The CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship (Campeonato Mundial de Peso Semicompleto del CMLL in Spanish) is a professional wrestling world light heavyweight championship promoted by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) since 1991. As it is a professional wrestling championship, it is not won via legitimate competition; it is instead won via a scripted ending to a match or on occasion awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline. The official definition of the light heavyweight division in Mexico is between 92kg (203lb) and 97kg (214lb), but the weight limits are not always strictly adhered to. Because CMLL puts more emphasis on the lower weight classes, this division is traditionally considered more important than the heavyweight division, which is considered the most important championship by most promotions outside Mexico. The current champion is Místico, who is in his first reign. He defeated MJF in a Title vs. Mask match at the CMLL 92nd Anniversary Show on September 19, 2025. He is the 20th overall champion and the 18th wrestler to officially hold the championship. The title has been vacated twice since its creation in 1991, and has had one unofficial reign.

In the United States, Mexican Coca-Cola, or Mexican Coke (Spanish: Coca Cola de Vidrio, transl.Glass Coca-Cola or Coca-Cola in a glass bottle) or, informally, "Mexicoke", refers to Coca-Cola produced in and imported from Mexico. The Mexican formula that is exported into the U.S. is sweetened with white sugar instead of the high-fructose corn syrup used in the American formula since the early 1980s. Some tasters have said that Mexican Coca-Cola tastes better, while other blind tasting tests reported no differences in flavor. (Full article...)
