Two of CMLL’s most dynamic luchadores collide in a high-stakes championship encounter that promises to electrify Charleston.
Templario, the reigning MLW World Middleweight Champion, has reigned with unrelenting force—combining raw power, aerial precision, and ruthless cunning to cement himself as a fighting champion – including defending the title in Mexico. A proud warrior of La Puebla, Templario enters Charleston determined to continue his global conquest and solidify his place as the premier middleweight in the sport.
Guerrero Maya Jr. brings more than fifteen years of experience to the ring, combining elegance and effectiveness in his battles. He is celebrated for his signature maneuvers, notably El Sacrificio Maya and El Tope en Reversa, which evoke the hallmarks of lucha libre’s greatest figures. A former holder of the Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship on two occasions and a National Trios Champion alongside Atlantis and Delta, Maya Jr. has forged his own identity balanced between classic style and modern spectacle.
Don Gato promised tequila and title fights, and now it’s all coming to Charleston — with gold and cool times guaranteed.
Who will leave Charleston with the MLW World Middleweight Championship? The warrior of shadows or the guardian of the ancient mask? The world will find out November 20.

MORE ABOUT THE CHARLESTON MUSIC HALL
The Charleston Music Hall, originally built in 1849–50 as The Tower Depot by architect Edward C. Jones, was a striking Gothic Revival passenger station designed to make arriving by train a dramatic experience. Part of a larger railroad complex called the Camden Depot, the building featured Medieval-inspired architecture with turrets, lancet windows, and simulated arrow slots. After a brief stint as a depot, it was acquired by the Charleston Bagging Manufacturing Company in 1878 and repurposed for industrial use until the 1930s, later falling into disrepair. Following decades of vacancy, it was revitalized in 1995 into a premier arts venue, now hosting acclaimed performers and continuing its mission to deliver exceptional musical and theatrical experiences in a setting rich with history.
