Netflix’s ‘Against the Ropes,’ A Story About Family and Lucha Libre, Premieres on Wednesday
Netflix’s upcoming professional wrestling series “Against the Ropes” (“Contra las cuerdas” in Spanish) premieres on Wednesday. The show is set in Mexico and is originally in Spanish, but it will be available dubbed in English.
“Against the Ropes” begins streaming on Netflix on January 25, 2023.
On YouTube, Netflix Latinoamerica released an official trailer for the series on January 9. The following day, the professional wrestling-giant WWE released an additional trailer for the series. The trailer features lucha libre legend and WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio.
Mysterio tweeted out a teaser of the upcoming series a few days later. Based on the teaser, the WWE and the Mexican luchador appear to be, likely, integral to the show’s story development.
Over the last few years, Netflix has produced multiple original TV shows and movies about or related to professional wrestling.
