What happened:

Negro Casas snuck in a foul on Caristico for the win and Caristico asked for a singles match next week.

The women’s match ended in a rare double pin draw. Lluvia kicked out Metalica’s senton con giro and attempted to cradle her, only both had their arms pinned. Lluvia and Metalica went after each other’s masks afterward.

Templario’s neck slid on the floor catching a dive. He was attended to by medics at the start of the third fall then returned to the match, though he didn’t look 100% earlier on.

The CMLL Diosas del Ring edecanes worked the show as an Independence Day special, with two dance numbers before the main event.

Thoughts:

This was an actively nothing show. The main event was about 80% chops and slaps. The semi-main was held back by Atlantis, but also Templario got a bit hurt and the third fall derailed. There was nothing much special going on in the other matches, with maybe the women’s match having the best effort of all of them. The only interesting thing was doing a double pin in that match and then bringing it right back in the next one. There were so many top rope splashes. Just go past this one.
