Smacks him in the back of the head, Humberto fights back up, Wheelbarrow Armdrag but a ruthless charging back elbow puts him down! Throws Humberto to the floor… grabs for the mat. Humberto stops him but he slams him spinefirst into the post! Throws Carrillo into the barricade! Rolls back in and tries for a ten count. Makes it in at 9 and eats a charging boot to the face.

Pursues, wants a superplex. Champ fights back, wicked knife edge chop! Carrillo with a headbutt back! Both standing… Avalancha Hurricarana!! Crawls over for the cover, nearfall!! Crowd really got behind that one.
“This Is Awesome” chant rings out as Humberto drags him closer to another corner. Goes up top! Moonsault missed, rolls through but an arm drag sends him right into the corner, landing hard! And there is the Meteora!! Andrade pulls him out for the cover, nearfall! Zelina Vega now pulling the cover off the floor, exposing the concrete! Humberto thrown out onto the floor. Andrade trying for the Hammerlock DDT onto the concrete but Carrillo reverses with a back body drop! Carrillo hits the ropes, leaps over the ref with a tope! Throws him back into the ring, top rope crossbody but Andrade rolls through for a nearfall! Carrillo with a La Magistral, cradles exchanged for nearfalls, keeps going until the champ grabs a handful of tights for the win!
Winner: Andrade
Man, I really didn’t think he’d just beat him again. Wonder if we are just straight-up getting Rey/Andrade at Mania… actually, a fatal four way is starting to make sense… either way, really good stuff.
