Notes: New ring announcer? Euforia & Pólvora enter together, which means we're denied Polvora's entrance group but reminded he's actually still in the Cancerbero group and not just wearing their gear. Rey Escorpion tries wearing his Scorpion helmet to the ring this time. Referee is Terror Chino.
1: Escorpion knocks Warrior out of the ring just before the whistle. Fox Sports shows everything but their fight. A lot of people stalling waiting for Warrior to recover. It's nearly a minute and half before things get started out the match actually starts. Pairs are Stuka/Euforia, Angel de Oro/Pólvora, and Warrior/Escorpion. The second bit can't get started right away, because Warrior storms in to chase Escorpion around, and Escorpion retreats to the stairs.

Stuka rolls in and his chopped, rudos chop Oro too, whip, Stuka waves Oro into a flip on the ropes, ducks the rudos, and gets – tripped into a dropkick on Oro. That was probably not Stuka's plan.

Rating: good
Notes: Mr. Niebla has the old Strong Man opening added to his music, I guess because he's the Hulk today? Felino has a newspaper hat. Champions have their belts and Monito. Ref is Babe Richard. Someone's messed up in the Fox Sports studios, because a Red “03A0C905” on a white background replaces the usual Fox Sports logo in the upper left. Maya has new blue gear, combining his partner's colors.
1: Dragon is still not a fan of these técnicos. Pairs are Maya/Felino, Delta/Negro, and Atlantis/Niebla. The first two are evenly match but overshadowed by Niebla falling off the apron. Dragon Rojo blames it on Zacarias. Negro soaks in his chant before starting. Lots of quick headscissors reveals, and Negro kicks to the back. Delta comes back with chops and sends Negro out with a clothesline. Niebla is all over Atlantis with clubbing blows and headbutts, then throws him into the rudo cover for the brothers to attack/ Delta and Maya try to make the save, fail, and the beatdown is on. Negro unties Maya's mask. Felino dumps Delta in position for a Niebla splash, realizes Niebla is actually on the ramp messing with Atlantis, and dumps Delta again when Niebla is ready. Negro finishes Maya with a move he doesn't normally do, and Niebla flattens Monito with a legdrop. Zach walks over to get in a stomp, but Atlantis stops anymore.

Felino wipes his backside with Maya's face. Triple boot for Atlantis. Delta knocked around, and negro even makes a show of trying a pin before pulling him back up. Negro tries to tie Maya to the ropes by his mask string, but Niebla and Felino hit him to move him around a but and Negro can't quite get it. Niebla slaps Maya around and does his pose. Maya ducks a Negro clothesline and dropkicks out a posing Niebla. Quebradoras on the others. Atlantis topes Niebla, and the other two finish the Casas brothers. Delta starts as if he's going to do the reinera, then flips Felino over his back into an Anaconda Vice.
Monito gets Zach with a revenge dropkick, and the punches him about the head a bit. Técnicos have to pull Monito off.
3: Negro doesn't want to face Maya, so Felino comes in. Felino wants a handshake, but Maya doesn't want that. Felino gets him with a dropkick to the knee instead. Felino shoves Maya into the corner and slaps him in the chest hard. Felino licks his finger, and adds another. Felino yells at the crowd, tires another, and Maya slips out.
