Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/cmll-on-televisa-puebla-2152026.html

Note - In case you didn't see it,  CMLL is done with captain's falls rules. The first pin/submission in a fall wins the fall now.

Lightning Match - Mercurio vs. Galaxy

They lock up. Merc waistlocks him and is armdragged. Gal then headflips up. Gal flying snapmares him then legsweeps him. They then stand off. Gal flips off the top and kicks him in the gut. Merc pretends its a low blow. Gal flying headscissors him and is kicked when backrolls.

Merc corner lariats him then seemingly kicks the buckle into his crotch. Merc throws him by the mask. Gal top rope dropkicks him out. Gal then topes him outside. Gal springboard diving hurricanrana's him for 2. Gal is popped up and Merc rolls through his hurricanrana and gets a 2 count on him.

They trade shots on their knees. Gal top rope hurricanrana's him for 2. Gal misses a top rope splash and Merc gets a 2 count on him. Merc pop-up powerbombs him. Merc ties up his legs and pulls an arm backwards for the submission win.

Thoughts: It definitely went pretty close to the 10 minute time limit here. It was a decent match. Gal brought the flying and Merc brought the personality. I always enjoy Mercurio and it was nice to see him get a singles match here.

Thoughts: It was a good tag. There was nothing wrong with this. The heels acted like heels and triple teamed the faces and the faces did their flying. They are definitely having Xelhua lay off all of the technical stuff, but it's a mistake as that's why we all like him in the first place. This flowed well and I had no real issues with it.

Thoughts: It was nothing too memorable but the match was fine. We got some flying and the heels did what they were supposed to do. It was nice to see Star in the main and it was nice to see Gran get away from Ultimo Guerrero for a match or two. I was surprised to see the heels win clean but it doesn't really matter that much as all the top stars are in Japan.

Overall thoughts: We had 3 new matches as usual here. All 3 matches were fine. I liked the 2nd match best. It was nice to see Mercurio get a singles match and we had a different pairing in the main than what we usually get. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and I thought it was good.
