Wild week coming for Mr. Averno

FRIDAY, in Arena Mexico: Negro Casas & Mistico vs Averno & Mephisto [CMLL TAG]
SUNDAY, in Arena Coliseo: Averno vs the winner of this Sunday’s tournament [CMLL MIDDLE]

My gut feeling is they’re having Averno trade belts – he’ll be a two CMLL title champion for a couple of days, but he’ll drop the middleweight belt to someone else on Sunday. Which leaves two more questions:

1) Which tecnico, of Felino, La Mascara, Sagrado or Mascara Purpura, picks up the middleweight belt? (Don’t think it’ll be a rudo vs rudo match.) You probably can exclude both Mascara’s – Purpura is the low man here, and La Mascara already has a middleweight belt they don’t use (though I’d be fine if Mascara won if it meant one less belt around). Sagrado also has a belt that they don’t use much (Mexico Trios), but I think he’s got a shot here. Felino’s the favorite.

2) Does this mean Mephisto’s losing his belt soon? Does it go to Negro?

We’ll have a clearer idea of all this on Sunday, I think. If Felino wins, there’s no doubt of a title change.

  1. The only thing that stops me from agreeing with you is that next week they are going to debut Mistico’s music video before his match. I would think that would lend itself to making sure he wins and can celebrate as his video plays again to close the show. But that might just be too logical booking for CMLL?

    I actually see it being tecnico vs rudo just like you but Mephisto will be the tecnico and take on one of the foreigners who will be the rudo. I’m just torn between whether it’ll be Koslov or Goto. I figure originally everyone forgot who the champ was and Negro wanted to beat Goto clean so it could air on Japanese TV. I guess I’ll take Mephisto over Koslov since Goto hasn’t been given much of a push since arriving in Mexico.

    *STRONG* lineups this week. Every show looks like it would make for a great TV episode. I really wish they could air four matches b/c I wanna see the top 3 Arena Mexico matches next week. Volador Jr./Ultimo could pull off some crazy stuff working in the tercera by trying stuff they won’t do in the main events since they don’t wanna blow moves at that position on the card.

    GdR and FSE in two weeks will be STACKED for sure!

  2. AWESOME! Their match earlier this year was incredible so I’m not going to hold out hope that the rematch will be even better… just as long as it’s in the same ballpark quality-wise. :)
