Back on the air, Striker explained what had happened and we saw multiple replays. The men in skull masks kicked down the door and carried Fenix back to the ring. Muertes hit The Flatliner for the win.

WINNER: Mil Muertes at 12:33 with The Flatliner.

Backstage: Dario asked The Crew if they had anything to say for themselves. He said one of them must pay. The Crew grabbed Bael and held him against the bars towards Dario's brother. Blood splattered across the faces of The Crew. Bael presumably was killed.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Well, It finally happened. Scott Hall once said that you shouldn't say you're going to kill someone because it's not going to happen within a wrestling show and it takes the viewer out of the moment. Well, Dario said The Crew would have to pay if they didn't win and they did. The Crew threw Bael under the bus and he was presumably killed by Dario's brother so, hey, anything is possible now. I guess.

SUMMARY RESULTS: (1) Mundo pinned AeroStar... (2) Prince Puma retained his championship... (3) Mil Muertes beat Fenix.
