Willow Nightingale Becomes CMLL World Women’s Champion At NJPW x CMLL FantasticaMania
Willow Nightingale has added another big accolade to her uprising career.
In a turn of events at NJPW x CMLL FantasticaMania, Willow Nightingale emerged triumphant in a thrilling Triple Threat match against Viva Van and Lluvia to capture the prestigious CMLL World Women’s Championship. The title had been unexpectedly vacated due to Stephanie Vaquer’s departure from CMLL last week, with Willow replacing her in the match in short notice. Nightingale’s victory marks a historic milestone as she becomes the first ever afro-american champion in the history of CMLL.
The stage was set for a fierce battle as Nightingale, Van, and Lluvia clashed in a high-stakes encounter. With the title on the line, each competitor brought their A-game, showcasing their skills and determination. In a decisive moment, Nightingale executed a devastating Doctor Bomb on Viva Van, securing the pinfall victory that granted her the CMLL Women’s Championship. After the match, she left some comments about her historic victory at FantasticaMania.
This triumph adds to Nightingale’s growing list of accolades, as it marks her third major championship win in the past 14 months. Previously, she had enjoyed brief reigns as the Inaugural NJPW Strong Women’s Champion and the TBS Champion. Additionally, Nightingale had also claimed victory in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament in 2023. However, her bid for a back-to-back win in the tournament was thwarted by Mariah May in this year’s edition.
Despite being an active member of the AEW roster, Nightingale’s participation in CMLL, NJPW, and other promotions such as STARDOM highlights her versatility and commitment to showcasing her talents on a global scale. With Nightingale’s historic championship win, CMLL enters a new era with a groundbreaking champion at the front.
As Nightingale embraces her newfound title reign, wrestling fans worldwide celebrate her achievement and eagerly anticipate the exciting matchups and challenges that lie ahead for the trailblazing CMLL Women’s Champion.
