Mistico defeated Averno in a Lucha de Apuestas, Mask vs. Hair match to headline CMLL’s 93rd Aniversario event on Friday, September 18, 2026, at Arena Mexico in Mexico City, Mexico. With Mistico’s mask and Averno’s hair on the line, Averno’s loss meant he had to have his hair shaved off following the bout, according to TPWW.
The match capped a show built around a four-way elimination tag match designed to determine a “Final Suicida” participant, per Fightful. That bout saw the team of Mistico and Averno face three other teams: Último Guerrero and Templario, Zandokan Jr. and Star Jr., and Bárbaro Cavernario paired with Dragón Rojo Jr., as confirmed in TPWW’s results coverage of the September 18, 2026 card.
Mask vs. Hair matches carry significant weight in lucha libre tradition, with the losing competitor permanently losing either their mask or, in this case, their hair as a result of the stipulation. Averno’s hair being shaved marks a definitive result in a rivalry that Fightful described as longtime between the two competitors.
CMLL’s 93rd anniversary show at Arena Mexico also featured a trios match opener in which Maika, Mei Seira, and Ema Maishima defeated Sanely, Candela, and Kira via Crucifix Bomb, with the pinfall coming at the 8:40 mark, according to TPWW’s full results report.
