The match starts off quick with both men exchanging strikes. Both Lucha Brothers also score early near fall attempts. Penta slows the pace of the match down with an Inverted Cloverleaf. Shortly after that, Penta begins to rip away the mask of his brother which commentary points out would be a disqualification in Mexico, but Eddie Kingston corrects them saying they're not in Mexico. Fenix would eventually gain control scoring a near fall on a splash attempt. Turnabout is fair play as Fenix begins to go after the mask of his brother, which Eddie Kingston wildly objects to this time around.
