August started out with the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) holding a special major event called Juicio Final on Friday August 1 instead of their traditional Friday night CMLL Super Viernes show, but for the remaining four Fridays they held their traditional Super Viernes show, CMLL's main weekly show. The shows focused both on continuing storylines from Juicio Final as well as storylines building interest for their next show, the CMLL 81st Anniversary Show. At the Juicio Final show long time rivals Atlantis and Último Guerrero finally agreed to a Lucha de Apuestas , or bet match, for their wrestling masks, which they promoted as La Lucha del siglo ("The match of the century"). The shows also furthered issues between the trio known as Los Ingobernables ("The Unruly"; La Máscara, La Sombra and Rush) and their continuing rivalry with Negro Casas and his team known as La Peste Negra (El Felino and Mr. Niebla) as well as Shocker building towards a match at the 81st Anniversary Show. The August 8 Super Viernes featured the only championship match of the month as Dragón Rojo Jr. successfully defended the CMLL World Middleweight Championship against rival Rey Escorpión, continuing the feud between the two that started when Dragón Rojo Jr. left a group known as Los Revolucionarios del Terror, a group led by Rey Escorpión. August also saw the annual Universal Championship return as CMLL held the two first rounds on the 15th and 22nd. Former Universal Champions La Sombra and Último Guerrero both qualified for the finals and in the end Guerrero won, making him the first ever two time Universal Champion, The August 22, 2014 Super Viernes marked the first Super Viernes show where El Sagrado worked as a heel (referred to as a "Rudo" in Mexico (a "bad guy" character) when he teamed up with Misterioso Jr. and El Terrible, losing to the team of Blue Panther, Rey Cometa and Sagrado's rival Fuego.
The Super Viernes events featured a number of professional wrestling matches, in which some wrestlers were involved in pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines and others were teamed up with no backstory reason as such. Wrestlers themselves portrayed either "Rudos" or fan favorites ("Tecnicos" in Mexico) as they competed in matches with pre-determined outcomes. In total Super Viernes featured 38 matches. 74 wrestlers appeared in matches during August, including 8 women and 8 Mini-Estrellas wrestlers. CMLL held two matches featuring the women's division, two featuring the Mini-Estrellas and no Lightning matches. Dragón Rojo Jr., La Sombra, Máscara Dorada, Negro Casas, Rey Escorpión and Último Guerrero appeared on all four Super Viernes shows in August.
On August 1, 2014 Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) held a special Jucio Final ("Final Justice") event instead of their traditional Friday night Super Viernes show. [1]

Mexican professional wrestling promotion held their weekly Super Vierenes show on August 8, 2014, following up on events and fall-out from their major event, El Juicio Final ("Final Justice") the previous week. The show featured six matches in total, including Negro Casas' first Arena México match after being shaved bald the prior week. Casas had lost a high-profile Lucha de Apuestas , or "bet match" to rival Rush and as a result was forced to have all his hair shaved off. [1] In the main event of the August 8 Super Viernes Negro Casas teamed up with Último Guerrero and Shocker to take on the Rush led trio known as Los Ingobernables , which also included La Máscara and La Sombra. The match was contested under Six-man "Lucha Libre rules" tag team match with each team quickly winning a fall before the third and deciding fall. In the end the bald Casas, Shocker (who had also lost his hair to Rush) and Último Guerrero defeated the Los Ingobernables trio to gain a small measure of revenge.
Another feature match on the show centered around a several-month-long storyline between Dragón Rojo Jr. and Rey Escorpión. Up until recently Dragón Rojo Jr. had been a member of Los Revolucionarios del Terror ("The Revolutionaries of Terror") led by Rey Escorpión but after a falling out between the two Dragón Rojo Jr. changed alignment and became a tecnico (wrestling term for the "good guys"), becoming the rival of Rey Escorpión. The two had faced off numerous times on opposite sides of six-man tag team matches, including a match at Juicio Final where Rey Escorpión, Shocker and Último Guerrero had defeated Dragón Rojo Jr., Atlantis and Máscara Dorada. On August 8, 2014, Dragón Rojo Jr. put his CMLL World Middleweight Championship on the line against Rey Escorpión in a Best two-out-of-three falls match between the two. In the end Dragón Rojo Jr. proved successful on the night, defeating his rival two falls to one, keeping his championship safe. The third match of the night also features a Juicio Final rematch of sorts as La Seductora worked her first match unmasked after having lost it to the team of Marcela and Princesa Sujei a week prior. Goya Kong, Marcela and Princes Sujei proved successful, defeating La Seductora, La Amapola and Zeuxis two falls to one.

