1) Electro Boy b Vampiro Metálico II
listed in results as Vampiro Metalico II, unsure if it’s meant to be a new one or the same guy who’s been listed as Vampiro Metalico until now.
2) Alfa & Omega b Fulgor I & Fulgor II
3) Astro Rey Jr., Diva Salvaje, Látigo b Araña de Plata, Picudo Jr., Zurdog
Latigo replaced Chico Che.
4) Apolo Estrada Jr., Oficial 911, Spartan b Centvrión, Dr. Cerebro, Golden Magic [lumberjack]
Centurion replaced Dragon Celestial. Golden Magic & Apolo were the first ones to fall outside the ring and get strapped. Eventually, the six guys in the match just decided to all attack the lumberjacks! This caused chaos, and 911 used that to unmasked Golden Magic, beat him and get the win. 911 handcuffed Magic to the ropes after the match.
5) Alan Extreme, Relámpago, Veneno b Danny Casas, Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan
Karate chop to Hijo de Pirata for the win.
