Sombra finally kicked out of the Bucanero Destroyer (which beat him in the last big match between the two.) Felino, who was announcing, distracted Bucanero near the end of this one. Sombra Brillante Bombed Bucanero for the win. Sombra noted to the press that he's gotten a step further each year, and feels better prepared this year. Sombra isn't set on facing Lyger in the final, he just wants to win this. Sombra also said he does not expect to main event the anniversary show, because he's spent too much time in Japan to have built that sort of rivalry. Felino & Bucanero made hair match challenges again.
12) Dragón Rojo Jr. & Último Guerrero © b Atlantis & Guerrero Maya Jr. [CMLL TAG] *
This match did not start until after these shows usually end, and live reports mention people did leave before it was over. Guerrero Maya beat UG with the Mayan Sacrifice (?) and Atlantis got Dragon Rojo with a 'rana to take the first. Champs got pins to take the second and tie it up. In the third, Atlantis eliminated UG with the Atlantida. Dragon Rojo managed to beat Maya on his own. Atlantis got Dragon Rojo in a foul again, but UG snuck in and fouled him, allowing Dragon Rojo to reverse the pin and get the win to keep the titles. UG explained that he didn't teach Atlantis everything about being a rudo because he knew this day would come, and Dragon Rojo said the next goal was to get a mask match between Atlatnis and UG, though Delta & Maya would fall too if they got in the way.
