The weird atomicos for Sunday’s IWRG show made more sense when the show was revealed to be the annual Guerra del Golfo: two cage matches, with the losers facing off in a mask match…

Lineup via MiLuchaLibre. I know the actual arena was mentioned on AAA TV, will track it down at some point.

Whenever Perro’s not booked for a Perros del Mal match, he ends up running in on the end. Don’t see that changing here.

Dralion didn’t appear for the opener he was scheduled for, and ended up being scheduled for the semimain next time. I suggest he doesn’t show up this time, and see if he can get a title shot out of it.

Presumably the opener is the kid friendly tecnico trio we’ve been told about.
