I can only assume they wanted to put as many gimmick matches as possible on this show to honor Anotnio Pena. And the obviously wanted to get as many people on the card as possible.
They must be trying to amortize the cost of the dome cage by running it so often. Or they’re just doing it to spite me, whatever. (OR! They just don’t want to do any singles main events which aren’t Cibernetico vs Mesias and they’re not doing that for a while.)
The fifth match is a battle royal, with the final two going to pinfall. My wild guess is the mystery guys are names of the past rather than names that are jumping.
There’s 85% chance the mystery guy in the 4th match is Nicho, and a 15% chance it’s someone random (since everyone knows it’ll be Nicho) only for Nicho to come out during the match and join the team anyway. If you care about the Mexican Powers, the Extreme Tiger turn seems even less set up than the Zorro turn. (It hasn’t happened yet, right?)
He’s not really named Mascarita Sagrada 2007, I’m just doing it to separate him from the two ones we already know. I suppose it could be a new one or one of the old ones back in the gimmick – won’t be able to say until he’s on TV, and even that’ll be iffy.
Announced Upcoming Tapings

The card looks ok on paper but the delivery will be the difference maker.
Since this is a Pena memorial show they should make the show look like something Pena did and not some Konnan bullshit that we’ve been subjected to lately.
Good to see that Latin Lover will part of this special event.
FWIW, Mascaraita Sagrada 2000 would be the first jump since Peña’s death, kind of surprinsing considering many of us believed that tons of guys would be leaving the company.
Peña memorial made it possible: Latin, Elegido and Intocable in the same card. No buildup to this, and AAAMania is more or less recent, no stip matches, it would look like a hard sell for the crowd, but who knows, maybe Peña DOES have fans.
Only thing that bothers me is crap MP and FT match that high, they were segunda in Verano and now…
In fact AAA raided CMLL talent during the time period. ~EXPLOSIVO!
