Thoughts: It was a solid opener. The faces flew, they kept things moving and they had some highlights without going too far. I really wish Futuro's team got some different gear though. It's absolutely impossible to tell these guys apart quick enough with all of CMLL's cuts and people coming in and out.

Thoughts: It was one of the more tolerable HoT matches as they didn't get to use weapons or do run-in's. They just worked a bit heelish and it worked better because of it. This wasn't bad.

Thoughts: It was a longer bout and the two really packed it with a lot of action. It worked a little better than expected. There wasn't any great logic to it and ELP wasn't very effective as a heel. It was alright though.

Hech step up knees UG. KT pushes Hech out of the way and falcon arrows UG for the win.
Thoughts: The ending was interesting with KT stealing the pin from Hech. The booking of this was weird. KT and Hech were heel partners a month ago or so when KT was in The Don Callis Family. KT left and is a face now. KT worked heel here though and not face. If AEW wasn't aligned with CMLL, I'd ignore it, but this is basically canon, so I can't. It was a tornado tag for the most part with all 4 guys doing whatever they wanted. They all hit their signature moves and I'd say it was average.
KT and Hech argue after. KT offers a handshake and Hech dropkicks him. Hech then stomps on him.
Tiger Mask is given a title belt before his match.

Blue dives on Vol off the ramp. Mist springboard crossbodies BT. TM spin kicks BT in the gut. Mist la mistica's Av while TM tiger drivers BT. The ref counts TM's pin while not even looking at TM.
Thoughts: It was a shorter one. It was fine enough for the main but nothing too memorable. Tiger Mask's team won and that was really the only outcome that could happen here. The heels controlled the early part of this then the face took over and won.
The whole roster comes out and celebrates Tiger after. Confetti, streamers and smoke shoot out.
The announcer then closes the show.
Overall thoughts: I'm not a big fan of interpromotional shows. The matches are random so it's hard to get too invested into anything. It gets a little harder with CMLL as they have their own style and it's a hard style to mesh with. I liked the opener and India/Rina beat expectations. Sky Team's match was rushed and beyond packed with action. House of Torture's match wasn't bad at all. Barb/ELP was okay. I didn't like the semi-main that much and the main was fine. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 as they tried to put on a special show here and the action was acceptable.
