Volador Jr. was pulled from last night’s CMLL event at Arena Mexico due to a positive COVID-19 test. The lucha-libre star was set to team with Panterita del Ring Jr. in a tag match against Gran Guerrero & Raider.
The promotion later announced that they had replaced Volador Jr. with Mistico. The full announcement can be seen below.
