Mistico is starting a new chapter.
On the October 30th episode of CMLL Informa, Mistico announced that he is relinquishing the CMLL World Historic Middleweight Championship because his body has changed, and he is closer to being a light heavyweight, rather than a middleweight. He also noted that he was beat up from so many defenses. Mistico also explained that he would be moving up in weight and going for the light heavyweight titles in the future.
CMLL will hold a tournament for the vacant title, but additional details are currently unclear.
Mistico had held the title for 2,263 days, as he won it by defeating Ultimo Guerrero in 2018. He was the longest-reigning World Historic Middleweight Champion in the history of the title. Mistico last defended the championship against Volador Jr. at CMLL 71 Aniverario on July 15th, 2024.
Fightful will provide more information as it becomes available.
