Tournament Details

In June of 2009, CMLL announced a tournament of champions to determine the first ever CMLL Universal Champion. All CMLL normal men's division wrestlers who were current CMLL, NWA (later Historic) or Mexican National champions were able to participate, including tag team and trios champions.

By July 2010, it was finally clear this was meant to be an annual tournament, not a defended championship. It's still unclear if the defending champion automatically receives a birth in the following year's tournament. Reigning Universal champion Ultimo Guerrero was also CMLL World Heavyweight Champion during the second tournament.

The CMLL Universal Tournament appears to have taken the place of the Leyenda de Plata event as the most prestigious tournament of the year.

Champions By Year

2009: Ultimo Guerrero
2010: Jushin Lyger
2011: La Sombra
2012: Terrible
2013: Tanahashi

2009

CMLL originally announced a 14 man field. By the time of the first block of the bracket (all of which was held in Arena Mexico), the field had expanded to 16, with some changes to the list of participants.

Champions At Time Of Tournament

Wrestler Championship Held
Black Warrior Mexican National Trios Championship
Mascara Dorada CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship
Texano Jr. NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship
Hijo del Fantasma CMLL World Trios Championship

Dragon Rojo Jr. Mexican National Trios Championship
La Sombra CMLL World Tag Team Championship (1)

Ephesto CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship (3)
Ultimo Guerrero CMLL World Heavyweight Championship
Volador Jr. CMLL World Tag Team Championship
Negro Casas CMLL World Welterweight Championship
La Mascara CMLL World Trios Championship

When the tournament was announced...

  1. Sombra held the NWA World Welterweight Championship. Mephisto defeated him on May 27, 2009, in Acapulco to earn a birth in the tournament. Sombra stayed in, with the tag team championship
  2. Mistico was not included despite holding the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship. There was no explanation why, nor one when he was added to the tournament later on.
  3. Rey Bucanero held the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship, but lost it to Ephesto. Ephesto took his spot in the tournament.
