Homenaje a Dos Leyendas (2017) (Spanish for "Homage to Two Legends") was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event, scripted and produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; "World Wrestling Council"). The Dos Leyendas show took place on March 17, 2017 in CMLL's main venue, Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico. The event was to honor and remember CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth, who died in March 1987. Starting in 1999 CMLL honored not just their founder during the show, but also a second lucha libre legend, making it their version of a Hall of Fame event. For the 2017 show CMLL commemorated the life and career of Arturo Díaz Mendoza, better known under the ring name Villano III.[2] This was the 19th March show held under the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas name, having previously been known as Homenaje a Salvador Lutteroth from 1996 to 1998.

The main event of the show was a Lucha de Apuestas, or bet match, where Diamante Azul defeated Pierroth, forcing Pierroth to unmask after the loss and state his birth name, Arturo Muñoz Sánchez. The Sky Team (Místico, Valiente and Volador Jr) successfully defend the CMLL World Trios Championship against Los Hijos del Infierno (Luciferno and Mephisto) and Hechicero. Último Guerrero successfully defended the NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship against Matt Taven in the fourth match of the night.
