(CMLL) held their first ever Universal Championship tournament featuring 16 champions from the promotion's male division. The tournament became an annually recurring tournament from that point on. During the summer of 2019 CMLL announced that they were introducing a "Universal Amazons Championship" tournament as well, with the idea of it being an annual tournament for the women's division. Like the male counterpart, the winner of the Universal Amazons Championship is given a belt as a trophy, identical to the male belt but with a green leather strap instead of a red. At the time of the first tournament, CMLL only promoted two championships for the women's division, so CMLL was unable to hold an "all champions" tournament, instead opting to give the winner a match for the CMLL World Women's Championship at a later date. The winner would also serve as the flag bearer for Team Mexico at the 2019 International Gran Prix.
