AAA Cruiserweight Champion Laredo Kid vs. Rey Fenix
Fenix came out flying at the opening bell, blasting Laredo Kid with a flurry of dropkicks before immediately looking for the Mexican Muscle Buster. Laredo slipped free, but Fenix kept the pressure on until Laredo finally created some breathing room with a thunderous powerbomb.
Laredo answered with a sling blade and a Michinoku Driver, but Fenix kicked out. Sensing an opening, Laredo shifted his focus to Fenix’s back and leg, stomping away and twisting the limb in an effort to neutralize his high-flying offense. He cinched in a Texas Cloverleaf, but Fenix managed to reach the ropes and force a break. Things got even more ruthless when Laredo removed the turnbuckle pad. Laredo trapped Fenix in a Cloverleaf draped across the top and middle ropes, further punishing his lower back. After tossing Fenix away, Laredo continued the assault, stomping on his back from a crab hold. But Fenix suddenly exploded back into the match with a barrage of lariats. He followed with a top-rope splash and then a beautiful crossbody frog splash. Keeping the momentum rolling, Fenix transitioned into an armbar, though Laredo was able to inch his way to the ropes.
The pace only intensified as the two traded strikes in the center of the ring. Laredo landed a DDT, but Fenix fired right back with a spinning kick and a DDT. Desperate, Laredo reached for a low blow, but Fenix saw it coming, blocked it, and planted him with a rolling cutter. Even then, Laredo somehow kicked out at two. Fenix connected with a picture-perfect superkick and went for the Mexican Muscle Buster, but Laredo countered by mocking Penta. The taunt only fueled Fenix’s fury. He dragged Laredo back into position and finally delivered the Mexican Muscle Buster, but Laredo still kicked out at two. With frustration mounting, Fenix teased using the exposed turnbuckle. As the referee turned his attention to the corner, Laredo capitalized with a cheap shot below the belt and followed it up with a frog splash. Remarkably, Fenix survived the pin attempt. Laredo charged in for the finish, but Fenix sidestepped him and sent him crashing face-first into the exposed turnbuckle. Seizing the moment, Fenix hoisted him up for another Muscle Buster and scored the three count.
Your winner and new Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Fenix!

AAA Latin American Champion El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. vs. El Hijo del Vikingo
Wagner wasted no time asserting himself, catching Vikingo with a dropkick at the opening bell before driving him into the mat with a powerslam. When that wasn’t enough to keep the challenger down, Wagner followed up with a senton. Vikingo regrouped on the outside, but Wagner pursued him with a dive. The gamble backfired as Vikingo sidestepped the attack and immediately targeted Wagner’s leg with a sharp dropkick.
Sensing an opportunity, Vikingo went to work on the champion’s lower body. He trapped Wagner’s legs around the ring post and crushed them with a double stomp before tossing him back inside for a near fall. Wagner escaped at two, but the punishment continued as Vikingo knocked him to the floor with a baseball slide and then connected with a standing Shooting Star Press to keep the pressure on. The champion eventually battled back into the contest, landing a superkick and a cannonball in the corner. Wagner followed with a diving splash from the top rope, but Vikingo refused to stay down. Moments later, Vikingo planted Wagner with a flawless crucifix driver that left the champion sprawled on the canvas. Omos came to ringside as Dorian Roldan distracted the referee. With the official’s attention elsewhere, Omos yanked Wagner off the top rope, giving Vikingo an opening to land a 450 splash. Wagner somehow kicked out.
Galeno rushed to the ring to even the odds, but Omos flattened him and hurled him over the barricade. Galeno fought his way back into the fray armed with a steel chair and repeatedly blasted Omos until the giant finally collapsed at ringside. Vikingo quickly neutralized Galeno, but while the referee was preoccupied with the commotion, Mini Vikingo slid into the ring and surprised Vikingo with a dropkick. Wagner capitalized with a cover, yet Vikingo still managed to escape before three. As the chaos continued, Omos recovered and delivered a crushing right hand to Wagner. With the champion reeling, Vikingo ascended to the top rope and soared through the air with a spectacular 630 splash. This time, Vikingo scored the three count.

AAA Tag Team Champions Pagano & Psycho Clown vs. The War Raiders
The War Raiders attempted to ambush Pagano and Psycho Clown but they were ready for it. The champions turned the tables immediately, sending Ivar to the floor while Psycho and Erik traded shots inside the ring. Erik eventually gained the advantage and tossed Psycho to the outside, where Ivar flattened him with a crushing attack. After throwing him back into the ring, Ivar went for an early cover, but Psycho kicked out. Erik tagged in and continued wearing down Psycho before bringing Ivar back into the match to maintain the pressure. The champions struggled to find an opening until Psycho finally burst out of the corner with a clothesline that created enough separation to make a tag. Pagano entered the match with a surge of energy and immediately took the fight to Erik. A back elbow staggered the challenger before Pagano followed up with a second-rope Codebreaker. Not content to stop there, he headed outside and spiked Ivar with a tornado DDT on the floor. Rey confused the War Raiders for The Viking Raiders. Corey noted they were Vikings in a former life.
Back inside the ring, Pagano connected with a side slam on Erik for a near fall. More tags followed, bringing Psycho and Ivar back into the action. Psycho stunned Erik before launching himself through the ropes with a suicide dive that wiped out Ivar. The champion kept rolling, planting Erik with a Code Red, but the challengers survived the cover. The champions came within inches of retaining moments later. Psycho delivered a Psycho Driver, and Pagano followed with a leg drop from the top rope. Psycho then soared through the air with a frog splash, but Erik dove in at the last second to break up the pinfall. Chaos theory reigned. Pagano neutralized Erik on the outside before firing a kick toward Ivar. Unfortunately for the champions, the strike sent Ivar crashing into Psycho and disrupted their momentum. Ivar quickly recovered, launched Pagano out of the ring, and reunited with Erik. With Pagano stranded on the floor, the War Raiders!
After the match, Psycho confronted Pagano. They started shoving each other. Pagano walked off. That left Psycho Clown open to be attacked by the new champions. Pagano watched and thought about helping Clown, but walked off instead. The War Raiders beat down Psycho Clown and celebrated.
