Production

Background

In 1992, then reigning Mexican National Tag Team Champions Los Destructores, left CMLL and doing so taking the championship with them to AAA. [1] [2] The championship was defended in AAA from 1992 until 2007, [3] and subsequently only defended twice more on the independent circuit before becoming dormant. [4] [lower-alpha 1] La Parka, one half of the last recognized championship team, died on January 11, 2020. A couple of weeks later CMLL officially announced that they had regained control of the Mexican National Tag Team Championship and would be holding a tournament for the championship in February and March. [6] During CMLL's February 19 Informa, they announced that the first block of the tournament would take place on the February 28 Super Viernes show. [7]
