This according to CMLL’s Blog – they (the doctors, not the blog) performed surgery on his bicep, so it sounds like it ws a muscle issue rather than a bone one, and will take longer to heal. 3 months means he’ll be gone till November.
Wagner/Niebla on September 276th, right? Perhaps other things before or after, but that’s gotta be the match.
(September 27th is stuck in my head from something else, sorry.)

Perro Aguayo Jr. fractured his left arm in the main event. It’s said to be at the bicep, and he’s going to be operated on this morning. He would probably miss the Anniversary show if it’s a compound fracture, but no one’s that specific yet.
As the main event finishes were laid out, it did not seem like they were doing a hard sell for Mistico/Perro. Both falls focused on Wagner/Niebla, back to caring about fighting each other again. Wagner got his side DQed for yanking Niebla’s mask in the first fall, and Niebla got away with yanking Wagner’s mask in the second. After the match, Niebla talked about getting a shot at the UWA Heavyweight Title.
Of note, both teams generally played it straight during the match, which meant Mistico & Hector Garza fought. Perro tried to get La Mistica on Mistico, but Mistico broke free and tried to martinete Perro. Hector made the save. After the match, Perro, Wagner and Hector (hard to tell) attacked Mistico.
The undercard matches played out as presumed. Semimain was all about V5/Panther. Villano got his team DQed when he broke Panther’s mask. Panther demanded a mask match after, and Villano 5 accepted. I’d have more faith in this meaning something if they hadn’t been doing about the same thing for months.
Mictlan got a revenge pin on Dragon Rojo Jr. to win that match, while Lady Apache pinned Amapola with the help of the ropes.
Besides the legends presentation, there was a moment of applause for Alfonso Dantes.
