Marcela vs Amapola in a lightning match: worked like the first fall of a three fall match up to the dives, and then the set of near falls you usually only get in the last fall. It was a good solid match but the purposefully slow start makes it overall less action packed the one of their normal matches – there were just 4-5 minutes of good middle stuff cut out to make this work in this format. I liked the match but there are plenty of Marcela/Amapola matches I liked a bit more.

Atlantis, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Kráneo, Mr. Águila, Psicosis: another good build up to the title match, with the técnicos totally destroyed and the normally comedic rudos looking like real threats. Even Mije was way toned in this match, with the rudos more focused on beating up the técnicos (or treating them like Octagon.) Kraneo has one new favorite dance and he’ll do it forever.

La Máscara, La Sombra, Marco Corleone vs Euforia, Terrible, Último Guerrero: usual main event match, guys going thru the normal routine in front of crowd that was really receptive to them. They gave them the match they wanted to see.
