Robbie Eagles made use of the NJPW partnership with CMLL to reach early for the International Gran Prix on August 19. Eagles figured on settling on up some gold during his pass from side to side by way of tough Dragon Rojo Jr. for the CMLL Global Middleweight Championship.

Eagles was once as soon as backed by way of Guerrero Maya Jr., while Dragon Rojo had Dark Magic for fortify. For the top, Eagles was once as soon as cheated from victory.

Dragon Rojo’s title reign stands at 134 days and counting.
