Tijuana, B.C. — Xtreme Tiger lost his mask to Hijo de Rey Misterio in the main event of The Crash’s 15th Anniversary celebration, held at the Auditorio Municipal before an audience of over 5,000 spectators. Following the conclusion of the match, Xtreme Tiger unmasked and revealed his identity as 45-year-old León Sereno Estrada, a professional wrestler with a 28-year career who grew up in the Sánchez Taboada neighborhood. The event concluded in a moment of disorder when a spectator entered the ring area and confronted Hijo de Rey Misterio, who responded by striking the individual before security intervened. The match featured extreme rules, with four corners of the ring equipped with thumbtacks, a stapler, talcum powder, and a glass bottle. Hijo de Rey Misterio secured the victory after striking Xtreme Tiger with the bottle and executing a finishing maneuver, leading referee Tirantes to count the pinfall. Xtreme Tiger, a veteran who has held championships in AAA, won the 2011 Rey de Reyes tournament, and held the TNA X Division Championship, addressed his loss with composure. “I cannot say he beat me unfairly. There is a Japanese saying that a samurai, even if he loses his sword, does not stop being a warrior; I will not stop being a wrestler,” he stated. Hijo de Rey Misterio, who faced boos from segments of the crowd following the result, defended his performance. “It was a tough, hard-fought match. Today is my moment; the more they criticize me, the stronger I will become. Tonight, I believe I silenced many critics,” he said while holding the mask of his opponent.
