In order of elimination Stuka, Jr. and Delta faced off in the first match of the first round, Puma faced Máximo in the second match and La Sombra and Ángel de Oro faced off in the third match. By virtue of being the last two men in the ring Euforia and Rush was given the longest rest as they faced off in the fourth and final match of the first round of the actual tournament. In the first round Stuka, Jr., Máximo, La Sombra and Rush all advanced. In the second round Máximo defeated Stuka, Jr. to earn his spot in the semi-finals. The other match saw '' Los Ingobernables'' ("The Unruly") team members La Sombra and Rush on opposite sides. During the week Rush had claimed that he would gladly fight against La Sombra if it came to it, but instead Rush simply laid down to allow La Sombra to pin him without actually fighting each other.

'' ("The Warriors from the Lagoon"; Gran Guerrero, Niebla Roja and Último Guerrero). The storyline behind the match was a combination of an individual rivalry between Rush and Último Guerrero that was in the developing stages of a potential longer term storyline. The other storyline pitted ''Los Ingobernables'' against ''Los Guerreros'' as a whole, potentially leading to a match between the two factions for ''Los GUerreros Lagunero's'' CMLL World Trios Championship at a later ''Super Viernes'' show. ''Los Guerreros'' won the first fall of the match, taking the lead as the two teams faced off for the second fall. During the closing moments of the second fall Último Guerrero pretended that Rush had kicked him in the groin, playing it up to the extent that the referee believed him and unjustly awarded the match to ''Los Guerreros Laguneros''. Following the match both Rush and Último Guerrero took the microphone and made various challenges for singles matches between the two, although at the time nothing was finalized.

The main event was the third week in a row that ''Los Ingobernables'' had faced some combination of wrestlers form ''Los Guerreros Lagunero'' and the second week in a row that La Máscara, La Sombra and Rush faced Gran Guerrero, Niebla Roja and Último Guerrero specifically as part of a longer-running storyline between the two factions. ''Los Ingobernables'' came to the ring wearing creepy masks, hoodies and pants instead of their normal wrestling gear, giving the impression of more of a street gang than a wrestling team. The majority of the in-ring action centered around Último Guerrero and Rush as they focused primarily on each other throughout the match, building to the already announced singles match between the two the following week.

. Park made his return to CMLL after last working for them in 2008 and immediately challenged anyone in CMLL to a fight. After no one stepped forward L.A. Park and his son returned to the back. Before the main event King Mictlantecuhtli was unmasked to reveal that Último Guerrero had been commanding the underworld arm throughout the night, Guerrero would reprise the role two days later on CMLL's Sunday night show. In previous weeks Guerrero had been on the receiving end of a low blow from Rush, but on the night Guerrero demonstrated why for a long time he has been considered the top ''rudo'' wrestler in CMLL as he won the third and deciding fall of a hard-fought match by landing a low blow on Rush. Unlike Rush though Guerrero made sure the referee did not witness the rule breaking and instead pinned his opponent to win the match. Following the match Rush made angry challenges at Último Guerrero, including a challenge to defend the CMLL World Trios Championship against his team at an undetermined date in the future.[
On November 6, it was announced that L.A. Park was not joining CMLL, but was only at the event to promote a partnership between CMLL and the new independent "Liga Elite" promotion.]
