2025

This year expanded the tournament from four schools to six. A Queretaro team was added, and the “Comarca Lagunera” regional team was split into the two major cities in the area: Torreon, Coahuila, and Gomez Palacio, Durango. The teams were also lowered to 5 members each, and the format was changed to allow for three semifinals and a 3-way 5v5v5 final.

CMLL held the tumbler draw for the team seedings on the February 12 CMLL Informa. On the same show, they announced that Angel Azteca Jr. (Gomez Palacio) and Turbo (Torreon) did not pass medical testing and thus would not participate. CMLL did not book in alternates, which put the Laguna teams at a disadvantage.

Turbo was medically disqualified from competing for Team Torreon, making the match a 5-on-4 handicap.

2026

This year's format was drastically revamped (presumably to accommodate a far higher percentage of Mexico City trainees that year). It was instead a single-elimination tag team tournament, featured 12 teams who had been paired up based on their individual trainer. Each team also wore matching armbands of different colors.
