Willow Nightingale wins vacant CMLL Women’s title at Fantastica Mania

Just a few days after she was unable to secure her second straight Owen Hart Foundation tournament win on AEW Dynamite, Willow Nightingale can call herself a champion as she now holds the CMLL Women’s title. Nightingale defeated Viva Van and Lluvia in a three-way at Saturday’s CMLL x NJPW Fantastica Mania to take the crown by pinning Van. The match was made possible by Stephanie Vaquer’s abrupt signing with WWE this past week which made the title vacant. It’s Nightingale’s third major title in the last 14 months as she had brief runs with the NJPW Strong Women’s title and the TBS title. She also won the aforementioned 2023 Owen Cup, but lost to Mariah May in this year’s edition. Nightingale appeared for CMLL on three events this past March in trios matches. Vaquer’s reign lasted 285 days, following long reigns from Princess Sugehit (1027 days), Marcela (704 days), and Dalys la Caribena (983 days) among many others. Source
