With AEW Revolution now within the rearview, it’s CMLL’s turn to carry an enormous event, with Homenaje a Dos Leyendas happening this Friday in CMLL’s homebase of Arena Mexico. At the tip of last week, the first draws for the show were the retirement match of El Satanico, and AEW stars Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, and Wheeler Yuta difficult Mistico, Mascara Dorada, and Neon for the CMLL World Trios Championships.
But a late announcement reveals each can be taking a backseat to the show’s actual important event. Taking to X on Tuesday morning, CMLL revealed the complete card for Homenaje a Dos Leyendas, including its latest headlining match, which can see Claudio Castagnoli defend the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship against the Don Callis Family’s Hechicero.

A Castagnoli-Hechicero match was first teased two weeks ago on “AEW Collision,” when Hechicero prevented Castagnoli from using the CMLL World Title belt as a weapon during his match with Konosuke Takeshita. But the difficulty fully boiled over this past Friday in Arena Mexico, where Hechicero served as a commentator for Castagnoli’s successful title defense against Ultimo Guerrero. After the match, Hechicero took exception to Castagnoli’s claims he was the perfect luchador in CMLL, hopped the barricade and challenged Castagnoli to defend the title next week. Castagnoli accepted and the 2 brawled briefly before Castagnoli retreated.
This can be Castagnoli’s seventh defense of the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship, while Hechicero will look to regain the title he held from September 2021 till October 2022. Castagnoli and Hechicero have faced off 3 times of their careers, twice in tag/trios motion and once in singles motion back in December 2024. In all three matches, Castagnoli has emerged the victor, including scoring the pinfall victory over Hechicero in tag team motion last week on “AEW Dynamite.”
