-Commentators:  Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-Backstage in promoter Antonio Cueto's office:  Antonio received his invitation to Johnny Mundo & Taya Valkyrie's wedding, joking that it wouldn't last.  Kobra Moon entered and said that the Reptile Tribe never received a rematch for the Trios Titles, so Antonio made it so for tonight.

-Daga, Jeremiah Snake, & Kobra Moon d. Willie Mack, Killshot, & Son Of Havoc in a tornado tag match to win the Trios Titles.  Killshot didn't enter with his teammates and finally arrived after a few minutes; a miscommunication led to Killshot shoving Havoc off the top rope and Snake pinning Havoc after the double-underhook shoulderbreaker (8:54).
-The show closed with a brawl between Lucha Underground Champion Pentagon Dark and "They Call Him A Machine" Brian Cage, setting up their last-man-standing match for the title on next week's show.
