As a refresher, Diaz pushed or hit Perez's daughter Nathaly and that started this feud. Perez beat him in a match and took his title.

The DQ finish was lame but at least Diaz was DQ'd. The match was decent with Perez's offense looking good.

We get a promo from La Sangre Romeo Quevado. He says he keeps making history and says he is untouchable. He is riding a motorcycle. He says he sells ice in the winter, fire in hell and sells water to a well. Romeo gets some letter from Savio Vega and Romeo's partner there says Puerto Rico wants blood. Romeo is told he has to defend his title. He's told he has to defend about Mike Mendoza. Romeo is told he has something Mike wants. They also discuss Niche as an opponent.

The Faces of Destiny are talked about by Controversial Inc and Labrava Escobar. They say they call themselves the best team in Florida and Puerto Rico. They say they have not defeated them. they say they are their faces of destiny. They say its their time and said they must go for the tag titles. It was a good promo. They set up a tag title match with them at Armageddon.

Jay says they are a stepping stone and a stumbling block. Jay says they are proven.

Women's Title - Krystal vs Roxxy vs Nathaly Perez

 

Krystal is the women's champ and the Doom Patrol's manager. Iforget the story for this but Krystal beat Perez on the 4/27 episode and they made a rematch.

Perez is rolled up then Krystal is rolled up. Krystal is pounded on by both opponents. Roxxy dropkicks Krystal in the back and out and Perez tries to roll her up. Perez and Krystal trade forearms then Perez sunset flips her. Perez russian leg sweeps Roxxy then hits a bad tornado ddt. Krystal samoan drops Perez then legdrops Roxxy.

Krystal knocks Roxxy off the apron then baseball slides Perez off the apron. Krystal and Roxxy trade shots then Roxxy tries to roll her up but Krystal grabs the ropes and sits on her to win it. Wizard says Krsyal won in a completely fair and legal way.

Three ways aren't usually that good. It was short. They kept it moving and it was passable, but certainly not that great.

Mike Mendoza does a promo. He says he is he #1 contender for the title and said he told Nick Mercer it's his time. He says he is going after Romeo Quevedo. Pedro Portillo then walks in.

Vess says he likes competition and wants PErez's title. They agree to a match and Diaz says he will show him why he is the chosen one. Vess ss says it is done and Diaz says that Vess doesn't know what he's capable of.

Labrava Escobar of Controversial Inc talks. She said she heard there is competition for the IWA PR Women's title. She said the title is given to the wrong person. She asks Krystal thinkgs she is the most dangeorus and violent, but only because she had the chance to fight Roxxy and Nathaly Perez. Escobar says she doesn't see anything in dangerous and she's not intimidated. She said Krystal doesn't know who she is messing with. She said she comes here with a plan and says she is challenging Krystal at Armageddon. 

IWA Undisputed Intercontinental Championship - "El Atleta" Manu vs Azazel

Manu has La Alianza with him, which is Tonos, Jax Di Franco and Xavier Millet. Az rushes at him then takes corner spears and a release german. Az gets his feet up in the corner for a double boot then 2nd rope dropkicks him. Az topes him but takes a belly to belly on the floor. Manu germans Az and throws him out. Tonos cheap shots Az outside then Millet joins in. Millet ram's Az's back into the post right in front of the ref and nothing happens.

Manu chops Az outside and Az tries to fight back with chops. Raul says that Krystal has to accept Escobar's challenge, but Wizard says she;s the champ and can take her time. Az is thrown out and beat up 3v1 by Manu's buddies. The ref throws out La Alianza and Wizard says that's a bad call. He asks why does he have to do that?

Manu does a nice corner forearm on Az then Az flying clotheslines him. Az hits shots then flying forearms him. Az lariats him through the ropes while he's in the corner then Az top rope crossbodies him for 2. Az and Manu trade forearms and chops. Az superkicks him then Manu hits a nice spinning blue thunder for 2.

Az hits punches on Manu then Manu spears the post. A person in an Azazel outfit comes out and codebreakers Azazel. Manu laughs and elbow drops Az for the win. Wizard laughs and says "excellent execution".

The two matched up well and it was actually a fun little match. Manu should have been DQ'd for his friends interfering and the fake Azazel coming in was something different. It'd be one thing if he just wore the mask, but he had the whole costume on and looked similar.

Krystal does a promo. She said she was underestimated but is the champ. She said she beat two of the best fighters in PR. She said internationals are now calling for a shot at her title. She talks about Labrava Escobar and says she is an ant and can crush her with one finger. 

Wizard Analiza

Wizard said Pedro Portillo III fulfilled his promise of hurting Manny Ferno by sending him away in an ambulance. Wizard said he enjoyed this situation and congratulates Pedro. He said he doesn't know what Savio Vega will do and said Savio thinks he's a superhero. He said Savio is actually stupid though. He talks about Invader giving him a heart punch and says the next event, Armageddon is approaching. 

Miguel Perez talks about being champ then Manu walks in. Manu says this is his house and says Miguel's title is prestigeous. He says he has his eyes on Perez's title and challenges him.  Manu says they should make history again. Perez asks him what he wants and Manu says he wants a winner takes all title vs title match against him. Perez agrees and Manu says they should do this on May 20th. They agree and Perez says that's how he likes it.

Roxxy and Nathaly Perez walk in arguing. Nathaly wants to challege her. Perez argues wih them and says if they want to fight, they can fight on May 20th in a #1 Contenders match. Perez then teases doing his four words routine but says the four words are, "I am the champion".
