Lady Shani vs. Flammer
The night’s in-ring action began with a non-title match between Lady Shani and AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Flammer. Shani controlled the early pace before Flammer retaliated with strikes and a sit-out piledriver.
The finish saw Flammer attempt to retrieve her championship belt from ringside, but La Catalina appeared and pulled it away. Shani capitalized on the distraction, executing a backstabber and a top-rope Iconoclasm to secure the pinfall victory.

El Fiscal vs. Abismo Negro Jr.
The main event renewed the bitter rivalry between El Fiscal and Abismo Negro Jr. The two brawled aggressively from the opening bell, trading heavy strikes and utilizing the ringside area.
The match was thrown out when Karmen Petrovic and the recently reformed Los Perros del Mal faction stormed the ring. Abismo Negro Jr. fled while the group viciously attacked El Fiscal as the show went off the air.
