Volador and Caristico meet once again in Arena Mexico tonight. Last week’s match was Volador playing more of a strong rudo, this week’s championship match probably means it’s more of a traditional Volador big move match. Caristico winning would be a big surprise and a possible sign of big plans for 2018. Volador winnign would be keeping the status quo with nothing much happening, which is much more CMLL.
The other notable match is the fourth, where Negro Casas & Sam Adonis meet two days before their hair versus hair match. Both men are with usual partners, and the finish is whatever they can do to get people to come out for the hair match (especially after they didn’t really come out for the cage match.)
The rest of the card is the usual mix of names. Mistico is listed up there, but Niebla Roja actually will replace him, teaming with Marco & Valiente against the Guerreros & Shocker. Rey Cometa, Angel de Oro and Titan face NGD, the Panthers & Star Jr. face Sagrado, Puma & Tiger, int wo matches that could be pretty good if the effort is there. The show opens with Magia Blanca & Robin taking on Arkangel & Metalico. Magia Blanca’s cousin got announced for a Dragon Gate tour, but wrestling Arkangel & Metalico is nearly as exciting.
The show will air at 8:30pm on Claro and their facebook page. Claro (Marca) says they’ll be airing the both this show, and Monday’s Sin Salida with Negro Casas & Sam Adonis. That Monday show has a 5pm CT start.
The Jackson Observer has a Sam Adonis story, which is probably from some place more famous than the Jackson Observer but not sure from where.
AAA put Guerra de Titanes tickets on sale. No card yet, though they’ve previous announced Wagner vs Mundo for the title with Vampiro as ref. Tickets are listed from 800 pesos down to 150 – or were, the 800 ring 1 tickets have already sold out today.
Segunda Caida really liked Mr. Niebla vs Caifan.

Nothing big being set up but the 4 and 6th matches could be interesting.
My database currently assumes the Nuevo Leon (LLF) Maligna and the one who’s shown up infrequently around Mexico City is the same woman. I’m not sure that’s correct, nor I’m sure if that’s the person debut here, and Maligna is a weird name for a tecnica.
Second match gives you all the Starman/Signo rematching you wanted.
