Pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo has been making waves during her time in Mexico City, including an unexpected dive into the world of lucha libre. The singer recently attended a lucha libre event from the oldest running promotion in the world, CMLL (Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre), at the iconic Arena Mexico, much to the delight of fans and wrestlers alike.

A Pop Star Meets Lucha Libre

Rodrigo, who was in town for her “GUTS World Tour: Spilled,” took some time off from her busy schedule to experience Mexico’s vibrant wrestling culture firsthand. CMLL, established in 1933, is the oldest professional wrestling promotion in the world and is revered for its high-flying maneuvers and colorful masks. Arena México, often dubbed “The Cathedral of Lucha Libre,” serves as the promotion’s main venue and is a must-visit for wrestling enthusiasts.

Update: Looks like St. Vincent also attended this same show.

The official CMLL Twitter account shared a photo of Rodrigo enjoying the event, captioned:

“We were visited by the talented singer Olivia Rodrigo at Arena México! Thank you for coming to enjoy the best wrestling in the world!”
