The tournament featured 15 professional wrestling matches under single elimination rules, which means that wrestlers were eliminated when they lose a match. There were no specific storylines that build to the tournament, rather it was a replacement for CMLL's annual Leyenda de Plata that CMLL last held in 2008. All male "non-regional" CMLL Champions at the time of the tournament were involved in the tournament with the exception of the reigning CMLL World Mini-Estrella and Mexican National Lightweight Champions. CMLL promoted championships such as the regional CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship or the Occidente championships promoted in Guadalajara, Jalisco were not included in the tournament, only titles that have been defended in CMLL's main venue Arena Mexico were included. The tournament was divided into two qualifying blocks, which took place on the June 5, 2009 Super Viernes and the June 12, 2009 Super Viernes while the finals was the main event of the June 19, 2009 Super Viernes.
Block A competed on the June 5, 2009 Super Viernes with the winner advancing to the finals on June 19, 2009. Champions in the first round were.[1][2][3]
Block B competed on the June 12, 2009 Super Viernes with the winner advancing to the finals on June 19, 2009. Champions in the first round were.[4][5][6]
The finals was contested under "best two out of three falls" rules and was the main event of the June 19, 2009 Super Viernes show. Último Guerrero defeated El Texano Jr. two falls to one to become the first ever Universal Champion.[7][8][9]
