At the 2016 event Atomic Star, Panterita, Mega, Omega, Súper Mega Oficial 911, Oficial AK-47, Oficial Fierro and Veneno all wore their masks again after having lost Luchas de Apuestas, or "bet matches", in the past and thus lost the rights to wear their mask.
The main event was a three-stage steel cage match, in the steel first match Trauma I, Mr. Águila and Canis Lupus defeated Danny Casas and in the second steel cage match Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Mr. Elektro and El Hijo de Dos Caras defeated Toscano. This meant that Casas and Toscano were forced to compete in the final steel cage match of the night, under Lucha de Apuestas rules with both men risking their hair. In the end, Toscano pinned Danny Casas, forcing Casas to be shaved bald as a result.
