Last year, MLW's Opera Cup regained prestige thanks to the victory in this fair of Mysticwho since then has been established as one of the most regular and relevant figures of the calendar presented by the American promoter.
And this year, mystical seeks to repeat victory, so for this, as we saw last night during the Blood & Thunder event, He took his first step towards such a goal, to win in the first round of the Opera Cup to Ikuro Kwonwith which he came from having raw hostialities because the Korean robbed him the MLW medium weight championship and one of his masks, which he recovered in the post -opate.
While, Neon faced Paul London in a “Lightning Match”, where none could be imposed after the 10 regulatory minutes. Neon, supported by the respectable, proposed an extra time of five minutes, but London did not see the idea with good eyes and kicked him, before the look of an indignant Paul Walter Hauser. Last May, during the CMLL vs. event. MLW held in the Mexico, Neon and London Arena played a fight of identical stipulation, and the result was the same.
