Summary

Lady Frost looked back on her time in CMLL and described it as a turning point that came at a difficult stretch in her career.

Before her AEW and ROH run, Frost worked for CMLL in late 2022, mainly in multi-woman tag matches. She said that first tour helped reset her mindset, and she later built on it across five tours with the promotion. During that stretch, she competed in the Grand Prix tournament and won the Tag Copa alongside Dalys.

Frost also said the experience showed her how to adapt to different styles, something that still shapes how she approaches new opportunities. That outlook lines up with the way she has talked about making the most of each stop in her career, including her move toward MLW after her upcoming debut was set in motion.

Quote from Lady Frost

"That happened before Ring of Honor and AEW. It was right at the end of TNA. I was like, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know if I want to be done.’ I was so just disheartened. That was on my bucket list. I went there and I just had the ‘don’t give a shit’ attitude, right? I was all in black. I didn’t want to be looked at as a character almost, which is wild. I love character work, but I just wanted to be a wrestler. I wanted to show out and you really don’t get an option when 30,000 people are cheering for you. Their booking decision came from the first night. I did five shows in six days and by the end of that tour, they had pushed me right to the end. I did the Grand Prix tournament. I actually won the Tag Copa with Dalys at the time and that had nothing to do with anyone else. That was just I went there to show out, be a worker. I had five great tours there and then ironically, when I was with AEW, they partnered with CMLL and I had only gone over one time representing them. It’s very separate, which seems wild because those two are working brands."

Frost later went on to say:

"I think there’s something to gain from every different wrestler. You just have to pull whatever strengths that you can meld together. I think that’s one of my attributes as a wrestler. I have such range of different styles. If it is a tag team, it’s just AEW, you’re thrown into a situation and you have to make the best of it. I think every step of the way of my career, I’ve just tried to make the best of it. Although I do feel at this point, it’s not make the best of it. It’s give everything that I have and MLW seems to want to run with that. They like what I have to offer. They’ve been following me and I think it’s going to be represented in a much better way."

Lady Frost and MLW both gain from that CMLL experience

Lady Frost tied her CMLL run directly to the confidence she carries into MLW, and that matters because she pointed to those tours as proof that she can adjust quickly and stand out in unfamiliar settings. Her comments also make the Tag Copa win with Dalys feel like more than a résumé line, it was part of the stretch where she felt CMLL pushed her higher up the card.

That gives MLW a straightforward story to build on. Frost is presenting herself as a wrestler who already learned how to thrive in different promotions, different tags, and different crowds, which fits the kind of flexibility she said has defined her career.
