Panther and Guerrero were part of CMLL’s first solo show in the U.S. The company traveled to Las Vegas for the event for the first time in its 92-year history. They competed against each other in a match of legends that became a must-see wrestling performance.
The two giants of Lucha Libre turned back time to deliver a phenomenal performance. Guerrero broke out hurricanranas and a superplex off the top rope. Panther compared it to multiple suicide dives. As Guerrero moved away from third, Panther hit a crossbody off the middle rope to the floor.
Panther capped off the match with a top rope dive. He then pinned Guerrero for the victory.
Fans packed into the Pearl Theater at the Palms Casino Resort chanted “Thank you very much” to the two superstars, who didn’t feel close to hanging up their boots.

Persephone would do everything she could to take care of Blanchard. After taking a cutter on the apron, Persephone hit Blanchard with a twisted German suplex.
