Rising Star Johnnie Robbie Joins CMLL, Aiming for Global Success

Since the start of 2026, Johnnie Robbie has become a formidable presence in women’s professional wrestling. Her manager, Michael Ceraso, confirmed her signing with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) to OutKick Dropkick. Robbie had already competed in several matches with the company and now calls it her permanent home.

“I want the world to see I’m no longer a wrestler in purgatory,” Robbie stated to OutKick Dropkick. “I moved to Mexico to improve my wrestling. Initially, I wasn’t getting matches, but persistence turned a few opportunities into many. They recognized my work ethic and potential.”

Robbie, originally from California, began appearing for CMLL in 2023 and has significantly engaged with the promotion since. In recent weeks, she has competed against wrestlers like Persephone, Candela, Keyra, and others.

“I joined a global promotion that believes in me,” Robbie added. “Wherever I go, I want to prove that CMLL made the right choice. I’m prepared to face champions like Persephone and beyond. Whether in Japan, AEW, or Ring of Honor, I will compete. I’ll wrestle with Skadi, Olympia, and Athena. I aim to challenge them all and prove my worth.”

Robbie shared insights on her wrestling journey, recalling her start as a referee before receiving formal training. She discussed her distinctive style, stating, “I have a quick temper and get comfortable when I’m leading. My style is scrappy, drawing from my upbringing.” Her unique approach reflects her Chicano background, evident in her ring performances.

With her entry into the CMLL roster, Robbie is set to make an impact. She will also compete at West Coast Pro in San Francisco, challenging Mio Momono for the women’s championship.
