Notes: Técnicos put Dragon Lee in charge? Has no one learned anything? Dragon Lee, Metatron, Apocalipsis, this has some bad potential. Referee is Bestia Negra.

1: Hooligan and Dragon Lee start, and it's going okay until Dragon Lee messes up a trip. Jumping snap mare by Dragon Lee ends their exchange. Hombre Bala in next, but Apocalipsis and Rayo Tapatío play with tags, and so we end up with Metatron and Apocalipsis instead. Apocalipsis dominates with armdrags, battling pins on the mat, and not much of interest before they tag. Rayo is caught by surprise by Hombre Bala coming in again, but the rudos just start the beatdown. Rudos hold Bala in the center of the ring for Rayo to trip up his mask, and then untie it. Triple boot sends him out. Corner clotheslines for Metatron, and Hooligan lands the running low blow dropkick. Hooligan Clash on Dragon Lee! Bala attacks the rudos, even though the fall is actually over. It doesn't go well for him.

2: Rudos mess up a double press slam with Metatron, and then flip him back first into Hooligan's feet. That's not good. Dragon Lee comes in while they're still setting up Hombre Bala, and gets sent back out. Back in for a big front suplex. Metatron whipped and kicked around. Rayo sucker Hombre Bala into an attack from behind. Apocalipsis tosses Dragon Lee into a headscissors on Hooligan, which actually goes well, then Apocalipsis goes for an elbow drop on Dragon lee, and Dragon Lee doesn't roll out of the way until after he's been hit. He's not good! Metatron quebradora on Apocalipsis, Rayo charges him, is flipped to the apron, grabs a hold OF Metatron there, and Hooligan rush over to accidentally kick his partner of the apron. Bala topes Rayo, catching himself on the ropes on the way thru, but making it there. Metatron takes down Hooligan for Dragon Lee's springboard elbow drop. Standing shooting star press serves no purpose, so he'll add one of those. Metatron tries a complex sequence to get the other rudo, and Bala and Dragon chase Rayo around the exterior of the ring.

3: Metatron sends Apocalipsis out with an over the back armdrag as the show picks up the match. Dragon Lee gives Hooligan a headscissors that only Hooligan could make look good. Dragon Lee improbably knocks down Hooligan with a jumping elbow smash. Enziguri is not quite on target. Walk up the ropes 'rana sends Hooligan out. Bala ambushes Rayo with a dropkick in the corner, they get crossed up running the ropes, try again, and evasion leads to a Bala headscissors. Rayo strikes him down with a big slap. Whip, reversed, Rayo grabs the ropes, Bala flipped to the apron but slapping from there, springboard flip armdrag, and a dropkick sends Rayo out. Other rudos kicked down Bala, Metatron ducks a double clothesline, barely pulls for a rebound armdrag. Dragon else in with him – tope and tope con giro. Bala and Rayo in, Bala springboard, Rayo pulls the mask, Ref missed it, Rayo covers up Bala and covers - one two – Bestia Negra realizes the mask is off and stops counting. DQ. Rayo gives up the argument quick and parades around with the extra mask.

Notes: This is one of those days where Averno is using his music. Rudos have attacked técnicos when the match picked up, with Averno going after Mascara on the outside while the other two clear up the ring. Tigre Hispano is referee.

1: Guerreros clear out the two to hold La Mascara for an Averno kick. Time to untie the mask. No one's logged as many minutes standing on the middle rope and untying a mask as Averno has the last five years. He's quick at it when he wants to be, like right now. Sombra gets the senton de la muerte. Averno drags Máscara to the center of the ring, and finishes him. One foot pin!

2: Rudos still in control, working over the other two técnicos before getting back to Mascara. Averno 'borrows' a drink and tosses it right in Mascara's face. Rebound hiptoss starts everything going wrong, as if often does. Mascara ends up with a tope on Averno (as also often happens lately), and the other four wrap things up. Averno hides halfway out of the building to get away from Mascara.

3: Sombra is midway thru his run when the show picks up. I'm not sure if the match is as short as it seems, or if they're cutting out a chunk to fit in a lot of Ras de Lona clips. UG slows Sombra down with a back elbow, but Sombra comes back to flip off his chest and gets a front headscissors to send UG out. Dorada & Atlantis, pairs champs, are next, with Dorada quickly shedding the rudo with a Running headscissors. Double bounce into a casadora armdrag sends Averno out. Ultimo Guerrero is again last for his team, and stares at the crowd before starting. UG running the ropes takes many steps, but spinning Dorada out with a shoulderblock. Whip, clothesline misses, springboard into a headscissors sends UG out. Dive fake pose. Averno and Mascara in, but Atlantis forearms Mascara down from behind to help out. Averno poses over a job well done. UG comes in to help Atlantis. Whip, Mascara kicks UG away, flips over him, Atlantis grabs him and shoves Máscara back, Mascara pushes off of Guerrero into a headscissors on Atlantis, Guerrero misses the senton and Mascara gets him with a headscissors too. Averno in, but Mascara ready for him. Shirt off. Averno freaking out a bit. Averno clothesline misses, Máscara corner whip, Averno charges, Averno puts him on the top rope, Máscara blocks the punch, Máscara gets him with a headscissors. Mascara off the ropes, back with a spinning armdrag. Averno out, ducking down on Mascara's charge. Máscara slides out after him, gets tossed to the apron, but loudly kicks Averno there. Silla off the apron – but Averno catches him and rams him into post back first. Técnicos rush in, but are lifted directly into Atlantidas. That's it!
