Notes: Puma joins the announcers for the rest of the show. He's still catching his breath to start. This is the debuts of Dragon Lee, Cachorro (black and white) and Black Panther (black and blue).
Guerrero Negro and Hombre Bala start in the ring, Bala winnings that exchange with a jumping snap mare. Canelo and Stigma are next, Stigma looking tiny against the rudo. Casas throws Stigma to the ropes, but Stigma comes back wit a headscissors to send Stigma into the corner. They go back and forth on the mat until another jumping snap mare sends Canelo out. Herodes and Oro are the next pair. Flipping armdrag to start before they roll on the mat. Oro monkey flips Herodes, Herodes is slow to get up, and Oro tags out. Dragon Lee and Black Panther are the next two. The new Dragon Lee has much bigger legs than the last, but is still pretty thin. They stick to basics and lots of armdrags. Dragon Lee slides out to the wrong side of the ring, and a riot breaks out for a few seconds. It's only a few seconds, things calm back down for Signo and Robin. Robin's dressed up like a Brazo against Misionero de la Muerte, which is probably not a coincidence. They battle to a face off, but Signo still dropkicks Robin out and follows with a tope. That's on the técnicos side, so the técnicos all stomp Signo, and hold off the rudos for a moment. Another brawl, this one a bit longer. Match restarts again with Halcón and Cachorro, completing the sequences. Panther knocks down Halcón with a running axhandle, then dodges a Bala top rope plancha. Stomp to him. Cachorro ties up Bala's arm, Bala squirms free and headscissors him out. Negro in but chopped and dropkicked out by Bala. Halcón in, to do a high five sequence with his buddy, and both run and dive onto the rudos with tornillos. Black Panther and Herodes tease dives, then change their minds and just don't do anything. Match resumes with Canelo and Oro Jr., but they cut away to replay the dives. Oro back inside, Oro headscissors out Herodes, then goes to the top rope – moonsault to the floor. Negro and Robin in, Robin flipping run, wristlock, lots of chops and kicks to set up a run up the ropes headscissors. Robin goes up top, starts to walk to the ropes, falls, goes back in the ring and out with a tope con giro. Match is speeding up. Lee and Cachorro, Lee escapes a trip into a headscissors and dive out with a tope con giro to the técnicos side. Canelo in and shoving down Stigma, but Stigma jumps up and dropkicks him. Stigma running flip over Canelo, then a spinning headscissors that ends very oddly – like a slam, maybe, but not. Stigma rope bounce armdrag to send Canelo out, but Signo kicks him down and easily. Robin back in on Signo, Robin huracanrana one two NO. Signo casadora cradle one two no. That was an unexpected from Signo.
