AYM streamed the IWRG show online, didn’t tell anyone. It’s there still, on a one camera shot.

I feel a high percentage of my role is to tell identify which title is on the line when CMLL and IWRG set up feuds. Cerbero & Trauma II appear to be heading to an IWRG Welterweight title match.

CMLL in Puebla is week 2 of a feud. We don’t know which one. Caristico, Gran Guerrero, and Ultimo Guerrero face Flyer, Mistico, and Volador in a rematch of last week’s match. It appeared to end when Mistico got a little too enthusiastic at ripping at Mistico’s feud. That could be the singles match being set up, as they were obviously feuding thru the match, though it’d be odd to go right back to it again after four months. The DQ came too soon to really get a sense of how good the match would be. It is a Puebla trios match, so it’s never going to be great.

The rest of the show is random trios. Hechicero, Mr. Niebla, and Shocker take on Niebla Roja, Soberano, and Stuka. Olimpico has his second match this month, which makes it a busy month for him in 2018, teaming with Templario & Universo 2000 Jr. versus Esfinge, Triton, and Guerrero Maya. The opening two matches has a minis focused match and the usual locals. It’s a 9pm start time show, airing on CMLL’s YouTube channel.

Blue Panther Jr. says he was told to rest by the doctor after last Friday’s misadventure.

All In announced Bandido, Fenix and Rey Mysterio versus the Young Bucks and Kota Ibushi. That leaves Penta without a match. Okada Omega is also without a match, so that’s the popular speculation. There are other people yet to be book for the show, so it’s not a certainty yet.

+LuchaTV has a sit-down interview with Hechicero.

A show so unremarakble that I only realized I didn’t put it here when Super Astro Jr. mentioned the show on Twitter. It’s remarkable that it’s not remarkable – the ROH guys are in on this day but working for Pura Raza instead of CMLL.
