Production

Background

The Mexican wrestling company Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (Spanish for "World Wrestling Council"; CMLL) has held a number of major shows over the years using the moniker Infierno en el Ring ("Inferno in the Ring"), all of which were main evented by a multi-man steel cage match, the eponymous Infierno en el Ring match. CMLL has use the Infierno en el Ring match on other shows, but will intermittently hold a show billed specifically as Infierno en el Ring, with the first such show held in 2008. The show has been an annual feature since 2012, with 2016 being the fifth year in a row CMLL held an Infierno en el Ring show. In 2012 and 2013 it was a summer show, but since 2014 it has been held in December.

All Infierno en el Ring shows have been held in Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico which is CMLL's main venue, its promotional "home". [2] In 2016 the show was held on December 25 as part of CMLL's Christmas/New Year's celebrations that also included Sin Piedad on January 1, 2017. [3] A few days after the press conference it was announced that the show would be streamed live on CMLL's YouTube channel, something CMLL normally did not do for their Sunday shows.

Storylines

The event featured five professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
