The CMLL Universal Tournament took the [[Leyenda de Plata]] event as the annual most prestigious CMLL tournament. It includes most (though not all) of CMLL's top wrestlers in a three week sixteen man single elimination tournament. Champions are drawn into two blocks and seeded by battle royal. The winner of each block face on the third week in a full three falls no time limit match. The winner of the tournament is awarded a red and gold belt, though the championship is not defended thru the year.  
The CMLL Universal Tournament took the [[Leyenda de Plata]] event's place as the most prestigious CMLL annual tournament. It includes most (though not all) of CMLL's top wrestlers in a multi-week tournament to establish a proverbial "champion of champions". The original format featured a three-week sixteen-man single-elimination tournament. Champions were drawn into two blocks of eight, seeded by battle royal, and competed in three single-fall rounds. The winner of each block would face off on the third week in a full three-falls no-time-limit match. The winner of the tournament is awarded a red and gold belt, though the championship is not defended through the year. Post-[[Lucha Libre Deaths During the COVID-19 Pandemic|Covid]], variants on the formula were employed, that delineate the championships by type.


Any CMLL men's division world or national champion is eligible for the tournament. The champions included are the CMLL set of championships ([[CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship|Lightweight]], [[CMLL World Welterweight Championship|Welterweight]], [[CMLL World Middleweight Championship|Middleweight]], [[CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship|Light Heavyweight]], [[CMLL World Heavyweight Championship|Heavyweight]], [[CMLL World Tag Team Championship|Tag Team]], [[CMLL World Trios Championship|Trios]]), the NWA Historic Championships ([[NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship|Welterweight]], [[NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship|Middleweight]], [[NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship|Light Heavyweight]]) and the Mexican National Championships held by CMLL men's luchadors ([[Mexican National Welterweight Championship|Welterweight]], [[Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship|Light Heavyweight]], [[Mexican National Trios Championship|Trios]]). In 2019, the [[Mexican National Heavyweight Championship]] was added to the list. The [[Mexican National Lightweight Championship]] may also now be considered, though no reigning champion has entered the Universal tournament yet.
Any CMLL men's division world or national champion is eligible for the tournament. The champions included are the CMLL set of championships ([[CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship|Lightweight]], [[CMLL World Welterweight Championship|Welterweight]], [[CMLL World Middleweight Championship|Middleweight]], [[CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship|Light Heavyweight]], [[CMLL World Heavyweight Championship|Heavyweight]], [[CMLL World Tag Team Championship|Tag Team]], [[CMLL World Trios Championship|Trios]]), the NWA Historic Championships ([[NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship|Welterweight]], [[NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship|Middleweight]], [[NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship|Light Heavyweight]]) and the Mexican National Championships ([[Mexican National Welterweight Championship|Welterweight]], [[Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship|Light Heavyweight]], [[Mexican National Trios Championship|Trios]]) held by CMLL men's luchadors. In 2019, the [[Mexican National Heavyweight Championship]] and [[Mexican National Lightweight Championship]] were both added to the list.


The field is strictly for sixteen luchadors. Originally, CMLL had a maximum of eighteen possible champions for sixteen spots. That would lead to some wrestlers winning two or even three championships sometime during the year strictly for the purpose of having the right number of champions. In other years, a healthy champion has been quietly left out of the tournament. The increased number of champions starting in 2019 meant multiple champions were left out for the first time.
Originally, the field was strictly for sixteen luchadors. As CMLL had a maximum of eighteen possible champions for sixteen spots.

In other years, a healthy champion has been quietly left out of the tournament. The increased number of champions starting in 2019 meant multiple champions were left out for the first time. Meanwhile, when there was an odd number of available champions for the 2026 edition, CMLL simply adjusted the specific rules of the match type to allow for everyone's inclusion.


In addition to the listed champions, CMLL offered a spot to the IWGP Heavyweight Championship on two occasions as an explaination to include [[Hiroshi Tanahashi]]. Lesser championships have been used as explanations for injury replacements. Okumrua used the [[Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship|Arena Coliseo Tag Team Champion]] to fill in for Diamante Azul in 2013. Diamante Azul used the [[Occidente Heavyweight Championship]] in 2017 when Atlantis suffered a knee injury.

The couple months prior to the tournament frequently see title changes to shape the field for the tournament, both in getting the right people in and ending up at the right number. Winning the tournament is considered a major achievement in CMLL. The Universal tournament was moved to the August/September time frame after it's first year, and was frequently been used as a springboard for [[CMLL Anniversario]] matches.

Winning the tournament is considered a major achievement in CMLL. The Universal tournament was moved to the August/September time frame after its first year until 2014, resettled on a regular April placement post-[[Lucha Libre Deaths During the COVID-19 Pandemic|Covid]] as to coincide the final with the annual [[Arena Mexico]] Anniversary Show, and has frequently been used as a springboard for [[CMLL Anniversario]] matches.

