The semi-main event featured two teams of brothers as CMLL representatives Nueva Generación Dinamita ("New Generation Dynamites"l El Cuatrero and Sansón) defeated Las Traumas (Trauma I and Trauma II) by disqualification when El Cuatrero threw his mask to Los Traumas, making it seem like they had unmasked El Cuatrero.
