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.

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.
