To be held at Arena Mexico for the re-opening of the Arena. Francisco Flores used his own referees Pompin, Camarena and Brujo Duarte.

1) Zagan b Tommy Nava
2) El Fantasma & Gran Jalisco b Asesino Negro & Nazi

Box y Lucha calls this the most boring match from this run of Arena Mexico so far.

Another in a series of Mora matches on EMLL shows, called best match of the night.
4) Alfonso Dantes & Gran Coloso b Cien Caras & El Fantasma
5) El Halcón, Mil Máscaras, Tony Salazar b El Faraón, Gran Markus, Sangre Chicana
Event Notes: MS2, Tierra Viento y Fuego, Hara Kiri and Kahos all advertised but didn't appear. Box Y Lucha says it was commission issue but the crowd blamed the fans loud enough to chant Fraude.

2) Talismán b La Fiera
