Rising women’s pro wrestling star Johnnie Robbie has become a force to be reckoned with in the ring since the start of 2026 and her efforts have not gone unnoticed.
Robbie is signing with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), her manager, Michael Ceraso, told OutKick Dropkick on Tuesday. She has had multiple matches in the company for several months, but now has a permanent home in which she could showcase her talents.

“I just want the world to know that I’m not a wrestler living in purgatory anymore,” Robbie said in an exclusive statement to OutKick Dropkick. “I came to Mexico to get better at wrestling. I was told I wasn’t going to have any matches. Then that turned into a few, and those few turned into more. They saw my work ethic and what I was capable of.
“I want people to realize that I have always tried to become a better wrestler, just like everyone else. CMLL is where the best train, where the best perform, and I came here to compete with the best. Now that I’ve signed with CMLL, I want people to see who Johnnie Robbie is.”
The California native started making appearances with CMLL in 2023 and continued to make inroads in 2025. But over the last few weeks, she appeared to have focused her attention on the Mexican promotion. She’s competed against the likes of Persephone, Candela, Keyra, Princesa Sugehit, Alice Crowley and several others.
She has more targets in mind as well.
“I found a company that took a leap of faith on me,” Robbie added. “A global promotion that believes in me. And I’m not someone who lets people down or gives up. It doesn’t matter where I go. I want to carry CMLL on my back and show them they signed me for a reason. I want to face champions like Persephone and beyond. Send me to Japan, and I’ll compete there. I’ll compete in AEW and Ring of Honor and any other sister company with CMLL.
“So yeah, I’ll compete with Skadi, Olympia, AZM, Athena, and whoever the hell else. I’m going to keep training and wrestling to work on being the best. And wherever and whoever, I’m going to make sure they question their worth.”
Robbie opened up about her journey to the sport of pro wrestling ahead of her appearances in Las Vegas back in April. She recalled starting out as a referee before getting the proper training that’s required to step in between the ropes.

She also said shed light on how her background is portrayed through her ring gear and her wrestling style.
“I’m here for a good time, and so I’m irked, or I’m p—ed off, and I tend to get p—ed off very easily. I think I tend to show that in-ring,” she said in April. “I have a quick temper and if I’m on top, I kinda get, I don’t want to say cocky, but I get real comfortable,” she said. “I think mostly what you see is someone not as big as everyone else or just be able to take hits and just the way that I move in the ring,
“I think that comes across well in terms of … One of my best friends, Alan Breeze, I go, ‘I don’t know what my style is,’ and he’s like, ‘You’re a little pitbull, you’re a little dog, you’re just like messy.’ Your style is, I think he said, ‘Scrappy.’ I think that comes into play when I’m wrestling. You can see that. Like I said, I pull from the way I was raised by a bunch of, ‘Cholos.’ Just like I said, the Chicano lifestyle. I think you see a lot of that when I’m in the ring.”
Now, the CMLL roster is fully on notice about what Robbie brings to the table.
Robbie is also set for a match at West Coast Pro in San Francisco on Friday night. She will be competing for the women’s championship against Mio Momono.
