Thoughts: I didn't like the finish. It should be a DQ to mess with the ref period, yet alone on a pin. It was okay otherwise with them continuing the four-way Hech vs Euf vs Val vs Esf feud. They made sure you knew these guys are rivals and don't like each other.

Templario, Flip Gordon and Volador Jr. vs Soberano Jr, Angel de Oro and Niebla Roja

1st Fall - Roja is the heavier and lighter skinned one compared to Oro. Sob and Flip go at it. They do some mat wrestling and Flip front facelocks him.

Temp top rope double crossbodies Oro and Roja. Temp then powerbombs Oro while Vol backcrackers Roja. Temp and Vol then get double pins and win the match in 2 straight falls.

Thoughts: I was surprised the match was won in 2 straight falls but it ends up leading to a title match I believe so that's why it happened. It wasn't a great main and everyone clearly took a night off here as they often do in these mains. Vol + Sob + Arena Puebla is a recipe for laziness most weeks.

Overall thoughts: The opener or the 2nd match was the best match on here but neither was perfect. The main was a lazy waste of time and far from anyone's best efforts. I wouldn't recommend this.
