Willow Nightingale Explains Why Her CMLL Title Wasn’t Defended at AEW All Out 2024
At AEW All Out, Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander clashed in a brutal Chicago Street Fight, featuring light tubes, thumbtacks, and broken barricades, with Statlander emerging victorious by choking Nightingale with a steel chain. Although the match was initially set to include Nightingale’s CMLL World Women’s Championship, it ended up being a non-title bout. Nightingale recently explained why the title wasn’t on the line during a “Battleground” podcast appearance recorded before All Out.
Nightingale stated, “[CMLL] are not big into the blood and the guts and the hardcore stuff, so they’re not even sanctioning the match.”
Nightingale will next focus on CMLL’s “91. Aniversario” event on September 13, where she will defend her championship against Zeuxis. She reflected on her upcoming return to Arena Mexico, a venue she has grown fond of in recent months.
“The last time I was in Arena Mexico, I felt so much love,” Nightingale said. “I felt an air of ‘regality.’ We don’t have a building like Arena Mexico in the United States, dedicated specifically to professional wrestling and standing for 60 to 70 years.”
Nightingale concluded by expressing her excitement to return to Arena Mexico, noting the passion and love that permeate the venue.
