They went to commercial here, and the match ended during the commercial, they showed what happened in the repeats, Mistico did La Mistica to Averno but Mephisto came in and unmasked Mistico getting the DQ. Tecnicos won. 

That wraps up this show, so this is how it feels to see a full CMLL card. It wasn't bad, I liked it.
