Below is the official statement:
Místico vs. Templario vs. Kwon announced for Azteca Lucha
The MLW Azteca Lucha can be live-streamed for free on Saturday, May 10 on YouTube.
MLW Azteca Lucha • May 10 | Cicero Stadium | 10PM ET Free on YouTube
CHICAGO — Major League Wrestling (“MLW”) has now confirmed the match between Místico, Templario, and Ikuro Kwon at MLW Azteca Lucha, to be broadcasted live on YouTube from the fully booked Cicero Stadium in Chicago on Saturday, May 10.
The event is fully booked. Wrestling enthusiasts from around the world can enjoy the Azteca Lucha for free starting at 10:00 p.m. ET on YouTube.com/MajorLeagueWrestling.
The initial plan was a one-on-one showdown between Místico and Templario, a match that was set up at SuperFight 6 when Templario caused an upset by pinning down Místico in a tag team match. This marks the lucha legend’s first defeat since joining MLW.
Los Angeles was supposed to be the venue for the rematch, but it was delayed after Místico sustained an injury. Now that he’s fit and cleared by the doctors, he’s ready for redemption. However, the journey back to the top just got tougher.
At Battle RIOT VII, while Místico was publicly stepping down from the MLW World Middleweight Title due to injury, Ikuro Kwon of CONTRA Unit interrupted the announcement, ridiculed the injured icon and caused havoc. Kwon spat his toxic mist into the face of MLW President César Durán, temporarily blinding him, then stole the vacated Middleweight title. Despite having no legitimate claim to it, CONTRA Unit is still in possession of the belt.
Annoyed by this, Místico demanded a match against Templario and Kwon, which was granted by César Durán.
Consequently, MLW Azteca Lucha will be capped off by a high-stakes triple threat match:
Místico vs. Templario vs. Ikuro Kwon.
Chicago will witness a lucha libre dream match colliding with CONTRA Unit’s nightmare.
Templario, also known as “El Guerrero León” (The Warrior Lion), is coming with a strong momentum, displaying a combination of power and aerial domination in his pursuit to overthrow Místico and become the mightiest masked man in Mexico.
Místico, a lucha libre icon and the 21st century’s biggest box office star in Mexico, now finds himself in a predicament, having to deal with two formidable opponents in order to get back his throne.
Will Místico be able to rise above these challenges and establish dominance in MLW once again?
Catch all the action at MLW Azteca Lucha — May 10, live from Chicago.
MLW Azteca Lucha will be streaming LIVE and FREE on YouTube.com/MajorLeagueWrestling at 10pm ET / 9pm CT on Saturday, May 10.
The tickets are SOLD OUT.
