Notes: Panther and Negro are showing fighting on their way to the ring, and are fighting when they joint he match proper. Referee is Pompin.

1: Brawling does not seem to be going well for Panther, but it does give him an opening to catch Negro in the Fujiwara. Misterioso rushes into break that up, and it's right to the beatdown. Negro kicks Panther's face repeatedly while the other rudos take care of Sagrado. No idea where Black Warrior might be. Corner charges for Panther, except Volador just wanders over and superkicks him. Volador has a new look this week – with his black shirt and black and blue pants, he doesn't really look like Volador besides the mask. Volador tracks Warrior down on the outside and knocks him around. Warrior brought in and Negro holds Warrior in the ropes, for the guillotine legdrop. Negro leaves to kick Panther around on the outside. DDT on the ramp! Stomps and such. Misterioso puts Sagrado in a kneebar to finish the fall, taking his time to let go.

2: Beatdown continues. Misterioso and Volador – isn't it nice to see them back together! - stomp down Sagrado for a while. Rudos lazily whip panther and put their heads down far too soon – Misterioso and Negro take faceslams. Sagrado springboard in to headscissors out Volador, and Warrior add the tope, though it seemed almost too short. Other two are quickly wrapped up. Not much of a match so far.

Panther chases Negro up the ramp, knocks him down, and body slams him there.

3: Back to Negro and Panther brawling. Panther gets the better of it quick enough to set up a tapatía, but Misterioso breaks that up and dropkicks Panther in his head. Panther kicks out. Warrior comes into argue while Misterioso chops Panther. Panther turns around a whip, Misterioso sets him on top, Panther kicks the chopping hand and headscissors him out. Volador in with a rana on Panther that neither of them can quite complete. Looks like there might have been a clip before it. Warrior breaks up the hold anyway. Their back and forth ends with Warrior jumping heel kicking Volador off the apron. Casas and Warrior exchange chops, Negro yells something, Warrior gets a while kick in. Kick battle goes Negro's way, but Sagrado breaks up the casita attempt. Negro staggers around for a bit, and Sagrado just lets him stagger. Negro back in control with more kicks, but Sagrado manages to send him out with a flying armdrag. Misterioso in, rolling thru a sunset flip to kick Sagrado in the back of the head. Rope bounce armdrag sends Misterioso out, and Sagrado flips Panther into a pescado on him. Volador in, Sagrado blocks the up and over sunset flip, Volador ducks a clothesline, frontcracker, Sagrado staggers around, backcracker. Casual pin for the one two three. Negro and Warrior have an odd standoff, Warrior charges with a kick, Negro grabs it, smashes his knee on the mat, and puts on a Dragon Sleeper for the win. Eh.

Notes: Zacarias is with the rudos, Monito with the técnicos. Referee is Bestia Negra

1: Nakamura looks eight foot tall with Porky. But they do Lockup. Nakamura walks Porky into the ropes twice, and Porky is sad. Rush chops him to fire him up. Lockup, Porky waistlock, Nakamura teases reversing and finally does, and Porky hiptosses him. Running stomach knocks Nakamura out. Rush and Ultimo Guerrero in. Crowd cheers – for UG. UG bails quickly, and Rush chases after him. This goes nowhere. Niebla and Máximo fool around. Niebla complains that Máximo isn't being serious enough! After Máximo teases a kiss in the test of strength, Niebla slaps him down. Máximo sends Niebla way with the kip up armdrag. Circle , Zacarias gooses Máximo and Niebla slaps him in the face. Nakamura pats Zacarias on the head as he steps out, which is just amusing. Niebla with a spinning back elbow for Máximo, slap for Rush, chop for Porky. How is this rudo team not killing this técnico team? It's not an equal battle. Yet, Máximo armdrag Niebla out. UG in to get Máximo, but steps out so Rush can come back in. UG will go with it this time, unhappily. UG off the ropes, over, clothesline. Chop. Chop. Whip, clothesline misses, and Rush throws him with a belly to belly suplex. Dropkick sends UG out. Rush cleans his boots near the ropes, of the ropes, Niebla rushes in but only maybe brushes Rush with the toe of his boot. Maybe. Rush holds up at the ropes, turns around to kicks Niebla down, and runs again – tope con giro lands. Niebla looks like he's quite lost, but chops Porky as he comes in. Slap, bodyslam, one two three. Nakamura flips Máximo on back suplex, and adds a less scary Bom-Ye for the fall.

After replays, UG is carrying Monito around on his shoulder. UG sets him down and kicks him.

2: Senton de la Muerte on Máximo. Rush kicked and then thrown around by his hair repeatedly. Corner charges on Porky, including Nakamura kicking him in the face. They're very concerned about showing his moves from the front or side, it's always from the back to hide the impact. Rush sidesteps Niebla charges, sidesteps Nakamura, and superkicks UG out to start the charge. Father and son do sits for the pin.

3: Niebla gets to be the guy running at Porky repeatedly while Porky stands in the middle of the ring and lifts an arm. Nakamura gets Máximo, and is not happy. Creepy pose off! That was weird. Whip, Nakamura misses a punch, Máximo fakes him out, double jump armdrag sends Nakamura out. Niebla in. Máximo very scared of Niebla as always, and Niebla slaps him around and pulls down the strap repeatedly. Blocked punches lead to the Niebla/Máximo poses and kiss. Porky leads the fans in making fun of Niebla for kissing his son. Kind of weird. Ultimo Guerrero and Rush back in. Rush misses a dropkick. Chop. Corner whip, reversed, Rush charges in, UG flips him to the apron, Rush slaps his back. Top rope dropkick knocks over UG. Rush grabs the mask, but the ref pulls Rush out. UG sneaks in a kick. Corner whip, charge in, no one home, UG takes the knee bump to the floor. Rush runs for a dive, and this time Niebla properly cuts him off with a dropkick. Máximo in, headscissors for Niebla to send him out. Máximo runs, tope takes them both out. Nakamura jumps to the apron, out Máximo trips him off. Máximo garbs both rudos, and Porky dives off the apron onto everyone. Rush in, Ultimo in. Crowd not really into it at first, but they do react enough to get them interested. UG charges, Rush back suplex, senton one two three.

Rush makes the title challenge.
