Arena México
1. Mercurio & Pequeño Olímpico defeat Shockercito & Stukita
Rudos take the first and third falls in a weak opener.
2. Delta, Dragon Lee & Guerrero Maya Jr. defeat Arkángel de la Muerte, Cancerbero & Raziel
The second match was very good and was probably helped by the opener as the tecnicos took the second and third falls. This match was dominated by the tag team work of Delta, Maya Jr., Cancerbero & Raziel and the potential for a feud was evident by the time the third fall started. Raziel took the first fall from Maya Jr. with a Gory Special transitioned into a STO. Delta evened the match with a moonsault on Cancerbero in a short second fall. The third fall was by far the longest and featured lots of sequences between the two teams however it was Arkángel de la Muerte that was planted by the Sacrificio Maya by Maya Jr. for the victory. Los Cancerberos del Infierno attacked Delta & Maya Jr. after the match and issued a challenge for an Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championships match.
3. Goya Kong, Marcela & Princesa Sugehit defeat Amapola, La Seductora & Zeuxis
The tecnicas take the first and third falls in a good match featuring some of the best women wrestlers in México. Marcela captured the first fall with La Tapatía on Seductora and Zeuxis evened the match with the Caballete on Sugehit. The third fall highlighted featured a great sequence between Marcela and Amapola but it was Goya Kong and Zeuxis that stole the match with their sequences. Kong looked very strong as she dominated her smaller opponents, moved extremely well around the ring and sold everything coming at her. Kong would win the deciding fall with a devastating Goya Bomb on Amapola.
4. Máscara Dorada, Valiente & Volador Jr. defeat Ephesto, Hechicero & Mephisto
The matches just kept getting better as the night continued as this one saw the tecnicos win the first and third falls. Volador Jr. set the crowd on fire right out of the gate with his great sequences with all three opponents before dropping Ephesto with the Volador Spiral. Hechicero would use every rudo tactic in the book to help his team control the second fall before using El Conjuro on Valiente. The third fall saw all six men take to the air and the dives came one after another for several minutes, drawing the fans out of their seats. Dorada would find himself in a series of near falls and reversals with Mephisto before using La Magistral cradle for the win.
5. CMLL Middleweight Championship Match: Dragón Rojo Jr. defeats Rey Escorpión
Thanks to a long run as tag partners, these two put on a terrific match that featured counters galore. Neither man could get the advantage in an outrageously long first fall. After escaping Aguijón Venenoso twice, Rojo Jr. couldn’t counter the move a third time and Escorpión finally took the first fall. Escorpión took the match outside of the ring for the second fall but that seemed to backfire when he was whipped over the barricade and into the front row. Rojo Jr. would hit a huge senton from the top turnbuckle to Escorpión standing in the first row of the crowd. Rojo Jr. would toss Escorpión back into the ring and used the Patadas Laguneras to even the match at a fall apiece. The final fall would mostly remain in the ring but still contained a slew of counters, leading to Escorpión becoming frustrated and beginning to tear at Rojo Jr.’s mask. The crowd got behind Rojo Jr. and he eventually countered a shoulder block as Escorpión stood on the apron with a kick that left Rey draped across the second rope. Rojo Jr. used a diving legdrop but Escorpión was able to avoid Dragon and hit him with a springboard spinning heel kick. Escorpión used Aguijón Venenoso once more but Rojo Jr. was able to backdrop Rey and then connect with the Dragon Bomb to retain the CMLL Middleweight Championship.
6. La Máscara, La Sombra & Rush defeat Negro Casas, Shocker & Último Guerrero
The main event had a hard act to follow and they wisely stuck to more of a brawling style with lots going on in and out of the ring to keep the fans interested. Guerrero would help set the stage for a match three days from now by using his Guerrero Special to pin La Sombra for the first fall. Rush would take offense and sought to destroy Guerrero, ripping at his mask and causing Casas and Shocker to attack him mercilessly. The referee had to eventually disqualify the rudos, therefore setting up a third fall. The match became a wild brawl at this point with dives to outside and battles up and down the ramp. La Sombra would surprise Guerrero with the Shadow Driver to take the final fall but Guerrero would attack him as he celebrated on the second turnbuckle. Guerrero ripped his mask off and tossed it into the crowd before being chased back up the ramp by Rush as Máscara helped Sombra cover his face with a towel.
