Marcela says she prepares hard no matter who she faces and wanted to win for the Arena Mexico fans. She's still willing to take on Blanca – for the title or for their hair.

Rating: ok/good
Notes: Titan has his belt in entrances. The Revolucionarios dancing is always hilarious. Referee is Rafael el Maya.
1: Rey Escorpion tries claiming a foul on a Titan hiptoss. That's a new one. Sombra/Dragon Rojo chop battle turns into a forearm to the face battle. Dragon Rojo seems to get the worst of that. Mascara tags himself in on a corner whip, and planchas Rojo. Headscissors sends Rojo out, and Pólvora in. Flapjack, dropkick to the face sends Máscara out, so Titan comes in with a springboard headscissors. Rey Escorpion bots him in the face, so Sombra springboard dropkicks him. Sombra huge tope con giro take s out the rudo. Máscara trips up Pólvora one the way back in and puts him in a tapatia, though tries a couple tries to get Pólvora up. Pólvora gives, and Titan flips off the top into a slow 'rana on Dragon Rojo for the other pin.
2: Mascara cleans out the masked rudo with superkicks, then Rey Escorpion with a flipping armdrag and a rolling dropkick. As someone (in the crowd, I think) oddly makes a Tarzan yell, Titan is worked over both rudos. Titan uses some 1 on 2 attacks, including kicking Rey Escorpion into a reverse bodyscissors no Pólvora, holding his partner up for a dropkick. Handwalk backflip headscissors sends Escorpion out. Sombra and Dragon Rojo tussle before the Pólvora gets in a cheap shot from outside. Dragon Rojo knocks a complaining Titan off the apron for good measure. Sombra makes his own comeback, rudos eager to roll right over him. Boost dropkick sends Dragon Rojo out, springboard backspring headscissors ends Escorpion to the ropes, but Dragon trips up Sombra from the outside. Pólvora trips up the tecnicos from the outside, and Escorpion catapult Sombra into a double dropkick. Scorpion finishes it.
3: Dragon Rojo runs Sombra from corner to corner for clotheslines and a low blow dropkick. Very obvious clip here – mostly they've just been coming into falls late to cut time until now. Rudos stomp down Sombra, but he gets up and fights back for a moment. Pólvora flapjacks Sombra. Mascara rolls under a double clothesline and dropkicks Pólvora to start the comeback. Quebradora for Escorpion, Dragon Rojo turned into a tope on Pólvora. Titan springboard armdrags Dragon Rojo, then goes out with a top rope springboard moonsault. Sombra and Escorpion in to finish it. Escorpion runs into a powerslam, Double moonsault nicely saved by Escorpion one two three.
