This past Friday’s CMLL Super Viernes show in Mexico City, Mexico featured Soberano Jr. being noticeably absent from the show. This quickly led to online speculation of Soberano Jr. had left CMLL to join Lucha Libre AAA and could be making his AAA debut at Saturday’s Rey de Reyes 2026 event. In a recent interview with La Tijera Lucha Libre, Soberano Jr. denied the rumors of him leaving CMLL and gave his reasons why he missed CMLL’s show. Soberano Jr. stated “The truth is that if I get to the Arena Mexico. I still couldn’t acclimatize. My first matches were in the north of the country, others on the coast. Yesterday when I arrived at the Mexican arena, I didn’t feel at all. The service chose not to go up to fight. Today I had a check-up with the medical service again, everything went well and it was possible to show up in Mexico City. Firm to be in my house, the Arena Mexico. I’m not going anywhere, there’s no company other than CMLL. Here I remain firm, don’t invent things, don’t invent gossip. Soberano Jr. remains firm in his house in the Arena Mexico and soon that house will have a face and it is that of Soberano Jr.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
