After a hard-hitting bout between the two, Zeuxis ended up picking up the victory in the match with a Spanish Fly to pick up the win and becoming the World Women's Champion. This was Zeuxis's third singles title for CMLL, previously holding the REINA-CMLL International Championship & the CMLL National Women's Championship.

Willow had previously won the title in a Triple Threat in NJPW x CMLL's joint event "FantasticaMania USA", outlasting Lluvia & Viva Van after Stephanie Vaquer was stripped from the title after departing CMLL. Willow had lost a championship eliminator match against Kris Statlander on the July 31, 2024 edition of AEW Dynamite. No updates have been provided on when Statlander will challenge for the title.
