Bernardo interviews LuFisto. She says she's happy to be in tournaments, but she hates Mexico – traffic, the food, everything. LuFisto says Cinthia is a veteran, and but so she is, and Bernardo actually pulls the microphone away from LuFisto before she's done. She's not happy, and threatens to beat up everyone starting with Cinthia.

Match 1: Cinthia Moreno vs LuFisto in a AAA's Reina de Reinas Tournament semifinal match
Arena Neza, 03/01/2013
Winner: LuFisto
Match Time: 9:35
Rating: okay
Notes: LuFisto has her unexplained doll, though the doll's name is announced. Copetes is referee. Three people loudly chant for her, which is better than I would've figured. Lights are up for the start of the match, making the arena look even emptier.
LuFisto rushes Cinthia and hits her with forearms and punches. Kicks come dangerously close to hitting Cinthia – they figure out change the angle after a few of them. LuFisto stops to scream. Cinthia off the ropes, sort of pushed up, and dropkicking LuFisto anyway. Dropkick again. Cinthia climbs to the top rope, missile dropkick nails LuFisto. One two NO. LuFisto grabs her nose – she mentioned later that she broke it. Welcome back to Mexico. Cinthia misses a corner charge, and LuFisto punches her and forearms her. Choke on the ropes. Corner whip, reversed, Cinthia corner back elbow to LuFisto. Cinthia backs up and yells, then runs in and is tripped into the corner. Standing surfboard around the ropes so certain parts of Cinthia anatomy can jut out towards the camera. LuFisto switches to kicking and bragging. Slam, and nerve pinch. LuFisto lets go for a diving clothesline and a two count. Forearm battle, won by LuFisto. Slap battle, turning into a face slap battle. Back to stretching Cinthia around the ropes, and then carefully stepping on the ropes to lightly boot Cinthia in the head. Sound has gotten unsynced with the video, at least on my video. LuFisto covers for a couple two counts. LuFisto kicks around Cinthia, places her in the corner, forearms her a few times, Cinthia fights back a little bit, and LuFisto gives her a hair pulling frontcracker. Running dropkick to the face is not much to the face. LuFisto poses, to a mild reaction. Two count. Russian legsweep, LuFisto up top, top rope splash misses. Cinthia stomps LuFisto in the head, clotheslines her a couple times, and pulls of a corner headscissors. Sunset flip, around into the farmer's roll. Around one and three fourths times, one two NO. Copetes wasn't counting three under any circumstance, which the crowd picked up on, but LuFisto did get his shoulder up. Cinthia shoves LuFisto out, and about kills her with a high silla. LuFisto back in, Cinthia up top, plancha one two no. Copetes again stopped counting before LuFisto kicked out. He's not doing her any favors. LuFisto to the middle rope, Cinthia slaps her and pulls her off, in what starts to be a valagueza but just falls backwards for a suplex. Cinthia up top, double stomp one two NO. Crowd reacts strongly to that one. Cinthia is pulling a Triton here, constant pants adjusting. LuFisto moves out away from a charge, forearms her down, corner senton, running kick to the face. Rosa suplex, one two three.
LuFisto says she said she would win, and did – who's next. Cinthia is grabbing her neck and helped to the back by the doctor.

Arena Neza, 03/01/2013
Winner: Fabi Apache
Match Time: 6:57
Rating: good
Notes: Lights are out now. Referee is Piero.
Faby takes it down to the mat right away, and Sexy is able to keep up with her. Sexi armdrags Faby away, and Faby blows her up with a dropkick. Sexy appears to have “[?????] AND VIOLENT” tattooed on her back. The top part is obscured by her top, and seems to have too many letters to be “Sexy”. Fabi rolls into a takedown, and Sexy dropkick her behind. Sexy with kicks to the inside of the leg and hair toss. Running kick to the head. Sexy takes something off her hand – fake nail? - and tosses it away. Stomp on Faby, but Faby gets up and kicks. Lady turns around whip for a corner clothesline, stands on bottom rope for a kick, and adds a running boot to the head. Knee to the head. Light kneelift. Whip, Faby grabs the ropes, and Sexy charges into a quebradora. Sexy rolls out and stalls on the outside, grabbing her back, fixing her kneepads and then just killing time until Piero gets close to twenty. Fabi picks that time to towards Piero, and Sexy runs her over with a kick. Corner whip, and Sexy runs into a hard kick to the face. Whips lead to reversal leads to a Sexy Lady kick that mostly goes over Faby's head, but she goes down otherwise. Sexy grabs Faby from behind, Faby falls down, Sexy kicks her. Faby gets right up, grabs Sexy, and cradle suplexes her for two. Faby goes for the Devil's Wings, Sexy slip out, off the ropes, headscissors into a backcracker. That's kind of her move! One two NO. I don't know that Sexy actually has a move. Whoops, she just ran into the armscissors, that's kind of her move. Sexy spins and reaches and finally gets a foot on the ropes. Faby's annoyed, but declares the end. Sexy lady won't get up, so Faby knees her in the head repeatedly. Faby to the apron, up top, Sexy pulls her off for an crucifix powerbomb. That's Tiffany's move! One two NO. Sexy Lady looks to be hurting, but keeps going – northern lights suplex one two NO. Sexy off the ropes, but captured in the armscisosors again, and this time Fabi rolls it. Sexy's nowhere near the ropes, and she gives this time.
Fabi is angry about something, and rips off her forearm covers. She gets her arms raised, takes a moment to pause, poses, and looks to take off by Bernardo stops her for an interview. Faby gives Sexy Lady credit and basically tries to end the interview as quick as possible. Looks like people threw a few coins in.

