Eliminator to Challenge the king of the Underworld (Number 1 contender for Sanson’s belt.)

Guerrero Maya, Esfinge, El Audaz, Black Panther, Triton, Flyer, Cuatrero, Forastero, Templario, Virus, Kawato San, and Tiger.

I don’t think I made a formal prediction on this match but the last tournament I predicted Templario, well, I choose him again because I’m a fan. So this title roughly translates to the King of the Dead or King of the Underworld. I guess generally Dead and Underworld are related. Maya and Cuatrero start out in this match. They fight for position but bring their fight to the outside where the rudos and technicos stare down. Black Panther and Virus are in next. They grapple for position as well. Next in are Templario and Flyer. As you can guess they’re grappling for position. This will likely be a trend until everyone comes into the ring.

They hit a stale mate, Flyer wants a handshake but Templario wants no part of it. Tiger and Triton get in next and while they’re battling for position they’re doing it at a much faster pace. Esfinge and Forastero are in next and eventually Esfinge hits a drop kick on him to the outside. He feigns a dive and hits a pose but his tag partner Triton joins him on the pose. Audaz is in next with Kawato san. Everyone has been in the ring now. Kawato hits a hurricanrana and then a dive over the top to the outside. Black Panther then hits a middle rope dive.
