Mack is on the other side of the apron, gets sent down and is superkicked by Killshot. Havoc is back in the ring and Killshot repeatedly slaps Havoc. Killshot and Havoc hit each other forearms until Killshot knees Havoc in the chest. Havoc is Irish whipped but then hits a tilt-a-whirl DDT on Killshot. Mack re-enters the ring and the hits Killshot. All three wrestlers hit forearms to each other.

Both men start the match by punching each other. Cage then interrupts the back-and-forth striking and lands a jumping knee. Muertes then lands a forearm, but Cage hits a clothesline, followed by Muertes responding with one of his own. Both men hit each other with headscissors, but Muertes hits a backbreaker, which brings Cage to outside of the ring. Muertes drives Cage to the apron followed by being sent to the steel barricade. Cage lands a kick upstairs and Cage throws Muertes to the barricade and lands several forearms. Cage grabs Katrina, but Muertes gets Cage’s attention and hits Cage with a wooden chair and brings him back to the ring.

Muertes hits a forearm and then tries to spear Cage but Cage jumps out of the way and Muertes spears the referee instead. Cage hits a spinning forearm and goes for the cover but after seconds of no referee counting the pin, a new one comes in and Muertes kicks out at two. Cage brings Muertes to the outside again and has him in a fireman’s carry, but Muertes fights out and hits a clothesline on Cage. Muertes brings out a steel chair and Cage superkicks the chair to Muertes’ face. Cage bodyslams Muertes on the outside. Pentagon appears from the crowd and kicks Cage upstairs, takes the chair and hits Cage with it. Muertes brings Cage to the ring and spears him, followed by a flatliner. Muertes gets the three-count and wins the match.

Katrina refuses to step into the ring for her usual lick of death and walks away.
Pentagon said Cage shouldn’t be sad for losing the match because they will fight for the title next week and that just like Aztec Warfare, Pentagon will walk away the champion and in the end, Cage will have his arm broken into little pieces.
As we’re about to end the show, we see the Rabbit Tribe minus Mascarita Sagrada (Paul London, Mala Suerte and Saltador) hanging in a black and white room until Sagrada arrives to lead them to Killer Kross. Kross commands London to kill the man that led them to Kross and so London kills Sagrada with Kross’ wooden staff.
