- Antonio Cueto was in the ring and a "Papa Cueto" chant broke out. He congratulated Dezmond X for being the final competitor for the Gift Of The Gods match next week. He said next week is going to be epic because of all the main event caliber talent in the match.
Then it was time for everyone to come out and place their Ancient Aztec Medallions in the spots they go in on the title belt. Dragon Azteca Jr, King Cuerno, Ivelisse, Dezmond X, Son Of Havoc, The Mack, and Mil Muertes all came down, placed their medallions in the title and got in the ring.
Antonio said, "now that I have you all here, let's have some fun." He said he always found seven to be an unlucky number. He said next week only six would be competing for the Gift Of The Gods title. So he booked an impromptu Battle Royal and the winner gets to choose who doesn't get to compete next week.
Battle Royal Match
King Cuerno was eliminated and then Ivellise was tossed on top of him. Dezmond X followed. Mil was doing a ton of these eliminations. Suddenly, Havoc and Mack tossed Mil over the top rope.
Mack and Havoc were last in the ring. The looked each other over and a 2/3 of the Trios Champions didn't seem to want to fight. So Havoc did a top rope dive on everyone eliminating himself.
Winner: The Mack

Antonio asked The Mack who he wants to kick out of next week's match. The Mack said he likes to think he's not afraid of any man but, Mil Muertes scares the s-word out of him. So he kicked Mil out. Then Mil destroyed everyone in a rage.
Vibora vs Johnny Mundo
Mundo and Vibora traded some moves for a stalemate. Then Taya and Kobra Moon got involved. Taya took Moon out and Mundo took Vibra down with some knees and a standing moonsault. Vibra sat up with Mundo out of the pinfall and slammed him down. Then Vibora hit a splash in the corner and a running big boot.

Vibora hit another punishing move that looked like it was going to be a burning hammer but he flipped him around for a faceplant. Mundo came back with a rana and climbed to the top rope. Vibora sat up and stared up at Mundo so Johnny hit a flipping slash on Moon instead.
Mundo and Taya gave them the finger and Vibora chased him. PJ Black showed up and whacked Vibora with a chair while Taya distracted the referee. Then they put Vibora back in the ring and Mundo hit the End Of The World. 1-2- kick out!
Mundo superkicked the referee down and Worldwide Underground invaded the ring. The wrapped a chair around Vibora's neck and just as they were about to do something, Drago jumped in and so did Daga. The Reptile Tribe ran off Taya and PJ Black leaving Mundo and Vibora in the ring.

The Worldwide Underground arrived afterward with chairs and they laid everyone out. Then the Reptiles jumped in and got some revenge. It all broke into a melee as the two factions fought in the ring to close the segment.
- XO Lishus did a promo/ Flashdance parody. It was pretty funny.
- Jack Evans was talking to a doll backstage and Ricky Mandel said they could have really used him out there. Evans said Mundo knew he didn't do Reptiles. Then Mandel left and the doll suggested Evans do bad things to Mandel. Evans said Johnny would be mad. This was very creepy.

Pentagon Dark hit a lung blower for a two count. Cage hit an electric chair drop to a facebuster for another two count. Penta returned with a flipping piledriver and a package piledriver for the win.
Winner: Pentagona Dark
-After the match was over, Pentagon Dark showed Cage his title and held him down before breaking Cage's arm. Cage was too strong so Penta couldn't break his arm. Instead, Cage got up with Penta into a fireman's carry and send him crashing into his own title belt. Cage picked up the microphone and said Penta can't break his arm because he's not a man, he's a machine.
