Let’s go to Armando Gaitan, and get things underway!”
Match #1
Lizmark vs. El Faraon
The popular Lizmark debuts. He is a veteran and loved by the fans. “The Pharaoh” is a rugged opponent. The man from Acapulco is very sharp. He wrestles smoothly, and controls the action. Faraon has his chances, but Lizmark hits the plancha suicida.
Winner- Lizmark
Match #2
Los Solars vs. Jerry Estrada and Cien Caras
Estrada and Caras are a tough Rudo team. The Solars are popular, but they have stepped in front of a buzzsaw. Estrada starts with Solar II. He roughs up the masked man. Solar is in trouble. The Mexico City crowd hates Estrada, but he doesn’t care. Solar escapes and tags in his partner. He starts fast, but Caras tags in. He overwhelms Solar and wins with a boot to the face. This is a powerful tag team.
Winners- Jerry Estrada and Cien Caras
Dr. Morales is with Atlantis.
Morales, “With me is a double champion, Atlantis. You are on top of the sport. You hold both the Universal Title, and the Universal Tag Team Championship, but you have many people chasing you.”
Atlantis, “Thank you Dr. Morales. Lucha Universal is the top competition in Mexico. There are people like Estrada, Cien Caras, El Texano, and others. I know I’m the hunted, and I like it that way. I wrestle for the fans, and want to hold these titles to pay them back for their support.”
Morales, “Atlantis is on top of the Lucha world. He will be in our next match!”
Match #3

Atlantis (Universal Champion) vs. El Monarco
The crowd goes crazy for Atlantis. El Monarco will be a good challenge. Atlantis is so smooth. He mat wrestles, and ties Monarco into knots. The crowd gets louder, and louder. Monarco puts up a fight, but the Champion clamps on the La Atlántida, and Monarco submits.
Winner- Atlantis
