1: Máximo does this Máximo stuff with Pólvora. Halcón draws Ephesto (visibly calling spots), and eventually knocks him out of the ring with a missile dropkick.

Kraneo headbutts Atlantis from the outside, then legally tags. Atlantis stumbles away and tags in Maya in the meantime, but the ref won't allow it because Maya is too far form his corner.
