El Gran Desafío Femenil – Sin Empate, Sin Indulto (Spanish for "The Great Women's Challenge – No draws, no reprieve") was a major professional wrestling event produced and scripted by the Mexican Lucha libre promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) on October 22, 2009. The event was held in Arena Naucalpan, IWRG's home arena and the venue for the majority of their shows. IWRG used the El Gran Destafío name for a show in 2009 and a third El Gran Destafio in 2011, but none since then.
The main event hosted a rare Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet match", between two female luchadoras or professional wrestlers as Mexican native Flor Metálica wrestled and defeated the Japanese wrestler Atsuko Emoto. Afterward Emoto had all her hair shaved off as a result of the Lucha de Apuestas stipulation. IWRG does not normally promote a lot of women's wrestling matches, and the Lucha de Apuestas between Flor Metálica and Emoto is the only IWRG match of its type on record.
The Mexican lucha libre or professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG; at times referred to as Grupo Internacional Revolución in Mexico) holds almost all of their major wrestling shows in Arena Naucalpan, in Naucalpan, State of Mexico, an arena owned and operated by the Moreno family who also owns and operates IWRG. The most prestigious match type in lucha libre is the Lucha de Apuestas (literally "Bet match") where each competitors "bets" either their wrestling mask or their hair on the outcome of the match. The Lucha de Apuestas format was created in 1940, with the first match of its type held on July 14, 1940 where the unmasked Octavio Gaona defeated the masked El Murciélago Enmascarado ("The Masked Bat"), forcing El Murciélago to unmask. Since then the Luchas de Apuestas match has become more important, more prestigious than championship matches with the Lucha de Apuestas matches normally headlining major lucha libre shows.
