Battle of armdrags to start, Estrellita getting the best of it. Next sequence is even. Lady Apache knocks Estrellita down with a shoulderblock the first time off the ropes. Estrellita pulls her down by the hair and dances the next try. Estrellita trademark loose headscissors sends Apache into the corner. She reverses a corner whip, but Estrellita gives her a climbing armdrag. Apache charges, and Estrellita dumps her to the floor. Estrellita runs, and connects on her tope. Unusual for them to do it on the near side. Replays. Estrellita in first, but Apache pulls her down by her hair. Lady Apache in with a flying sunset flip one two NO. Apache hits Estrellita in the face as she gets up (sort of), runs her corner to corner for clotheslines, and finishes with a bulldog. Elbow drop, scream, elbow drop, one two NO. Apache throws Estrellita around by her hair. Either the clock started early, or they cut out a lot of time of Estrellita and Lady Apache recovering outside the ring. Lady Apache covers with one foot, does not win. Estrellita off the ropes, into a hair takedown. Apache thinks about covering, but stops to pin instead. One two no. Faceslam, one two NO. This has been all Lady Apache for about 3 minutes. Whip, Apache lifts Estrellita up, but Estrellita comes down with a DDT and follows with a dropkick to the head. Estrellita kicks Apache, whip, quick reverse, Apache clothesline misses, Apache springboard planchas misses, Estrellita slow casita escapes, Apache casita is work to get Estrellita over but does so for two. O'Conner roll, one two NO. Both are yelling at the referee now. Estrellita turns a clothesline into a backslide for two. Estrellita with a sort of bodyscissors cradle for two. Estrellita casadora – no, Apache escapes and jumps back at Estrellita with an elbow smash. Apache Devil's Wings! One two NO. That was a slow count for real. Apache smacks Estrellita, hurries to the apron,s top to pose, goes up top, and drops into Estrellita's boot. Star Cross, Apache gives.

Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 12:05
Rating: okay
Notes: Referee is Terror Chino. Monito is with the técnicos.
1: First pair is Euforia & Sombra, and seems edited. Panther and Ephesto are next. The rudos rush in to break up the action when Panther puts on a chinlock, and it takes a while for action to resume. Ephesto looks completely gassed, and he hasn't done that much. Ephesto traps Panther in a ground headscissors, referee stops the técnicos from running in, and Panther headstands to get himself free anyway. Panther puts on a hold, rudos rush in and stomp him a lot. Panther sneaks a tag to Porky, both técnicos whip Ephesto, Ephesto runs into Porky's stomach and Porky splashes him for a sure victory. Rudos break it up again. Corner clotheslines for Porky. Edit? Ephesto blocks a armdrag with a takedown, Sombra rolls thru, and hooks on a submission. Rudos break it up before Sombra's even figured it out. Rudos all come in to whip Sombra, but Sombra goes limb on them. Whip, into a double back elbow, lift for the triple faceslam, but the other rudo than distracted and Sombra rolls up Ephesto. Sombra looses Ephesto, scoots around to put Ephesto back on the mat, and gets the three.
2: Tecnicos try to end Euforia via Porky corner splash. Euforia slide out after, then helpfully rolls back in under the bottom rope so Panther can cover and get it broken up. Ephesto breaks it up, Panther fights him, Euforia sneaks in in an inside cradle, Panther goes for the Yes (or No) Lock, Ephesto prevents the copyright violation from happening. Panther tries to fight the rudos in the wrong and out of it, which goes poorly. Ephesto knocks Panther down in an neutral corner. Corner whip, Panther springboard plancha, but no pin. Panther backs Ephesto into the rudo corner, chops Titan, then does a low kip and over on a charge. Panther rolls Ephesto back, and Sombra get in a missile dropkick. Tiger and Sombra evade, Sombra wins via dropkick. Sombra runs up the corner, but it's the rudo one, and Euforia trips him up into the tree of woe. Tiger immediately takes advantage with a dropkick. Euforia slams Super Porky and almost collapses himself. Tiger adds a senton to send him out. Panther in, and this time the rudo keep it together for a triple powerbomb. Tiger adds a senton one two three.
3: Sombra tries his handspring backflip, and it meets Tiger's dropkick like always. Tiger high gives Euforia in celebration, and they can't decide if that's a tag or not. They both come in (after a repay), but Sombra flips Tiger to he apron, avoids Euforia's charge, and superkicks Ephesto for good measure. Euforia back elbows Sombra to stop that (then does the same to Super Porky for no reason) and taunts the fans. Off the rope evasion leads to a Sombra 'rana. Euforia sends Sombra to the apron, and Sombra springboards back in with a plancha. Sombra drops Euforia in front of the corner, leaps to the top rope and lands his rope flip moonsault (mostly on Euforia's legs.) Rudos rush to break up the pin. Sombra slow up and slower swinging at Ephesto, Ephesto ducks, and Euforia smacks Sombra in the back. Ephesto tags in, smacks Ephesto's right shoulder, then gives him the big shoulderbreaker. Panther and Porky make the save. Panther stays int help with a double team, Sombra sunset flipping Ephesto into a Panther clothesline. Tiger's turn to break up the pin. Panther pumphandle submission, but Tiger breaks it up and puts on his own tirabuzón cradle for two. Whip, reversed, Tiger sunset flip, one two Porky pulls Tiger onto this back and splashes him. Tiger thrown out, Ephesto in. Chop fight is a good idea,t here's a lot of Porky to hit. Dropping down on a whip, very poor idea, lot of Porky to land on you. Porky belly bumps Ephesto out, then crushes him with a plancha off the apron. Other four in, but the rudos get the edge. Corner whip, Sombra is whipped into Panther to knock him from the ring, but Euforia dropkicks Tiger down. Sombra powerslams Euforia, double moonsault lands correctly! One two three. Nudo Lagunero on Tiger to end it.
