The announcer closes the show as usual.
Overall thoughts: It was a good show from CMLL. The 7 match format helped things as nothing got too much time so the stalling and posing for the crowd was reduced. Onix was fine in his debut, just not spectacular. The mini's match was a good opening style match that was enjoyable. Meyer's match was fine but got very little time. Star Black's bout went fine. I thought The Villanos match was good though it wasn't the great one those two teams had a few weeks ago. I was pleased with how that turned out. The main was good. It was timed well and they kept it interesting. They also made good use of Komander here. I'd give this a 7 out of 10. This was one of the better top to bottom Puebla shows I have seen and I enjoyed it.
