(3) Magno & Celestrial beat The Right (Petey Williams & Jon Rekon) in a non-title tag match. Celestrial, who hasn’t been at any other Albuquerque show, was a smaller luchador with a blue, full-face mask that heavily resembled Sin Cara’s. The beginnings of the match felt like it would end as a squash, with Rekon handily throwing the two luchadores all over the ring. However, the match shifted when Petey tried heelishly to rip off Magno’s mask. Once he ripped it off, it turned out Magno was wearing another right under it, and Magno promptly forced the mask onto Petey. Rekon was then blinded by an eye rake, and mistakenly took out Petey with his Samoan Drop which allowed the luchadores to win. As this was Petey and Rekon’s first tag match together since winning the title, it felt odd to have them lose and look rather buffoonish here. However, it looks like there will be time to build them back up before a match with a more established team.

(9) The Puerto Rican Powers beat The Latin Liberators (Supernova & Rocky Romero) and Medianoche & Mascara Purpura in a three-way “Lucha Ladder” tag team match for #1 contendership for the Tag Titles. After a show that had been a bit low on actual in-ring action, it was great to see this match featuring some of LLUSA’s most impressive high-flyers. They didn’t disappoint, and all the participants brought out a ton of innovative ladder-based moves. One impressive sequence saw Purpura hit a shooting star press off a ladder held up between another ladder and the ropes, followed quickly by Medianoche hitting a backdrop off the very top of the ladder. San Juan Kid also hit a tremendous corkscrew moonsault onto Purpura lying on a folded ladder. Petey Williams and Jon Rekon eventually stormed the ring and tied the Latin Liberators to the ropes with zip ties. After a few scuffles between the other two teams, the PR Powers finally grabbed the contract after dropping Medianoche through a propped ladder in an amazingly painful-looking spot.
