s the inaugural NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, the 2023 Owen Hart Cup winner, and let’s not forget her reign as AEW TBS Champion. Folks, this is just a speed bump for Willow, and I guarantee she’s got something big up her sleeve.
