Post-match: Dario and Matanza stood at the top of the temple. Pentagon grabbed a mic and said at Ultima Lucha he will break the bones of Matanza and Dario because he is Pentagon, Jr.

FINAL THOUGHTS: What can I say? A very well done elimination match. This was a great showcase for Pentagon, which is great considering we haven’t seen much of him lately. We can only hope he can pull some strings and work hard to get a decent match out of Matanza.
