La Catalina is leaving CMLL after growing frustrated with where she was being used on recent shows, according to a post on the promotion’s official X account on April 7, 2026. The post said a member of the women’s roster had departed on April 1, 2026, and later reports identified that wrestler as Catalina.
Her exit comes after a stretch in which she had faced Mercedes Mone at Fantastica Mania and then drifted lower on CMLL cards in 2026. Catalina had been booked as a minor player, and the shift in her placement appears to have pushed her to the point of announcing that she would not renew her CMLL contract.
Catalina said there would be nothing left for her in the promotion and nothing she wanted to do moving forward. That line fits the frustration around her recent positioning, especially after she had once held the CMLL Universal Amazons Championship and was featured more prominently before the downturn in her role.

BodySlam+ reported that Catalina’s unhappiness stems in part from the growing presence of AEW’s women’s division in CMLL. CMLL has working relationships with Stardom, NJPW and AEW, but not every talent has benefited from that arrangement. Catalina’s case shows how a wider talent pipeline can also squeeze out wrestlers who expected a bigger place on the show.
The Chilean wrestler’s next stop is still unconfirmed, though BodySlam noted she could be eyeing a place in WWE-owned AAA in Mexico. That would bring her back to a familiar orbit: Catalina wrestled for WWE from 2019 to 2021 under the name Carolina, teamed with Sin Cara in a debut against Andrade and Zelina Vega on Monday Night Raw, and later faced NXT talents including Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, Xia Li and Sarray. She left WWE in 2021 mostly because her visa was expiring.

Her last CMLL match to date came on March 31, 2026 at Arena Coliseo during CMLL Martes De Glamour. If the exit is now formal, the bigger question is not whether she wanted out — she has made that plain — but where a wrestler with her track record fits next in Mexico’s crowded women’s scene.
