Alex Gracia is looking forward to returning to CMLL.
Over the years, Gracia has competed for IMPACT Wrestling, AEW, Ring of Honor, and a number of promotions on the independent scene, including Women's Wrestling Army. She was recently announced for the CMLL Grand Prix, which will also include Lady Frost and Mei Suruga, among others.
In an interview with PWMania.com, Gracia discussed her return to CMLL. She emphasized that he has been working on her Lucha training and noted that it has been a fun process. Gracia also acknowledged the fact that she's only one of three American women in the competition. She stated that performing for CMLL is what she needs after dealing with a series of rejections.
“I’m just ready to go back better than I was before. I’ve been doing my Lucha training and having to train their way because they wrestled the opposite from the US so I’m having to retrain myself all over but it’s been a fun process. To be one of the three Americans going to represent the USA in this Mexico versus the World tournament, I just think that’s what I needed in my career because I just felt like you get so down on yourself when you feel like it’s rejection after rejection after rejection. Like what did I do wrong? I feel like I’m trying to stay up with my brand, stay up with my improvements, stay up with being in front of people’s faces. You feel like you’re doing all the right things, but you may not be getting seen," Gracia said.
Gracia continued by describing how CMLL reaching out has re-motivated her, and she's thankful for the opportunity to compete at Arena Mexico. She emphasized that she's focused on her involvement with the CMLL Grand Prix because she wants to make an impact.
"When CMLL reached out, it’s like, okay, they saw me and it feels good and it felt really re-motivating again, to be like, okay, you can do this. They wouldn’t just ask anybody and so you need to see that as there’s a lot of people who don’t get that opportunity or that chance to wrestle in Arena Mexico, and I’m gonna get to do that and so I was just super thankful. I’m just super motivated and focusing on that right now because I want to go and make an impact there," Gracia said.
