Mistico, Yota Tsuji and Konosuke Takeshita added to NJPW/CMLL Lucha Kingdom card
New additions have been confirmed for the inaugural NJPW/CMLL Lucha Kingdom show at Arena Mexico on November 16, including Mistico and Ultimo Guerrero vs. Yota Tsuji and Hirooki Goto, and Konosuke Takeshita vs. Barbaro Cavernario.
New match announcements have expanded the lineup for the first-ever Lucha Kingdom co-promotional show between New Japan Pro-Wrestling and CMLL, scheduled for November 16 at Arena Mexico in Mexico City.
The promotions confirmed a tag match pairing Mistico with Ultimo Guerrero against IWGP Heavyweight Champion Yota Tsuji and Hirooki Goto. The card will also feature Konosuke Takeshita in a singles match with Barbaro Cavernario. NJPW noted this will be Takeshita's second trip to Mexico since a 2024 excursion as a Young Lion; Goto is returning to wrestle in Mexico for the first time since 2011, when he faced Guerrero on CMLL's 55th anniversary show.
POST Wrestling also noted a separate CMLL announcement that AEW's TNT Champion Darby Allin is booked to face Hechicero on this Friday's Arena Mexico show, a distinct CMLL event from the November co-promotional card.
With seven matches now confirmed, the lineup for November's Lucha Kingdom lineup could be complete. The announced card reads as follows:
- Black Tiger, KUSHIDA, Shoma Kato & Yutani vs. Barboza, Difunto, Furia Roja & Zandokan Jr.
- SHO & Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs. Guerrero Maya Jr. & Xelhua
- Master Wato, Okumura & YOH vs. Brillante Jr., Capitan Suicida & Rey Pegasus
