Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 14:44
Rating: not as good as expected
Notes: Nosferatu ends with the other rudos as if he's a Cancerbero. Still doesn't have the gear. Gallo has Pollito with him. Técnicos really want to fight the rudos for some offense. Refs are Loco and Samurai.

1: Stuka and Virus get into a chop fight, take it outside, Virus offers to take it back inside and fakes Stuka out. Rudos blocked off Stuka from getting to Virus, so we start with Nosferatu and Metro. I think it's slightly possible that Nosferatu and Apocalipsis are slowly turning into the same person. Shout out to Pepe Casas! Tropicasas is not watching this show. Even if he wasn't in Monterrey for Heroes Inmortales at this moment. Gallo/Euforia keeps it on the mat. I have no idea why the announcers are talking rudo tag teams. Euforia gets in a nice bridging pin, but they don't get anywhere. Stuka and Virus in, but they don't get long before Virus' partners help him out from outside and the beatdown starts there. Stuka helpfully hung upside down for Virus' dropkick. Triple boot for Metro. Gallo takes a double spinebuster and a double crab for the submission. That's the captain, though the referees don’t seem totally confident of that fact. Virus makes them raise his hand, that'll work.

2: Beatdown goes on. Metro takes corner charges and is sent out into Virus' spinning back elbow. Stuka held on the ropes for Virus to practice his body blows on. Whip, Stuka ducks a double clothesline and dropkicks Nosferatu out. The other two temporally hold them, but Stuka comes back – camera can't manage to keep up with him. Virus whiffs on a handspring back elbow (?!?!) and Stuka dropkick him out. Infernales cut him off with boots to prevent a dive, but Metro lands a plancha and both and Gallo wrap things up. I hate no idea where to even start with Gallo's hold.

3: Gallo sequence includes things going fine with Euforia, and Nosferatu missing a senton by actually totally landing on Gallo. Felino was displeased by that one. Big edit on Nosferatu's corner charge spear, though it could be just typical camera work from this show. Virus walks out on Stuka again, so Metro is next. Crowd is chanting for Metro! Giant armdrag for Euforia. Nosferatu cuts him off with an oddly aimed clothesline. Metro gets back to his feet, dropkicks Nosferatu to the corner, and crushes him with the usual rolling backpress. Metro has something weird on his neck; I can't tell if it's an extension of his mask, or if it's a brace, but it looks like the latter. Never seen anyone wrestle in a neck brace before. It's not a big one, but still. Virus comes into face Metro, so Metro brings in Stuka. Virus is unhappy. Virus and Stuka’s big exchange has atypical screwups from both before Stuka finally drops Virus and heads up. Euforia calms walks over and gives Stuka one hand push to the floor. Metro dropkicks Virus out of the ring, Euforia back elbows him, Gallo misses a clothesline, Nosferatu grabs him and shoves him back to Euforia – Infernal Stretch! (“Euforia Special” - no.) Metro breaks it up with a dropkick to Euforia and a superkick to Nosferatu. Rudo both out, técnicos out with topes. Virus and Stuka back in, sunset flip reversals, Stuka clotheslines go a lot better than the last sequence, fireman's drop in the ctner of the ring, Stuka heads up again – far away from Euforia! - torpedo splash one two three. Thanks for coming, Pollito.

Winner: técnicos
Match Time: 13:01
Rating: bleh
Notes: Invasors enter to the Theme From Vipers. Volador with the mostly uncovered bald head for this one. Ref is Edgar Juan Maybe?

1: Garza and Alebrije start on the mat, until Cuije gets involved. Volador has to make the save before the bug gets squashed, but things settle down. Alebrije turns to yell at the crowd, Garza cradles him up, one two kickout, but Cuije had run into break it up too. Cuije scurries back to the rudo corner, Garza stalks after him, and Alebrije rolls up Garza for a two count. Small package has them both down for two. Garza locks in a chinlock, Cuije kicks him, Garza kicks Cuije, Volador axhandles Garza and the rudos rush the técnicos. Dorada he's for Cuije's middle rope swandive headbutt. Alebrije stands in the corner while his friends do the work. For his own sake, Alebrije should be more active. Garza grabs at Cuije from the outside, and Volador has to alert Alebrije to intervene. Cuije gets in a dropkick on Mascara, though Garza goes for him again. Rudos bring in Garza to kick him around. Volador and Cuije go to the far corner, Garza's whipped in, and both rudos boot Garza on the charge. Garza’s held for a Cuije dropkick to the backside. Alebrije presses Cuije into a super low blow headbutt, and everyone covers. Garza manages to kick Cuije away, but can't kick out. Garza keeps trying to go after Cuije after being pinned, but the rudos keep stomping him.

2: Dorada's loudly tossed to the ramp to start the fall. Garza is held in the corner and hit for a while. Camera people get bored, start shooting the crowd. Corner whip, Garza flips out of corner behind the rudos, Alebrije grabs him, his partners chop him by mistake. Mascara a little late for his flaying armdrag. Volador superkicks him, Dorada back in with a floating headscissors, and Máscara topes Volador. Psicosis set up top by Garza, and Dorada lifts up into a 'rana on him. Garza and Dorada a both cover for one pin.

Dorada drops to the mat, so Garza is stuck dealing with Alebrije alone. Backdrop takes care of him. Cuije rushes in and kicks him – Garza picks him, presses Cuije, and tosses him at Alebrije. Alebrije catches and goes down, and Garza & Dorada cover for the fall

3: Dorada walks to the top rope and just stands there for a bit. Walking the ropes – a few steps and back down to the mat. Crowd chanting loud and Garza leading it on. Mascara showcase includes a superkick for Alebrije and a headscissors for Psicosis. Volador comes in for the big standoff and shirt removal. Volador fakes take off his shirt and gets into a chop fight. Felino says Volador is very smart for keeping his shirt on for this. They take it outside, they take inside – but Volador kicks mascara with a kick when he's slow. Volador runs for another, Máscara moves, swing kick connects, top rope armdrag, Volador slides out. Cuije kicks Mascara, gets pun around by his mask and sent out. Garza gets his turn to strip, to loudly kick, to nearly gets his trunks pulled down, and to lay out Volador with quebradoras. Rudos take Cuije off the apron so Garza can't get to him. Dorada showcase is about usual, bout odes give JCR a chance to hype the match he had with Volador that we never got to o see. Dorada rolls Alebrije into a técnicos dropkick to set up end match chaos. Dorada moonsaults Alebrije on the floor, then the other four just kind of stumble over each other in reversals to set up the usual finishes.

Cuije runs away from Garza. And that's it.
