A hurricanrana off the top rope earned Carrillo a two count. Andrade countered a moonsault and tossed Carrillo into the turnbuckle again. Zelina Vega pulled up one of the ringside mats, and Andrade planned to use it. But Carrillo reversed a Hammerlock DDT and hit a back body drop onto the floor. A dive to the outside gave Carrillo even more momentum. Andrade rolled through a crossbody and got a near fall. Andrade reversed a pin attempt into one of his own and pulled Carrillo’s tights to ensure he got the three count.
