The 15th anniversary of the company The Crash took place at the Tijuana Municipal Auditorium , which was packed as Hijo de Rey Misterio put his mask on the line against Xtreme Tiger in one of the most anticipated matches of 2026 due to the rivalry they had been building after La Familia de Tijuana broke up, a group that was transformed following the retirement of Halloween and Damián 666.
The match was filled with emotion and tension from the Tijuana fans who were backing Xtreme Tiger to unmask Hijo de Rey Misterio, so from the entrances they kept watching to see who the favorite was to come out with his hand raised, but fate had other plans and after a physically grueling battle it was the Tijuana native who lost his mask, unleashing the anger of those in attendance.
While Hijo de Rey Misterio waited in one of the corners for Xtreme Tiger to get up and for the protocol to take place when a wrestler loses his mask, he was surprised by a fan who broke through security and attacked him with two blows to the chest as if they were clotheslines.
This aggression provoked an immediate reaction from the winner of the bet match, who threw two punches to his face to knock him out and make him fall hard to the ground, so the signal was quickly given for the doctors to come in and attend to the fan who tarnished one of the most important victories of Hijo de Rey Misterio.
Xtreme Tiger starred in one of the most painful moments of his professional career during The Crash’s 15th anniversary, held in Tijuana. The experienced borderland gladiator entered the match intending to keep the symbol that had accompanied him for nearly three decades in the ring; however, Hijo de Rey Misterio ultimately prevailed in an extreme contest that brought his time as a masked wrestler to an end.
The battle was marked by its intensity and the use of blunt objects, as both gladiators resorted to tables, chairs, and thumbtacks to punish their rival. Finally, a "Mayan Sacrifice" allowed Hijo de Rey Misterio to secure the victory and force his opponent to reveal his identity. In front of the fans in Tijuana, Xtreme Tiger removed his mask and confirmed that his real name is León Sereno Estrada.
