Welcome to PWInsider.com's ongoing coverage of The World Wrestling Council's Euphoria 2024 event from Bayamon, Puerto Rico on TrillerTV, emanating from Cancha Jose "Pepin" Cestero.
The event took place on Saturday 1/20, so obviously this is time delayed via VOD.
The show opened with the Puerto Rico flag waving before they went into a video package showing highlights and promos setting up the show.
Steve Maclin vs. Makabro
Maclin came out and the fans were trying to drown him out with air horns. He had sent in a promo challenging anyone to fight and asked wjjo it was going to be. Out came the masked Makabro. He came out carrying a guitar over his shoulder.
Makabro hit the ring and they brawled immediately. He nailed a pair of running charges into the corner but was caught with a running clothesline as he went for another. Maclin nailed a suplex and worked over Makabro with chops in the corner. He tied Makabro upside down and nailed the spear in the corner, then hit the KIA and scored the pin.
Your winner, Steve Maclin!
Short but the action was good. This felt like they were setting up Maclin for future appearances as a threat to the local babyfaces.
The atmosphere with everyone screaming and all the air horns trying to drown out Maclin already is making this a great watch.
WWC Junior Heavyweight Champion Diego Luna vs. El Informante vs. Brandon The Skater vs. El Hijo del Enigma
Enigma came out to Bon Jovi's Living on A Prayer, so he's automatically David Baldini's new favorite wrestler. Brandon the Skater carried his skateboard to the ring. Informante came out with an entourage of a female manager, Stephany Amalbert, and a big heavy dude dressed like a referee, Sr. Anthony
The challengers toss the champ to the floor at the onset and attack each other. Skater hit a high cross bodyclock on Enigma. Informante argued with the referee, allowing Luna to roll him up for a two count. Luna slammed Skater. Sr. Anthony got involved and nailed back senton splashes right in front of the referee. What?
Enigma hit several dives to the outside. Lots of near falls. Everyone battled on the floor and Amalbert held the ropes open for Sr. Anthony to hit a dive to the floor, and he's not even in the match. OK, why not? Enigma covered Luna but Skater broke up the pinfall. Skater nailed a Torture Rack into a cutter but Luna saved Enigma. Informante nailed a big boot. He scored several two counts. Informante ripped at Enigma's mask. Enigma caught him with a back suplex and tried to rip at Informante's mask.
Enigma avoided Sr. Anthony in the corner and nailed him with a leaping forearm smash. Informante nailed him with a DDT. Sr. Anthony came off the top with a flying elbow and Informante scored the pin.
Your winner and new WWC Junior Heavyweight Champion El Informante!
Action was good. The interference was confusing, since the referee did nothing to prevent it and nothing was announced about it being a No DQ bout but I guess that could be explained away as it being a Fatal Four Way, although nothing was said by Matt Striker on commentary.
Matt Cardona cut a promo and said he was going to become the Caribbean Champion tonight and would be known as not just the Indy God but the Puerto Rican God. That'll get some heat down there!

She cinched in a rear chinlock to wear Amazona down but Amazona dropped down to break it. She nailed a series of forearms and sent Markova into the ropes, drilling her with a clothesline as she rebounded. Amazona nailed a shotgun dropkick rebounding off the ropes.
Markova was placed on the top rope but fought Amazona off and nailed a missile dropkick for a two count. Markova went for a move but was dropped down with a Samoan Drop for a two count. Amalbert got on the apron and sprayed Amazona with a liquid, "blinding her." Markova went for a double underhook DDT but Amazona escaped and speared her, scoring the pin.

They worked really hard. This was perfect for the live audience and they told a good story to get Amazona over.