Match 3: Pentagón Jr. vs Aerostar and Último Gladiador and Juventud Guerrera in AAA FUSION semifinal match
Arena Neza, 03/01/2013
double STF on Ultimo Gladiador (10:26)
Winner: Juventud Guerrera
Match Time: 13:12
Rating: good
Notes: No entrances, but in-ring introductions. Referee is Piero.
Free for all to start, with the rudos being sent out. Aerostar wastes no time getting the springboard reverse tope in, and Juvi does a pescado. There's no room at ringside, it's good Aero didn't go far. Aero and Juvi make it back in. They have a friendly conversation, Juvi offers a handshake, and kicks and chops Aerostar. Counters and reversal back and forth until they get a standoff, and get dropkicked by the rudos. Well, Aero does, UG can't get close to Juvi because Copetes is blocking his path, so Aero just falls onto Juvi to knock him down. Rudos clear out Juvi, and briefly argue before coming together to beat up Aerostar. Aero is sort of press slammed into a front cracker. Inverted atomic drop, dropkick to the knee, casadora splash – the last one doesn't seem to go as well as they want. UG keeps going,out to the apron and back in with a springboard legdrop. Pentagon cover,s and Gladiador pulls him off for – I don't know. Pentagon is confused by the whole thing, argues with UG, and then just kicks him. Dunno how much your chops are going to do to a leather breastplate, but keep trying. Pentagon pulls off a Volador Spiral; not as snapped off, but still effective. Aero breaks it up because – I dunno. We've got two dumb guys, can we get all four? UG out, Aero and Pentagon's turn to do spots. Aero avoid a corner charge, flips off the top rope escape, and pulls of a double rotation headscissors. Pentagon out, Aero runs, Brillo saluting plancha. That looked good. Juvi and UG in, Juvi slips in a reverse stunner for two. Juvi forearms UG in the back and tries for a German suplex, can't get it, reversal, Juvi blocks a cradle into a arm submission, Pentagon breaks it up for no reason. We've got three guys hurting themselves by breaking up pins, Juvi's the only sane one. Disturbing. Aero comes back in, but is caught in half nelson pumphandle powerbomb. Jose calls it something like “Hieracon Driver”, which I don't know but is probably right. UG breaks up a pin, which Jose also points out. Straight piledriver by Ultimo Gladiador, which is not called anything. Pentagon rolls out so Juvi can get in his kicks on Gladiador. Big knockout kick, but Pentagon Jr. – completely fine after taking a piledriver seconds ago – breaks up the pin. Pentagon kicks Juvi around, but UG wipes him out with a jumping forearm. UG grabs Juvi from outside the ring and brings him back in to hit him instead of trying to finish off Pentagon Junior. Aerostar watches from the floor, while Pentagon goes to the corner. Uvi pause to take off his shirt and he and UG has a chop battle. Juvi's right shoulder – the recently thru in – looks like it had been taped but the tape is falling off. UG hangs Juvi in the ropes, UG climbs the ropes, Pentagon Jr. climbs the ropes, and Aerostar climbs the ropes! Aerostar gets Ultimo Gladiador with a 'rana, Pentagon Jr. takes Juvi down with a flying double stomp, both cover, both stop covering to fight instead because they don't understand how this match works. Pentagon unzips Aero and chops him one. Pentagon wisely has no zipper. Aero flips Pentagon to the apron, Aero off the ropes, sunset flip powerbomb, Pentagon blocks it, but Aero throws him into the barricade form the mat. Not as dangerous as it looked at first, but still not fun. UG and Juvi exchange forearms, Juvi full nelson, Aero in to dropkick UG but gets Juvi by mistake. UG slams both técnicos, laying them next to each other, and heads out. Up top, frog splashes gets no one. Aero and Juvi waits for UG to get up, double flapjack, double crab! UG is close to the ropes, can't quite get them, and the técnicos switch to a double STF! That's cute. Gladiador actually gives too!
Pentagon decides to lurk out of view, so the técnicos are left to fight. Aero up to Juvi's shoulders, and off into a but double knee gutbuster form Juvi. Juvi tries to get the crowd to make noise, but they aren't really making much noise. Juvi up top, but Pentagon Jr. decides to catch him. Double underhook package piledriver on Aerostar, one two three. Aerostar is done.
Juvi gets back to his feet, waits for Pentagon Jr. to stop taunting the crowd – crowd that's chanting is actually chanting for Pentagon – and missile dropkick, dropkicks Pentagon. Juvi Driver! One two NO. The doctor is checking on Aero, and he should. Aero picks up Pentagon, Pentagon small package, one two NO. Pentagon Sling Blade, one two NO. Juvi slips free from Pentagon, cradle Juvi Driver one two three. Wow, I was expecting the Go 2 Sleep variant. This was sudden.
Aerostar needs help to get to the back. They can call that move a martinete now. A fired Juvi says he won, he's going to win the title, and it's he his world class, not el Consejo. Doctors check on Pentagon Jr. too, he's got either chest or back pain, and he's strechered out.
Replays, and then a Rey de Reyes graphic for the final. Announcers wrap it up, then we get the Rey de Reyes style video package for the final, with Daga & Crazy Boy voiceovers.
