CMLL International Gran Prix (2017)

The CMLL International Gran Prix (2017) was a lucha libre, or professional wrestling, tournament produced and scripted by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; "World Wrestling Council" in Spanish) that took place on September 1, 2017 in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico, CMLL's main venue. The 2017 International Gran Prix was the thirteenth time CMLL held an International Gran Prix tournament since 1994. All International Gran Prix tournaments have been a one-night tournament, always as part of CMLL's Friday night CMLL Super Viernes shows. The event was available as an internet pay per view (iPPV) both in and outside of Mexico.

The main event of the show was a sixteen-man torneo cibernetico elimination match, where "Team Mexico" (Valiente, Rush, Volador Jr., Euforia, Dragon Lee, Diamante Azul, Mephisto and Último Guerrero) faced off against "Team International" (Michael Elgin, Marco Corleone, Johnny Idol, Juice Robinson, Sam Adonis, Satoshi Kojima, Matt Taven and Kenny King). As in previous years, the "international" side has consisted of a combination of non-Mexican wrestlers who already worked for CMLL and foreign wrestlers brought in specifically for the tournament.
