Notes: They may have changed Hijo del Signo's entrance music, but I'm not really sure what his music is. Namajague is the master of the double finger point. Sangre is captain, this team is doomed. Ref is Bestia Negra.

1: Announcers discuss how Sangre Azteca is better as a rudo for the thousandth time. Pairs are Sangre/Okumura, Fuego/Signo, and eventually Pegasso/Namajague. Signo is really into biting Fuego body parts this week. Signo bites Fuego's hand, tags Namajague, Namajague comes in, and takes over biting the hand! They are a great team. Namajague is apparently also the master of the two hand slap. Fuego slaps back, and whips lead to Fuego being flipped to the apron and Pegasso coming in with a tope rope armdrag. Quebradora spot looks odd – I think Namajague hits Pegasso in the head while he's being spun. Okumura and Namajague hit each other by accident for a bit, then everyone awkwardly gets into position. Signo just knocks down Pegasso to get things sorted out. Beatdown. Wheelbarrow bulldog sets up Namajague using the Gedo clutch for the pin. Fuego flips Signo to the apron on a charge, but runs into an Okumura Michinoku Drover, and Signo returns for a top rope splash for three. Sangre Azteca seems confused about how his team lost – or maybe about how he didn't take a pin.

2: As happens of late, the rudos stay in control, but only one stays in and tags are made. Less tag moves, more brawling and holding. Rudos do come together when it comes to beat up Sangre, mostly because Sangre fights back a bit. Pegasso pulls out a headscissors on Namajague to send him out and to start the comeback. Fuego adds on a missile dropkick to Okumura. Signo whips Fuego into the corner, but Fuego puts him on top, and Sangre pulls off the run up the corner headscissors to pull him off. Pegasso adds a top rope splash for one pin, and Fuego's quebrada actually makes decent contact for the other. Sangre powerbombs Namajague, is confused again.

3: Fuego does the dance, Fuego gets knocked down. Okumura crotch chops too for no particular reason. Fuego gets him with a bouncing headscissors and dropkicks him out. Fuego keeps running for a dive, oddly to start a fall, and Signo kicks him as he comes thru the ropes. Signo drops Fuego with his off the shoulder flipping slam for two, then gets cradles going for a submission for a Fuego two. Time killing hold is eventually broken up by a Pegasso springboard armdrag. Rope bounce armdrag, running front flip over a kick, and a casadora armdrag sends Signo out. Pegasso runs for a dive, but Okumura gets in a kick this time. Namajague is very happy. Pegasso fights back, gets clotheslined. Sangre in, flapjack for Okumura, dropkick to the had, Namajague makes the save. Rudos set up Sangre for a boost dropkick on Okumura, though he doesn’t get much boost on it. Namajague runs into a quebradora, and Sangre tosses Pegasso out into a tornillo on Okumura. Sangre bumps Namajague and turn to the corner, but Namajague trips him up, and Sangre tumbles to the mat. Fuego in with a springboard 'rana on Namajague one two three!

Fuego celebrates, but Signo is in – inside cradle, one count, Fuego escapes. Fuego rips Signo over to Sangre, Sangre flips him to the apron, Signo slaps him away and goes up, Sangre counter dropkick, three count. Hey, they won!

Notes: Peste Negra dance in together. Negro is really bald. CMLL really loves the angry German music. Monito is with the técnicos. Tirantes is the referee.

1: Diamante Azul starts with Niebla, and his big show off move of the match are these bodyscissors tosses from the mat. They get a little lost when Diamante goes for the giant armdrag, but Niebla works it out and they slap each other instead. Quebradora con giro ends it. Sombra and Negro have a spirited slap battle that actually goes Sombra's way, but then Negro grabs the ropes and Sombra's dropkicking air. Sombra pays him back with a slip behind clothesline on a whip. Negro boots Sombra on a corner charge, then walks out into a powerslam. That was a really good exchange. Negro rolls out, and Sombra slingshots after him. Negro doesn’t have far to back up, so he just points Sombra away, then attacks with a kick so he can get posted and end it. Atlantis and Felino don't last long, Atlantis dropkicking Felino out. Atlantis calls out his tag partner, Niebla, and Niebla slaps him right out. Niebla leaves, and they’re back to Sombra versus Negro. That doesn’t last long before Sombra tries for his toss into a German suplex. It doesn't seem like Negro knows what he's intended to do here, so it ends up as a bridging electric chair suplex instead. Niebla leaps backward into Diamante Azul's big German suplex, but the fall is over with Negro pinned and Tirantes won't count.

2: Sombra and Negro hit each other hard with forearm before switching to kneelifts. Negro gets in a sleeper and chest kick. Sombra ducks the next one, Negro still chest kicks him in the ropes, Sombra kicks him better. Kick caught, and Sombra pulls out a dragon screw! Negro has had enough. Felino runs while holding Sombra for a bit, and they sort of get it sorted out for a rebound armdrag. Push off headscissors clears out Niebla. Sombra takes one last look at the rudos – at Zack? - and then tags out. Diamante cranks Negro around in a hammerlock, slamming him once, then tossing him via Northern lights suplex. Felino is able to knock Diamante down, but Diamante stops him with two quebradora and a clothesline. Niebla surprises Diamante with a clothesline. Niebla dance! Spit is caught, mostly. Niebla ducks Diamante until he ducks and uppercuts Niebla into the corner. Zach comes in, then dances right back out – too soon, I guess. Diamante rolling corner senton, and Niebla is flatten. Zach in again, and Diamante tosses him across the ring. Negro in again, but Atlantis comes in to take his turn. Atlantis takes care of Negro, runs Felino into it him, and takes care of Felino. Niebla slaps Atlantis, then kisses Felino in celebration. Announcers freak. Niebla runs into an Atlantis monkey flip, taking him all the way to the floor. Rudos have gotten nothing in so far, so Sombra doesn’t get far before the rudos have started the beatdown. Corner charges for him. Rudos kick down Diamante, and beat him with a kick to the chest of all things. Atlantis is beat right behind him.

3: Rudo beatdown doesn't last long before Azul flips Negro to the apron on a corner whip and the other técnicos pull him off. Diamante kicks Niebla away, then Sombra springboards into headscissors. Felino runs him off, then waits for something. Diamante starts, tops, and restarts to dropkick him. Not smooth. They're still lost – someone misses their cue and Diamante Azul is totally confused. Niebla walks over and clothesline him to get back on set. Corner whip, Felino flipped and superkicked off the apron, then Diamante leaps to the ramp off a Niebla whip to set up his dive. Sombra dropkicks Niebla, Diamante wipes out Felino with his dive, Sombra works in a top rope moonsault to the floor, and Atlantis finishes Negro with an Atlantida. That was super quick.

Announcers point out a fan of Diamante Azul, who's of course wearing a Blue Demon mask. Good way to end it.
