La Máscara Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship
Máximo CMLL World Trios Championship
Pólvora Mexican National Welterweight Championship
Hiroshi Tanahashi IWGP Heavyweight Championship
Volador, Jr. Mexican National Trios Championship

Main Event[]

The Main Event of the August 24th Super Viernes was a continuation of a long running scripted feud between the tecnico (someone who plays the "good guy") Rush and the rudo (someone who plays the "bad guy") El Terrible. At this point in time the two had already agreed to wager their hair in a Luchas de Apuestas ("Bet match") that was going to be the Main Event of the CMLL 79th Anniversary Show on September 7, 2012. For this match Rush teamed up with La Sombra and Shocker, while El Terrible teamed up with fellow La Fuerza TRT ("The Power TRT") member Rey Bucanero and Último Guerrero. The tension between the two was played up to such a degree that Rush cost his team the first fall as he was disqualified due to excessive violence. In the second fall El Terrible outwitted his opponent and defeated Rush to give his team the two falls to nothing victory.
