CMLL Lightweight Title To Be Defended For First Time In Four Years

The CMLL World Lightweight Championship is finally set to be defended, with Stigma set to put the title on the line for the first time in four years. CMLL announced on Monday night that Stigma will defend the championship against Calavera Jr. I.

Calavera I threw out the challenge after he and Calavera Jr. II defeated Stigma and Arkalis and Stigma in tag team action.

Stigma has held the CMLL World Lightweight Championship since he won the then-vacant title in a tournament final on March 15th, 2022. He defended it three times in three months, but has not put the title on the line since July 18th, 2022. The title reign currently stands at 1,701 days.

There is no word as of yet on when Calavera I will get his World Lightweight Championship match against Stigma.