[[La Mascara]] & [[Mascara Dorada]] both ended their record of appearing in every tournament. Dorada, [[Valiente]] and [[Stuka Jr.]] challenged [[Mr. Niebla]], [[Felino]] and [[Negro Casas]] for the national trios championship on [[August 17]]th, after Casas & Felino had been eliminated but before Mr. Niebla had competed. Peste Negra retained, and it remained unclear if one of the challengers would taken Niebla's spot in the tournament had he lost.

Tournament Details

The CMLL Universal Tournament took the Leyenda de Plata event's place as the most prestigious CMLL annual tournament. It includes most (though not all) of CMLL's top wrestlers in a multi-week tournament to establish a proverbial "champion of champions". The original format featured a three-week sixteen-man single-elimination tournament. Champions were drawn into two blocks of eight, seeded by battle royal, and competed in three single-fall rounds. The winner of each block would face off on the third week in a full three-falls no-time-limit match. The winner of the tournament is awarded a red and gold belt, though the championship is not defended through the year. Post-Covid, variants on the formula were employed, that delineate the championships by type.

Any CMLL men's division world or national champion is eligible for the tournament. The champions included are the CMLL set of championships (Lightweight, Welterweight, Middleweight, Light Heavyweight, Heavyweight, Tag Team, Trios), the NWA Historic Championships (Welterweight, Middleweight, Light Heavyweight) and the Mexican National Championships (Welterweight, Light Heavyweight, Trios) held by CMLL men's luchadors. In 2019, the Mexican National Heavyweight Championship and Mexican National Lightweight Championship were both added to the list.

Originally, the field was strictly for sixteen luchadors. As CMLL had a maximum of eighteen possible champions for sixteen spots. That would lead to some wrestlers winning two or even three championships sometime during the year, strictly for the purpose of having the right number of champions. In other years, a healthy champion has been quietly left out of the tournament. The increased number of champions starting in 2019 meant multiple champions were left out for the first time. Meanwhile, when there was an odd number of available champions for the 2026 edition, CMLL simply adjusted the specific rules of the match type to allow for everyone's inclusion.

In addition to the listed champions, CMLL offered a spot to the IWGP Heavyweight Championship on two occasions as an explanation to include Hiroshi Tanahashi. Lesser championships have been used as explanations for injury replacements. Okumura used the Arena Coliseo Tag Team Champion to fill in for Diamante Azul in 2013. Diamante Azul used the Occidente Heavyweight Championship in 2017 when Atlantis suffered a knee injury.

The weeks/months prior to the tournament frequently see title changes to shape the field for the tournament, both in getting the right people in and ending up at the right number. Winning the tournament is considered a major achievement in CMLL. The Universal tournament was moved to the August/September time frame after its first year until 2014, resettled on a regular April placement post-Covid as to coincide the final with the annual Arena Mexico Anniversary Show, and has frequently been used as a springboard for CMLL Anniversario matches.

  2. Mistico was not included despite holding the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship. There was no explanation why, nor one when he was added to the tournament later on.
  3. Rey Bucanero held the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship, but lost it to Ephesto. Ephesto took his spot in the tournament.

Peste Negra retained, and it remained unclear if one of the challengers would taken Niebla's spot in the tournament had he lost.

Euforia also held the CMLL World Trios Championship. No reason was given for his exclusion. CMLL has an unpublicized policy not allowing sons and fathers to be on opposite sides of matches, which may have led to CMLL choosing to decide to include Soberano Jr. over his father.

The Mexican National Heavyweight Championship was reactivated in 2018. This was the first edition where the championship was included.

This is also the first edition where the Mexican National Lightweight Championship may have been considered. The reigning champion, Electrico, moved from the mini division to the main division in 2018. However, the championship has not been defended or even mentioned much in CMLL since the move.

2026

This year's tournament reverted to the 2024 format and once again spanned 4 weeks, starting on April 3rd & ending April 24th. All matches took place in Arena Mexico.

Historic Championships

The Historic Championship block took place first, on April 3.

Wrestler Championship
Máscara Dorada NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship
Flip Gordon NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship
Averno NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship

This block winner was determined by a single three-way match, this time single-fall instead (reflecting CMLL's move away from elimination rules in February 2026). Máscara Dorada won by pinning Averno in 14:31.

CMLL Championships

The CMLL Championship block took place first, on April 10.

Wrestler Championship
Hechicero CMLL World Heavyweight Championship
Mistico CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship

CMLL World Trios Championship

Templario CMLL World Middleweight Championship
Stigma CMLL World Lightweight Championship
Angel de Oro CMLL World Tag Team Championship
Niebla Roja CMLL World Tag Team Championship
Neon CMLL World Trios Championship

Welterweight Champion Titan broke his foot shortly before the tournament, so did not compete. Trios Champion Máscara Dorada was entitled to a spot, but had already advanced the previous week.

Although wrestled largely like a cibernetico, it was nominatively a 7-way elimination match, so tags & batting order were not strictly necessary.

Eliminated Eliminator Time
Stigma Hechicero
Niebla Roja Templario
Templario Mistico
Neon Angel de Oro
Mistico Angel de Oro
Angel de Oro Hechicero 39:49
