Rating: ok
Notes: Edited entrances because there's only two matches on the show. Referee is Edgar. Leo is 3 for 4 on naming the edecans. Isis is with the rudos.
1: Pegasso and Skándalo start, with Skándalo mostly standing there for Pegasso's moves,. He does slip in a clothesline and chops eventually. Hooligan flips Skándalo to safety, he and Pegasso go aback and forth, and Pescado takes a flip all the way to the floor. Starman casadora cradles Hooligan for a surprise two count, and they exchange armdrags (though Hooligan has a longer setup.) Hooligans drops Starman on his stomach setting up a tapatía, Triton breaks that up with a flying sunset flip. Evasion seems stiff, but Triton manages to reverse springboard Hooligan out. Nitro comes into armdrag him. Triton slips on a Nitro sweep flip spot, and Nitro clotheslines him as he gets up. Nitro powerbombs Triton and dropkicks him out. Pegasso back in with a flying headscissors, then a rebound armdrag on Skándalo. Pegasso casadora shoved off, Skándalo chops him, whips him back to the the tecnico corner, Starman flips him to safety, drops Skándalo down in the corner, and Pegasso lands the 450 splash for the pin. Hooligan kicked in the ropes, and Triton adds a springboard guillotine legdrop to finish it.

2: Tecnicos remain in control. Starman gets Nitro with an apron diving headscissors. Triton and Hooligan do dueling flipping runs before the rudo's headscissored out. Pegasso does his own flipping run to set up Skándalo for a headscissors (Skándalo does not flip.) More headscissors, until Pegasso does the same once twice, and Skándalo blocks it into the Skándalo Driver. Hooligan has Starman beat with his flying move about 10 seconds before Nitro is done, but holds up so they can both get their pin counted.
3: Low blow dropkick is combined with a double suplex to the floor, so that's at least an idea. Triton's thrown into a Hooligan Crash, but no one tries for a pin. Rudos hit each other when fighting Starman, enough to to turn it around. Técnicos pile on all the rudos and get kicked off. Triton goes on a kick flurry on the outside on the two mobile members of the Tuareg, and the other técnicos set up Nitro for a springboard dropkick from Triton. Nitro's whipped over to Starman for the Air Raid Crash, and that's the match.
Replays are on the other side of a break. Tuareg get post match interviews to talk about how great they are and how everyone should beware for some reason.

Notes: Zacarias is with Negro. Pierroth's troops line the ramp for Pierroth. Nakamura wears his title to the ring. Tirantes is referee.
1: Sombra and Nakamura exchange shoves, and Nakamura tags out rather than deal with him. Negro and Azul instead. Azul drags around Negro in a headlock. Leo decides 'hilariously' translated Negro to English not as “black”, but one of those words you're not supposed to say on television (or much of anywhere except maybe music?) Pierroth is matched up with Máximo. Crowd wants a kiss. Pierroth is able to chop and kick Máximo, but Máximo nearly sneaks in a kiss. Zero trips and standoff. Nakamura and Sombra in, Nakamura almost wins with forearms, but Sombra kicks Nakamura in the face. Whip, reversed, Nakamura blocks a hiptoss kneelift, step over, escape, kneelift again, Nakamura throws Sombra down, big stomp misses, head kick misses, Sombra dropkicks Nakamura, Nakamura gets up and jump kicks Sombra in the head. Nakamura works Sombra over with a kneelifts. Shaky choke. Sombra set on the top buckle, Nakamura goes for the running knee, Sombra moves, springboard back in for a dropkick to the face. These two were working at a level like three times higher than the other two pairs. Rudos shoulderblock Rush out, other four all in, Máximo misses a top rope plancha, and that's all the rudos need. Pierroth uses a spinning body slam, a fearsome move. Maybe spinning is too strong.
2: Rudos take control of the ring, though Negro prefers to hang out on the apron. Pierroth gets in his belt shots, which Tirantes actually argues with. Negro comes back in to pick up Azul so they could keep going, then hides the belt in his trunks. Nakamura works over Sombra with knees, but Sombra slips in a dropkick. Sombra leaping clotheslines Nakamura and the other técnicos go after the other rudos. Nakamura's dumped out and Sombra follows with a tope. Other four left in, which includes a lot of standing around. Azul double spinebuster on the rudos goes a little better on Negro than Pierroth. Azul helps Máximo tot he top for a top rope splash on both, but only two counts. It doesn't matter, técnicos win with their next move anyway.
3: so many crowd shots. Nakamura wants to throw kicks, so Sombra throws kicks with him. This graduates to forearms, and Sombra shakes Nakamura with a hard one. Sombra is pulled into the rudo corner and knocked around. Pierroth dropkicks Sombra, which Sombra sells big, but Sombra headscissors Pierroth out. (Or he would, if Sombre could get under the bottom rope.) Sombra and Nakamura trade more shots in the corner, with the crowd only sort of it into it. Nakamura kicks Sombra away, Sombra catches him in a powerslam. Sombra springboard dropkick sends Nakamura out. Azul and Negro exchange clotheslines. Azul's does not look so good. Negro tires to suplex Azul, that does not go well. Azul presses Pierroth, Pierroth escapes and dropkicks Azul into the corner. Pierroth charge misses, Azul monkey flips Pierroth around. Pierroth uses more punches on Máximo, but Máximo comes form that. Máximo nearly gets the kiss on Nakamura, but Nakamura kicks him away. Sombra plancha on Nakamura, casadora cradle, Negro breaks that up. Negro headbutts Sombra out, Azul plancha Negro. Negro is faster then Azul, and but Azul catches a – whatever, I'm distracted by Leo's stupidly and not paying attention to the match. Máximo ends up plancha-ing Negro, Azul does his ramp dive on Pierroth. Sombra double moonsault eats Nakamura's knees. Nakamura's Landslide gets 2. Sombra evades the Boma-Ye, and pulls Nakamura into the Brilalnte Driver for three.
Sombra says he wants a title shot against Nakamura in Arena Mexico. Nakamura rejects him in Japanese. Backstage, Sombra repeats his challenge. Crowd shots.
