Notes: Seconds are Metatron and Inquisidor. Referee is Bestia Negra.

1: Someone says the welterweight division is the “lujo” division, take a drink. Mat wrestling to start, dominated by Mascara Dorada. That seems concerning for Pólvora. Pólvora pulls off a forward roll into a backwards roll into a headscissors, so now I'm all confused. Quick roll up for two. Evasion, Pólvora off the ropes, rolling over, waved by, armdrag by Dorada, and calling Pólvora up. Torito, one two three.

2: Evasion leads to Pólvora spinning Dorada out on a shoulderblock. Whip, backdrop. Pólvora ties up the legs, turns it over, sort of a sharpshooter but not really. Don't tell me this is going to be the end of the fall. Nah, Dorada's moving to the ropes, refusing to give to such an ugly hold. Pólvora corner whip, corner clothesline, sat up to, valagueza frontcracker one two t-NO. Corner whip, Pólvora charges, Dorada moves, Pólvora this the post. Dorada jogs up the ramp, sets himself, runs and jumps over the corner of the crowd for a floating headscissors to the floor. Replays. Pólvora makes it back in first. Dorada springboard 'rana dropped into a powerbomb, one two NO. Pólvora circles around, grabs Dorada, cuts his throat, and drops him with a sit down powerbomb one two three.

3: Pólvora misses a charge right off the whistle, and Dorada slaps him down. Dorada is still dizzy from the last fall. Whip, flipping run, (Fuerza M reference), Dorada flipped to the ramp, swing kick knocks Pólvora back, Dorada backs up the ramp, floating headscissors. Pólvora out, Dorada out with a tope con giro, the champ hitting the barricade pretty hard. Replays, and both back in. Dorada ducks a clothesline, casadora cradle, one two NO. Announcers talking about the weight limits; Pólvora just barely makes it. Pólvora dropkicks Mascara Dorada out, climbs up, and lands his plancha to the floor. Replay. Pólvora makes it back in first. Dorada rests on the apron, and puts his shoulder into Polvora's chest. Springboard sunset flip, Pólvora roll thru dropkick, one two NO. Pólvora takes his time, and walks around to look at the crowd. He's doing the Pólvora thing. Crowd making noise, though I can't tell who they're chanting for. Michinoku Driver, Pólvora climbs up slow, senton con giro misses. Dorada covers, still two. Dorada tries to drag Pólvora, then settles for punching him on the mat. Dorada quebrada into Polvora's feet, one two NO. Pólvora picks up Dorada, and slaps him back into the corner. Corner whip, Dorada flips Pólvora to the apron, Pólvora slaps Dorada back, Pólvora yells, Dorada springboard dropkicks him off the ropes. Dorada climbs up top, walks the ropes and moonsaults off! Replay. Referee is counting them both out. Pólvora in first again, Dorada springboard into a dropkick, one two NO. Pólvora walks around, then kicks and forearms Dorada down. Whip, flapjack, caverneria. Not going to work, never works for him. Dorada breaks free, Pólvora lets get and looks at the crowd. Cut his throat. Taking his time. Gori Stretch, Dorada shaking his head no, battling free, Dorada sunset flip one two NO. Pólvora strikes first, dropkick to the knee, casita, no, Dorada breaks free, casita one two NO. Pólvora charges, Dorada waves him by, Dorada charges, Pólvora tosses him onto the middle rope, then pulls him ff for a powerbomb, feet on the ropes one two NO. Metatron as arguing it, but didn't seem like the referee saw the feet on the ropes. Dorada fires up as Pólvora looks around, yells at the crowd and stomps his feet. Dorada headscissors, quebradora, and Dorada signals he's going to flip. Crowd cheers, Dorada jumps on Polvora's shoulders, Inquisidor Storm. One two three.

Dorada sadly gives Pólvora credit for the win, asks for the belt, asks for a mask vs mask match, and presents him the belt.

JCR interviews Pólvora after the match, who has an evil laugh. JCR notes he came all the way from the opening matches in Arena Coliseo to the main events in Arena Mexico (well, not quite here), and Pólvora agreed. Pólvora has no problem with a mask match match – and since he just won, why would he.
