What happened:

Sanson fouled Caristico for the DQ, setting up a singles match next week.

Thoughts:

The story of the last year or so of Audaz & Templario’s careers has been Templario’s rise – both in status and in capabilities – while Audaz has been stuck in place. This match told that same story in smaller pieces: Audaz’s big moves all got countered or stopped, and Templario relatively easily took him out. It came off relatively one-sided for these lightning matches, Audaz is going to have to get a lot better to catch up.

I’m not sure what was supposed to happen at the end of the first fall with Grako & Graham, but I’ve never seen Grako so visibly angry about something. It would help if he showed that level of emotion more often. The rest of the match didn’t have a lot going on. Oro Jr. didn’t trip this week, so that’s an improvement. Graham has the better look but Ayden looked more solid in the ring. Neither really stood out.