The tournament itself took up eight of the thirteen matches on the show and ended with La Sombra pinning Shocker to advance to the tournament finals two weeks later.
The main event of the August 15 show was the first in-ring meeting of Atlantis and Último Guerrero after they finally got approval to both put their masks on the line in a Lucha de Apuestas or bet match that would be the main event of the CMLL 81st Anniversary Show. The match would be the culmination of a long running storyline rivalry between the two with the August 15 match service to further the tension between the two.

The August 21, 2014 Super Viernes professional wrestling show hosted the second round of Mexican wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL)'s annual Universal Championship tournament, a tradition dating back to 2009. The tournament featured 16 CMLL champions with two qualifying rounds of eight to determine who would move on to the finals. Each qualifying block consisted of seven one-fall singles matches in an elimination match format to determine a finalist. For these types of tournaments CMLL usually starts out with an eight-man Battle Royal, booked to give a senese of randomness in the first round pairs.

The tournament itself took up eight of the thirteen matches on the show and ended with Último Guerrero defeating Volador Jr. to advance to the tournament final the following week.
The main event match was another chapter in a long running storyline feud between the group known as Los Ingobernables ("The Unruly"; La Máscara, La Sombra and Rush) and the reigning CMLL World Tag Team Champions Negro Casas and Shocker, who teamed up with Rey Escorpión for the match. Los Ingorbernables was a group that did not conform to the stricter tecnico definition that CMLL traditionally uses, referring to themselves as tecnico diferents, wrestling a rougher style and not playing to the crowd for cheers during their matches. Shocker and Negro Casas has defeated Rush and La Máscara to win the titles on a past Super Viernes and Rush had defeated both Shocker and Negro Casas in high-profile Lucha de Apuestas , or bet matches, forcing them both to have their hair shaved off as a result. [1] [6] [13] On the night Los Ingobernables defeated the champions and Rey Escorpión two falls to one and Rush & La Máscara would receive a title opportunity at the CMLL 81st Anniversary Show as the storyline developed.

The August 29, 2014 Super Viernes professional wrestling show hosted the finals of Mexican wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) annual Universal Championship tournament. In previous weeks Último Guerrero and La Sombra had both won their qualifying round to head to the finals of the tournament. Guerrero had previously won the 2009 Universal Championship tournament and La Sombra had won the 2011 tournament, which meant that for the first time ever there would be a two time winner of the Universal Championship. Both Guerrero and La Sombra had been involved in separate storylines up until this point, Último Guerrero continued his several-years long feud with Atlantis while La Sombra had been part of an emerging group known as Los Ingobernables that had headlined a large number of CMLL shows in 2014. The tournament finals was the only tournament match to be contested under "best two-out-of-three falls" rules and saw Último Guerrero win the first and third fall to become the first ever two time Universal Championship tournament winner. In the second to last match of the night long time rivals Negro Casas and Rush found themselves on opposite sides of a Six-man tag team match as they clashed to carry on the feud that had seen Negro Casas shaved bald less than a month ago and Casas and partner Shocker defeat Rush and La Máscara to win the CMLL World Tag Team Championship. Another issue in the semi-main event was the ongoing storyline between former partners Rey Escorpión and Dragón Rojo Jr. that began when Dragón Rojo Jr. decided to leave the Rey Escorpión led Los Revolucionarios del Terror ("The Revolutionaries of Terror") a few months prior. The betrayal led to an ongoing rivalry between the two, a rivalry that had already seen Dragón Rojo Jr. successfully defend the CMLL World Middleweight Championship against his Rey Escorpión on the August 8 Super Viernes show. Casas and Rey Escorpión were joined by Niebla Roja as they took on Rush, Dragón Rojo Jr. and Atlantis, defeating the trio by disqualification when Rush caused his team to lose after a low blow on Casas. The fourth match of the night was used to showcase a quickly developing feud between Rey Cometa and Cavernario, a storyline that would lead to a featured match on the CMLL 81st Anniversary Show only a few weeks later. Rey Cometa, Máscara Dorada and Valiente took on the group known as La Peste Negra ("The Black Plague"; Cavernario, El Felino and Mr. Niebla). In the third and deciding fall La Peste Negra's disregard for the rules got the team disqualified for excessive violence on Rey Cometa.
