Místico Defending CMLL World Light Heavyweight Title Against Soberano Jr. On Final Show Of NJPW x CMLL Fantasticamania Tour
Two title bouts to close the tour.
Korakuen Hall in Tokyo will host the final two shows of NJPW x CMLL Fantasticamania 2026. There will be a title match on both the February 26th and 27th shows.
On the 26th, Averno will challenge Atlantis Jr. for the CMLL World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship. Headlining the 2/27 show is Místico, putting his CMLL World Light Heavyweight Title on the line against Soberano Jr.
Below is the write-up from NJPW about the bouts:
Fantasticamania comes to an end with a sold-out Korakuen Hall double header February 26 and 27. Both nights will be capped off with highly anticipated singles matches, and after events over the long weekend in Japan, the stakes have been raised for two of those bouts.
Firstly, after Devil’s Wings saw Averno snatch victory over Atlantis Jr. during the Fantasticamania Tag Tournament, the veteran rudo decided to raise the stakes for their bout on Thursday night. Their singles match will now be for the CMLL World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship, a title Averno challenged for unsuccessfully in a three-way earlier in the month in Mexico. Can he seize the gold this time?
Then, in the main event spot of the overall Fantasticamania tour, Friday night is headlined by Soberano Jr. and Mistico now for the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship. Soberano has tried time and again to topple Mistico and take his place as the very top face in lucha libre; while Soberano is driven by victory over the CMLL icon over any championship, and even over Mistico’s mask, the title being on the line Friday will certainly give added motivation and elevate the drama for a stunning main event!
