==Trivia==
*S1 E2 Matsuda Injury: The ending of Piranha vs. Matsuda from this show would have originally had Suda get a post-match beatdown from El Omnívoro, however he moved awkwardly during the second Frenesí, causing him to sustain a moderate neck and back injury. Instead, Piranha merely talked smack about UNION British Champion El Jefe, instead.1
==Behind-the-Scenes==
#Matsuda actually did awkwardly move during the Finisher, which looked off as a result, and I always try to incorporate these things into the "reality" narrative behind my promotions.
