At last night's CMLL Viernes Espectacular event, top AEW star and member of the Death Riders, Claudio Castagnoli, defeated Gran Guerrero to become the new CMLL World Heavyweight Champion. This victory followed Castagnoli's acceptance of an open challenge from Guerrero earlier in the week. He won the match with his signature move, the Neutralizer, leading to a pinfall.
This victory marks Castagnoli's first reign as champion, ending Guerrero's impressive title reign of 1,117 days. Guerrero had won the championship from Hechicero during the November 7, 2022 episode of CMLL Lunes Clasico.
