Winner: Mil Muertes
2. Cueto Cup (1st Round)
Paul London (Rabbit Tribe) vs. Vibora (Reptile Tribe) w/ Kobra Moon
- Vibora is the big snake-looking guy from the Reptile tribe.
- At one point, London grabbed Kobra Moon and was threatening to cut her throat with a carrot. He then tried to use the same carrot as a weapon against his opponent.
- During the match, other members of the Rabbit tribe entered the ring, did somersaults, and then went back under the ring.
- As Vibora was trying to make his way back into the ring, the two other members of the Rabbit tribe grabbed his legs from under the ring. The interference prevented Vibora from getting back in the ring in time for the 10 count.
Winner: Paul London via Count-Out
3. Cueto Cup (1st Round)
Joey Ryan vs. Taya
- Joey did his normal routine here, offering Taya a lollipop after rubbing it all over himself.
- A lot of comedy, with Taya pulling Ryan by his chest hair etc.
- Taya won with her finisher, which is a northern lights suplex into a standing double foot stomp. She’s used the move often in AAA.
Winner: Taya
- In the back, Jeremiah Crane (Solomon Crowe) attacked Mil Muertes with a chair.
- He told Muertes that Catrina’s is his.
- We got another promo for the upcoming Mundo vs. Mysterio LU championship match.
4. Cueto Cup (1st Round)
Jeremiah Crane vs. Killshot
- Killshot looked to have things in control, when Dante Fox (the man who shares a military background with Killshot) appeared in the rafters.
- The distraction allowed Crane to hit a power-bomb and get the pin.
- After the match Catrina appeared at the top of the steps and glared down at Crane.
Winner: Jeremiah Crane
- The final scene of the episode took place in Dario Cueto’s office.
- A large man with a large beard and deepened voice was asking Cueto for a match.
