What happened:

Forastero pulled Diamante Azul’s mask for a DQ, seemingly the start of a feud. Diamante Azul was pulled from matches before they could follow up.

Thoughts:

played off as accidental but I dunno

This wasn’t much of a main event on a show that wasn’t much of a show. Most of the time was spent on a Forastero/Diamante Azul that wouldn’t end up going anywhere. Forastero was good as an irritant. Something is obviously not right with Diamante Azul based on his physique, but it wasn’t absolutely clear what that was and it was no different than had been for the last couple of matches. Maybe that mystery will be solved at some point. Your time would be better used figuring that out than watching anything from this show.

Maya/Luciferno was a simple move exchange and never deeper. It was interesting to see Luciferno show different offense than usual and it was nice the match wasn’t ended early after Maya’s mask came off. This still was nothing special, with the surprise cradle finish the only creative moment of the match.

The rudos in the tercera all had matching outfits, which had to be some sort of accident. Fuego has lost a lot of his in match personality, or at least shows it off a lot less often. Rey Cometa seemed off in the last few minutes of his match, maybe picked up an injury.
