Jeff Jarrett scored a spot on CMLL’s biggest show of the year, and he did his job well. Jarrett put over the home legend to tap out to Blue Panther at the 93rd Anniversary (Sep. 18, 2026).
Jarrett was in the second match of the night on a card with nine matches. His role was to heat the crowd as a rudo, and he did just that. Prior to the opening bell, Jarrett ignored Blue Panther’s handshake to pose for the crowd. When they showered him with boos, the Last Outlaw flipped the ‘up yours’ gesture. That earned “Culero” (a**hole) chants. Jarrett then kicked away Blue Panther’s hand and attacked him. Double J blew his nose in Blue Panther’s poncho and wiped his butt with the mask. (Blue Panther lost his mask to Villano V at the CMLL 75th Anniversary in 2008, so the mask is just decoration these days.)
Jarrett wrestled his style of match with old school offense for clotheslines, punches, stomps, and a suplex. He even popped a strut. Blue Panther showed fire for a reverse Irish whip to send Jarrett tumbling over the barricade. The 66-year-old lucha libre legend flashed style with a flying crossbody off the entrance ramp.
In the end, the legends exchanged punches. Blue Panther snatched Jarrett’s limb for an armbar. Jarrett tapped out in defeat.
This was the type of match that was ten times better with the rowdy crowd reaction inside Arena Mexico.
