3. Bandido and Komander vs. Titan and Soberano Jr. Soberano wore mostly white today with just a splash of red. They all jawed at each other in the bell; Veda said there is “a lot of personal animosity” between Bandido and Soberano. Those two finally tied up to start, but Soberano ducked to the floor; loud boos for that! Titan entered at 1:30. Lots of stalling early on, as Soberano refused to enter or tie up. Komander and Titan traded forearm strikes at 3:30. The rudos began working over Komander in their corner.
Suddenly, all four brawled on the floor, and they took turns whipping each other into the guardrails. This really woke up the crowd! Soberano crotched Bandido on top of the guardrail at 5:00. Ouch! In the ring, the rudos stood on Bandido and got booed. Titan tied up Komander in the ropes. Komander was thrown over the guardrail and into the crowd at 8:30.

Bandido and Komander defeated Titan and Soberano Jr. at 17:16.
4. Pac vs. Mascara Dorada. Pac came out first; he attacked Dorada as he entered the ring, and they immediately brawled to the floor. (Yes, I’m watching this in the days after Pac’s shocking death.) They got back into the ring, and Pac slammed Dorada’s head into the turnbuckles. Veda said this was only Pac’s second-ever singles match in CMLL. Pac pulled Dorada to the mat in a headlock and kept him grounded. They sped it up, and Pac rolled to the floor. Dorada hit his twisting plancha to the floor at 2:00.
Pac hit a springboard moonsault to the floor, then he tossed Dorada back in and got a nearfall at 4:30. Pac hit a running kick to the face; Veda noted that Pac had a wide smile after that blow.

Dorada slammed Pac to the mat, then hit his own top-rope Shooting Star Press for the clean pin. That was pretty great… if that’s the last new match I ever see from Pac, it was a top-notch send-off.
Mascara Dorada defeated Pac at 13:21.
5. “The Mighty Don’t Kneel” Zack Sabre Jr. and Bad Dude Tito vs. Hechicero and Esfinge. I’ve always compared Tito to a thinner “Dr. Death” Steve Williams. Lots of stalling early, as Sabre didn’t want to tie up with longtime rival Hechicero. So, Esfinge and Tito opened and traded arm holds. Sabre kicked Esfinge in the back at 2:30 and tied up his left arm. Hechicero got in and traded leg locks with Sabre. Esfinge hit a jumping knee to Sabre’s jaw at 5:30.

In the ring, Hechicero tied up Sabre on the mat and rolled him around and got a believable nearfall at 15:00! Sabre tied Hechicero in an Octopus Stretch, and they fell to the mat. Esfinge kicked Sabre in the back for the save. Tito hit an enzuigiri on Esfinge, then an F5 slam. However, Hechicero hit a top-rope splash onto Tito. He hit his huracanrana headplant on Tito and pinned him. Good action.
Hechicero and Esfinge defeated “The Mighty Don’t Kneel” Zack Sabre Jr. and Bad Dude Tito at 16:58.
6. Mike Bailey and Mistico vs. Averno and Kevin Knight. Mistico and Averno opened, with Mistico hitting some armdrags. Kevin hit a flying clothesline on Mistico.

Bailey and Mistico climbed several stairs, and they hit stereo flying huracanranas on the heels at 11:30! The babyfaces threw Knight and Averno back into the ring, where they got stereo rollups. Mistico hit a top-rope Spanish Fly on Averno, and they were both down at 13:30. Mistico hit a springboard crossbody block to the floor on Averno.
In the ring, Bailey and Knight traded forearm strikes. Bailey hit a pump kick; Knight hit a dropkick. Bailey nailed the Tornado Kick in the corner. He set up for Ultima Weapon, but Knight hit a Frankensteiner! Knight went for the UFO frog splash, but Bailey got his knees up. Bailey hit a crossbody block against the ropes, with them both flipping over to the floor at 16:00. Meanwhile, Averno ripped off Mistico’s mask and stomped on Mistico, who had immediately curled up on the mat to hide his face. The ref saw all of this and called for the bell! Averno kicked the ref aside and continued to beat up Mistico.
Mistico and Mike Bailey defeated Averno and Kevin Knight via DQ at 16:21.
Final Thoughts: A really entertaining show that is unfortunately haunted by Pac’s death. I generally don’t suggest ‘star ratings,’ but I’ll note that the Wrestling Observer put three matches here at “4.5 stars or higher.” I’ll personally go with Pac-Dorada for best match, ahead of the main event. The Bandido tag match was really strong and earned third. This show clocked in at about two hours even.
