Angel Garza vs. Humberto Carillo

Monday Night Raw February 24

Carillo used a side headlock in the early part of the match, but used a dropkick to send Garza to the outside. As Raw went to a mid-match commercial, Humberto connected with a suicide dive. Back from commercial, Garza ripped his pants off and used a superkick for a near fall. Carillo began a comeback using an arm drag to send Garza to the outside. The comeback was short lived as Garza connected with a superkick from the floor. The two battled exchanging kicks on the apron until Carillo fell to the floor and Garza hit an Asai moonsault from the post to the floor. The moonsault led into the second mid-match commercial. As the show came back from this commercial break, Carillo hit an immediate Spanish fly. As Carillo went to the top rope, Vega jumped up on the apron allowing Garza to run up the ropes and hit an avalanche Spanish fly.

They next went into a series of exchanging pinfall attempts, and Garza caught him with one for a clean pinfall. Very good for a Raw match.
