5) La Sombra vs Averno [CMLL Universal, final]
5PM start!
The Summer of Punk Verano de Averno has been stupendous. He lost his mask to La Mascara but still seems to have won the feud. Averno beat Ultimo Guerrero last Friday to take the unofficial title as top rudo in the promotion, and it would be no huge surprise if he won this match too. This is the best final CMLL could do at this time, and I’m very happy they’re doing it.
Tanahashi is gone by this show. They hadn’t announced when he was leaving, but he must be working the end of the NJPW before his title match. That may explain why he didn’t advance to the final.
As promised, Lyger is back and back as a tecnico. Though it’s an odd start. Figure on Atlantis vs Guerrero and Garza vs Volador (again on Friday night!), which means Lyger is facing off against Mr. Aguila?
Or maybe it’ll become Garza/Aguila. They’re the only two who’ve challenged for a hair match who aren’t in the cibernetico, which seems to exist for no reason except to build the yet to be announced match for next week. Toscano hasn’t made a hair match challenge yet…but then he hasn’t been on a Friday show since June 10th.
Garza/Aguila would also mean Lyger vs Volador, which is a frighteningly good justification for Lyger as a tecnico.
5PM start!

presumed Anniversary lineup
6) cage match (or some multiman variation)
5) Guerreros vs Justice
4) something with Volador and Lyger and getting people on the card
3) more getting people on the card
2) women’s match (minis got their own show)
1) getting the Metro/Stukas on the card
maybe swap the last two.
That can’t be right. I read on the ByL forum it’s gonna be Atlantis vs UG in a mask match, Mil Mascaras/Canek/Dos Caras returning to Arena Mexico, 4 different title matches, Bucanero vs Felino in a hair match and Sexy Star making her CMLL debut in the opener!
Clearly Paco Alonso’s wallet was stolen.
I wonder who loses their hair this month since they have to save up another hair loss for 2/3 weeks to counter WWE.
Maybe more CMLL guys should “sign” with the WWE. Worked for Averno.
Hey Cubs, start a new rumor: “Rey Cometa signs with the WWE, leaving October 20.”
Anything with Volador vs Lyger sounds amazing to me!!
@DragonGateFan: I agree. I like that card.
@Rob: And who said I was talking about a “random” female wrestler? She clearly has a name that you know.
Sombra vs. Averno is probably my CMLL dream match right now so I cannot wait to see this. Both of these guys have been on a roll lately, Averno especially.
