Alright, folks, let's Lucha!
Aztec Warfare video recap.
They start with a white rabbit video. Paul London i talking about how the white rabbit called to him and he accepted it. “Tick. Tock. They’re here.”
Rabbit Tribe vs. Aerostar, Drago, & Fenix (c) for the Trios titles
One of the members is wearing a black and white checked body suit. Another has a black mask and black shirt. Paul London is wearing his white suit and black top hat look that has been in all of the video promos.
The Rabbit Tribe has the control early. When Fenix tries for a suicide dive, London hits a big superkick on him, then does a back drop onto everyone else on teh floor, and follows up with some crotch thrusts.
Back in the ring, the Tribe triple teams Fenix. They then hold hands and dance around Fenix. This gives the other members of the Super Friends time to come in and attack but it’s not long as the Tribe maintains control.
Fenix finally fights back but when he goes to make a tag, he sees that the Tribe has taken down his partners and are on the apron waiting for him.
Finally, the Friends hit stereo kicks on the challengers when they are doing some dancing in their corner.
Kobra Moon is watching this match from the top of Dario’s office.
Fenix ends up going one on one with the checkered man (Saltador?) and hits a bridge pin for the 1-2-3.
