Homenaje a Dos Leyendas 2010 (Spanish for "Homage to Two Legends") was an annual professional wrestling major event produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), which took place on March 19, 2010 in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico. The event paid tribute to CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth who is always honored at Dos Leyendas and to Ray Mendoza, the father of Los Villanos (I, II, III, IV and V). The main event was a tag team elimination match with Volador Jr. and La Sombra facing Místico and El Felino. The first two wrestlers eliminated from the match were then be forced to face off in a Lucha de Apuestas match with their masks on the line. The show was La Sombra and El Felino eliminated from the match and La Sombra pinning El Felino to force him to unmask. The show featured a further four matches, all featuring CMLL's traditional Best two out of three falls Six-man tag team match format.
Since 1996 the Mexican wrestling company Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (Spanish for "World Wrestling Council"; CMLL) has held a show in March each year to commemorate the passing of CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth who died in March 1987. For the first three years the show paid homage to Lutteroth himself, from 1999 through 2004 the show paid homage to Lutteroth and El Santo, Mexico's most famous wrestler ever and from 2005 forward the show has paid homage to Lutteroth and a different leyenda ("Legend") each year, celebrating the career and accomplishments of past CMLL stars. Originally billed as Homenaje a Salvador Lutteroth, it has been held under the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to two legends") since 1999 and is the only show outside of CMLL's Anniversary shows that CMLL has presented every year since its inception. All Homenaje a Dos Leyendas shows have been held in Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico which is CMLL's main venue, its "home". Traditionally CMLL holds their major events on Friday Nights, which means the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas shows replace their regularly scheduled Super Viernes show. The 2010 show was the 15th overall Homenaje a Dos Leyendas show.
