Throughout CMLL’s white hot 2025, there were very few negatives to be found within the lucha libre powerhouse. But while things have run smoothly through the first two months of 2026, this week will see CMLL face their first setback, one caused not by the promotion itself, but by a scary situation currently surrounding all of Mexico.Suspensión de la función del Martes 24 de Febrero en la Arena Coliseo de Guadalajara.#MartesDeGlamourCMLL pic.twitter.com/eVx1UjAkG3

Since then, members of CJNG have led a campaign of violence in Jalisco, setting up roadblocks, destroying vehicles, and attacking members of the Mexican National Guard, which has so far resulted in several deaths. In response, Jalisco governor Pablo Lemus Navarro closed schools throughout the state on Monday, and other events, including lucha shows on Sunday, were postponed as well.

The violence has extended outside of Jalisco, with a LigaMX soccer game in Queretaro being canceled as a result, while a highway connecting Mexico City to Puebla was shut down. As of now, however, Tuesday’s Guadalajara show is the only CMLL event to be canceled, with Monday’s show in Arena Puebla, and CMLL’s upcoming Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday shows in Arena Mexico and Arena Coliseo in Mexico City all expected to take place.
