Guerreras tied both Octagons to the ropes, Octagon came out of his mask, and the Guerreras were called for the DQ. They weren’t happy with that call.
5) Carístico b Máscara Dorada, Atlantis, La Máscara, Rush, Cibernético, Xtreme Tiger, Volador Jr., Diamante Azul, Rey Escorpión [Elite Rumble]
A belt was shown for the winner of next week’s Elite International tournament. Order of entry (new person every minute): Mascara Dorada & Xtreme Tiger started, Rush, Caristico, La Mascara, Diamante Azul, Rey Escorpion, Volador, Cibernetico, Super Crazy, Atlantis. Mascara Dorada was stretchered out after taking Escorpion’s La Roca, but said he was fine later. Volador, Diamante Azul, Caristico and Rey Escorpion were the final four. Volador beat Escorpion, Caristico beat Azul, and Volador beat Caristico with a La Mistica. He will now represent Mexico in next week’s tournament. Volador pointed out Caristico won the Elite Middleweight championship while he was in Japan and unable to fight for it, and wants to be the first challenger for the title. Caristico told Volador to represent Mexico well.
The Rumble might have been better than the last few weeks. Attendance looks up according to the pictures. It could be the Octagon debut, but reports had the crowd being harsh to them. The two shows next week are going to be a big test, with a lot of people who the audience doesn’t know (and Elite hasn’t done much to hype – just names and photos.)
Elite’s flyer for next week’s show listed Hernandez and Justin Gabriel in the tournament. Hernandez already is said not to be in – WWC’s Chicano says he’ll be going. Justin Gabriel is PJ Black’s WWE name, but now he’s Lucha Underground’s PJ Black. Cage wasn’t allowed to work in Elite, and Black wouldn’t be any different. (Dorian Roldan laughed at the idea.) It also lists 14 people for a 16 person tournament.
The most important match on CMLL’s card tonight is Valiente versus Ultimo Guerrero for Guerrero’s NWA Middleweight championship. UG’s recent defense with Stuka was very much his usual style and this figures to be the same, but Valiente getting a rare big singles match should make it fun.
The actual main event is Diamante Azul, Mistico, Volador versus Ephesto, Mephisto and La Mascara, continuing Mascara’s feud against the Munoz family. If Mascara/Pierroth is happening on 07/01, they need to make it clear tonight, which would mean Pierroth getting involved in that match. Same thing in the fourth match: Cavernario & Cometa are on opposite side of a trios match with Marco, Maximo, Niebla and Casas. If they’re doing a hair match in two weeks, it should be obvious tonight. (Next week seems more likely to be focused on the build to the Gran Prix itself.)
The undercard isn’t as dire as some recent shows, though there’s no sure strong matches. Angel de Oro, Guerrero Maya & Stuka Jr. take on Misterioso, Rey Bucanero, and Shocker in an unusual mix of sides. The women’s match is Zeuxis, La Seductora, Reyna Isis vs Estrellita, Princesa Sugehit, and Silueta, which might continue the Zeuxis/Sugehit title program. Opener is Oro & Soberano vs Raizel & Cancerbero.
CMLL’s article on tonight’s show focuses more on the Gran Prix show instead, pointing out people on opposite sides tonight will be partners in that tournament (or, in Marco’s case, be on the opposite side for those shows.)
The show will air as normal on ClaroSports.com at 8:30pm. I’m not going to be around, but I may try record it remotely.
There’s still no lineups for Tuesday’s CMLL shows. They’re going up later occasionally late, but they could be waiting for something to happen tonight.
I’m headed to AAW tonight – they’ve got Aerostar vs AR Fox and Drago vs Chris Hero.
Meanwhile, Flamita debuts tonight in Cleveland for AIW.
Canek explained the only reason his team lost was those 10 minute limits. He feels they were limited to about 70-80% of his capabilities because he was battling the clock instead of opponents. Canek said he does not rule out going to Japan to fight Akebono again, and does not plan on retiring.

Lineups
Cara Lucha (FRI) 06/24/2016 Arena San Juan Pantitlan, Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, Estado de México
1) ? vs ??
2) La Jarochita & La Magnifica vs Keira & Lady Maravilla
3) Centvrión & Látigo vs Mike Segura & Pantera I andFly Star & Toxin and Templario & Wasson
4) Toro Negro II, Toro Negro III, Toro Negro Jr. vs Andy Boy, Danger, Guerrero Mixtico
5) Trauma I & Trauma II vs Puma (CMLL) & Tiger
6) Bandido & Volador Jr. vs Flamita & Fly Warrior
An unusual Friday night show for CaraLucha. Elite’s new wrestler Bandido is in the main event, a mix of a Volador/Flamita rematch with young people getting a shot in the main event.
Semifinal has the Traumas vs the Cats. The Traumas always have lacked a good rival and Puma & Tiger seem like the right people to annoy them. Tercera is Neza Kings versus Toros. Tag match is various factions (and Templario & Wasson, who are not a faction I know of.) Not sure if that’s the Monterrey Magnifica or the Guadalajara Magnifica – it’d be quite the collection of women who worked for AAA but never got booked much if it’s the later.
