Raul Magnum is on commentary here. 

Manu is looking for something in the locker room. He finds a note with money in it that says to join the dragon and he will be rewarded. It tells him to keep his mouth shut. 

Cesar Aldea vs Barbie Boy

They trade shots to start. BB hip thrusts him from behind then hiptosses and slams him. BB legdrops him and tries a north-south pin on him. BB hits punches and CA backdrops him off an up and over attempt. 

CA hits more punches and chokes him on the ropes. CA sleepers him on the ropes and gets a 2 count on him. BB 2nd rope springboard twisting headbutts him. BB la magistral's him for 2. CA lariats him down for 2.

BB's head is banged off the buckles and CA chops him. BB fires up and and hits chops on CA. CA goes up and over and lariats him. CA flying corner lariats him then flying lairats him for 2. CA goes up top and BB 2nd rope belly to belly suplexes him. 

BB fires up. He hits chops and a headbutt on him. BB back body drops him then flapjacks him. BB then gets a 2 count on him. 

BB blocks shots and kisses him. Pedro Portillo III gets on the apron and distracts the ref. CA grabs the chair with the weight that he came out with and he hits BB with it. CA then pins BB.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good as expected. BB is limited and his comedy act gets old. We also had a dirty finish that didn't help things.

Rankings Match - El Gladiador Boricua vs Jose "El Mencho" Navarro

The winner moves up in the singles rankings.

GB hits mounted corner punches. GB misses a corner splash and Jose standing blue thunders him for 2. Jose takes off his boot to use on G. The ref takes the boot from Jose. Jose then hits GB with his other boot and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a simple match with basic heel vs face stuff. They didn't do a lot but made the best of what they did do. It was average to maybe acceptable. GB had a decent comeback section.

Pedro Portillo III vs Joe Anthony

Joe knocks him over. They lock up and PP claims Joe pulled the hair he doesn't have. Joe shoulders PP over then armdrags him. Joe slams him and PP goes out. PP comes in and is tripped. Joe armdrags him and low crossbodies him on the mat.

PP misses a corner splash. Joe hits punches and back body drops him. Joe lariats him down a few times then cartwheels. Joe uranage's him then misses a senton. PP then gets hit with a samoan drop for 2. 

PP goes out to stall. Joe then topes PP and his buddy. Joe chops PP outside and in the seats. Joe goes up top and PP throws him down after PP's buddy distracts the ref. PP flatliners Joe for 2. PP hits a soul foot for 2. PP germans him. PP hits Joe with brass knucks and pins him.

Thoughts: This was Joe's debut and against a big name like Pedro, he probably wasn't going over. He had a decent showing though. Joe is all about the big babyface comebacks and he got to do that here. PP bumped for him and wasn't afraid to look bad. This was fine.

We then see Manu receiving money with another note in his suitcase. 

Overall thoughts: Barbie Boy's match wasn't good as expected. Jose/Boricua was average to acceptable. Pedro/Joe was fine. The stuff with the money in mystery envelopes is working and I'm curious to see where that goes. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall as it was acceptable.
