Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 16:12
Rating: bleh
Notes: Referee is Terror Chino. La Comandante is out with Terrible.

1: Pairs are Mascara Dorada/Ephesto, Fantasma/Terrible, Triton/Averno. Dorada & Ephesto pull off a triple reversed whip. Terrible & Fantasma's quick pins leads to Fantasma shoving Terrible, and Terrible slapping Fantasma in the face. Fantasma rips off his shirt and tries to chop fight with Terrible. That does not go well, especially when Terrible just slaps him in the face again. Fantasma comes back with a kick to the chest and an enzugiri, and Terrible wants out of there. Rudos claim a foul, and Terror Chino points to the back of his head. Averno soaks in his chants before slapping Triton in the face. Triton slaps back. Whip leads to flipping run, leads to Triton running up the ropes – and slapping off, and then doing the armdrag. That mask is cursed. Handspring dive fake is not well received – but then Triton walks back, runs and lands the tope con giro. Everyone is totally caught by surprise, camera people the most. Técnicos wrap it up immediately.

2: Fantasma gets a headscissors-rific showcase on all four rudos. Add Magadan to the list of people who still call her “la Nazi.” Terrible slaps Comandante by mistake, but, after the ring is all cleared out, Fantasma checks on Comandante, stands her up, and slaps her again. That's not cool! I hope Comandante kicks you very hard later. Rudos console her. Dorada appears to have died his hair to match his gold gear. He beaks out the inside springboard to headscissors Averno out, chases him out, and kicks Comandante. The técnicos really have it out for her today. Triton is suckered into an attack from behind before he gets going, and the beatdown starts there. Fantasma argues with Terror Chino for a long time before Terrible finally runs over and hits the técnico. Averno flapjacks Dorada, but does not kick him as loudly as Mephisto does. Fantasma charges Averno while the rudos are playing with Triton, but the rudos catch up to him. Comandante bites Fantasma's fingers and Averno uses a testicular claw on Triton. Dorada manages to put Averno on the top rope somehow, but Averno just hits him and pulled him into a Super Devil's Wings. He's the captain, so that's it.

3: Rudos now beating up the técnicos outside. Averno goes for Triton's mask for a moment, then finds a new illegal way to stretch him around the ropes. Averno blatantly fouls Dorada, but the ref isn't looking that way and it's not a finish so they ignore it. Averno goes slide Dorada around by his eye holes. Rudos let Triton try to hit each of them before they all stomp him down. They’re a bit too casual, so Fantasma slips in and cradles Terrible for two. Partners make the save. Rudos totally disorganize here. Just as Magadan is saying “ground and pound” (???) Fantasma escape a double hiptoss and Averno and Terrible chop out Ephesto. Everyone takes out everyone. Dorada tope on Terrible. Other four in, rudo rammed in each other, boost dropkick take a moment to set up, and then misses. Guess it should. Ephesto lifts up Fantasma and holds him for the simultaneous finish, but Averno can't (or won't?) lift up Triton, eventually deciding to sneak a foul kick instead. That was bizarre. One two three.

JCR hypes the main event over footage of it, except they forget to roll the footage.

Notes: Referee is Tiger Hispano

1: Maya and Panther are clearly joined in progress, but they get some time. Maya puts Panther in the Villano Cradle, and Blue should just punch him in the face for trying that. He's seen enough of that hold. Maya gets to an armbar and hands it over to Atlantis. Atlantis keeps the armbar, in various fashions, including pumping it over his shoulder, until he speeds up things. Monkey flip backfires, Panther landing on his feet and giving Atlantis a quebradora. Tag to Rush, who sizes up his spot and dropkicks Atlantis. Rush runs the ropes while Atlantis just keeps on missing moves, Rush finally smashing him with his elbow. Follow up senton misses. Tag to Delta, who springboard splashes Rush on the way in. Two count. Delta dropkicks Rush, but runs into a powerslam. Off the ropes running dropkick is loud. Tag to Metro, in with a big clothesline. Metro takes a moment to scream at Atlantis. Chop. Whip, clothesline misses, giant armdrag works. Delta doesn't want to get up, so Metro pretty much hops in place. Metro monkey flips Delta – I'm not sure if Delta was meant to land on his feet or not, but he did not. Metro waits for Delta to get up, baseball sides behind him, waistlock Delta, lifts Delta off the ground, turns around, and kills him with a German suplex. Metro is a scary dude. Panther and Rush charge the two other two, and finish them off.

Doctor checks on Delta. Delta is responsive for a dead man. Replay shows Delta's left ankle twisted at a bad angle on the monkey flip landing. It's not just the German suplex that's dangerous!

2: Rush and Metro are going after Atlantis' mask. Looks like Team Panther is going rudo. Panther runs Maya straight into the post. JCR talks about Metro and Rush being BFFs out of the ring. Delta's brought in for chops, so he must be reasonably okay. Atlantis and Maya reach in to help from outside, so Panther's team walks out and destroys them both. Crowd getting into booing team Rush. Panther holds Atlantis in the corner for a while, waiting for something. Metro beats up Delta on the outside. Panther whip, Atlantis reverses, quebradora con giro. Rush and Metro are outside, so Panther has no help - Atlantis casadora cradle, they’re done. Metro notices too late. Rush never notices, and keeps on choking Maya on the floor until Atlantis breaks it up.

3: Team Atlantis now Running the ring. Panther is cornered and twisted by all three. Delta bites the boot. Rush arrives to make the save, and Delta holds the leg so Atlantis can get in a kick. Delta knocks Rush down with his best chop ever. Panther manages to escape Maya and whip Atlantis in the corner. Maya and Delta are now kept in their corner by the ref. Metro lands a corner clothesline on Atlantis. Rush goes for one of his own, but Delta and Maya pull him down. Delta springboard on Metro, Maya out with a tope to take him out. Atlantis sends Rush out, and Delta crushes him with a tope. Panther and Atlantis in. Panther looks for a handshake, won’t get it. Chop. Whip, reversed, Atlantis clothesline misses, Panther plancha, one two NO. Atlantis dropkicks Panther out, Atlantis tope sends Panther up the aisle. Maya in, missing a dropkick ON rush and Metro. Rush slaps Maya in the corner, and whips him to Metro for a huge belly to belly suplex. Delta tries to come in, but is kicked. Metro kicks Delta, whips him to Rush, and Rush fireman's drop him. Double stomp. Rush and Metro go up (!!) - senton con giros miss. Maya puts Metro in a hold while Delta sets up Rush. Moonsaults connects, three count.
