Johnnie Robbie’s rise in women’s pro wrestling has picked up pace in 2026. Now, after competing for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) for several months, she has signed with the Mexican promotion, her manager, Michael Ceraso, confirmed Tuesday.
Robbie said she initially came to Mexico hoping to improve as a wrestler, without expecting to be booked for matches. A few opportunities gradually became more, she said, as CMLL saw her work ethic and what she could bring to the ring.
The California native has appeared with CMLL since 2023 and made further progress with the company in 2025. In recent weeks, she has faced wrestlers including Persephone, Candela, Keyra, Princesa Sugehit and Alice Crowley.
Robbie said she wants to represent CMLL well and prove the promotion was right to sign her. She also hopes to wrestle in Japan and compete for AEW, Ring of Honor and other promotions connected to CMLL. Among the wrestlers she named as potential opponents were Skadi, Olympia, AZM and Athena.
Before entering the ring, Robbie worked as a referee and later received wrestling training. In an earlier interview, she described her in-ring style as scrappy, shaped in part by her upbringing and Chicano background. She said her quick temper can show during matches, especially when she feels comfortable on top.
Robbie is scheduled to defend her West Coast Pro women’s championship against Mio Momono in San Francisco on Friday night.
