1: Guerrero and Atlantis start, Guerrero quickly trapping Atlantis in a cross armbreaker and Atlantis barely escaping. More usual leg and arm hold on the mat. Guerrero turns into a cradle for one before they face off and tag out. Místico versus Negro Casas, that's seems vaguely familiar.

Místico battles out to an armdrags, Negro catches him in a headscissors and somewhat releases him to a front facelock. Místico slips free, rolls away, and tags out. Devitt and Dragon Rojo.

Armbar, tag to Negro, tag to Guerrero. Negro in and chopping and heel kicking, I guess UG isn't actually coming in. Whip, Dragon Rojo back elbow to Devitt, and Negro leaves. I don't understand that tag. Whip, corner whip, corner clothesline, Devitt sat down in the corner, and Dragon Rojo lands his low blow dropkick. That seemed much more a low blow than usual. Ultimo Guerrero tags himself in as Dragon Rojo drags Devitt to the corner. (That's the only hint of last week's storyline, and may not have meant that way.) Whip, back elbow, Devitt out, Atlantis in. Atlantis is fired up, until Negro hits him from behind. Corner whip, corner clothesline, back up, charge, senton de la muerte. UG holds himself up a while. Ultimo Guerrero stands waiting for Místico to come in, but the ref wont' let him until Atlantis rolls over for the tag. UG and Místico face off. Lots of boos. Both look at the crowd and each other, as if it's a big thing. Guerrero knocks Místico down with one hard chop. Whip, flapjack. Press lift, and Mistico's tossed face first into the corner. Tag to Negro, who kicks Místico in the chest a few times. Armbar, elbow lock, tag to Dragon Rojo. Rojo goes up, and ax-handles Místico in the back. Místico thrown to the ramp (and landing on his head, pretty much.) Rudos set up, Negro pulls Místico up the apron while kneeing him, then whips him back to the ring to be tossed into Dragon Rojo's missile dropkick. Rojo with a cristo Negro variant (according to Magadan) on Devitt for the fall.
2: Atlantis whipped, UG drop toe hold, Negro elbow drop to the upper back. Negro knocks Atlantis out of the ring. Crowd boos as Místico re-enters. Negro slaps him in the corner, then throws him out to the ramp. Dragon Rojo lands his flying sit. Corner for Atlantis, Dragon Rojo charges in, splash misses, UG clothesline misses, and Atlantis dropkicks Negro.

UG and Casas kicks Devitt down, then trips Atlantis as he comes in. Místico in, boot into a dropkick on Negro. UG takes the knee bump out, rudos collected to the same side.
