Overall thoughts: It was a different show than usual with rare AEW vs CMLL singles matches and a tornillo. If you were looking for the traditional trios match, this didn't even have one. The tornillo was okay. I liked the tag match. Knight/Soberano disappointed. Dorada/Bailey was indy stuff. The main was decent but it was a little one-sided. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall and thought it was a good show from CMLL.
