Storylines
The Crash VIII Aniversario show featured eight professional wrestling matches scripted by The Crash with some wrestlers involved in scripted feuds. The wrestlers portray either heels or faces as they perform in the ring. Tiago won The Crash Junior Championship on May 24, 2019 when he defeated Xperia and Torito Negro to become champion. When The Crash began to announce matches for their Aniversario show, they announced that The Crash Junior Championship had been vacated, but did not give any specifics around why it was vacated. Instead they announced a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match between Toto, Próximo, Baby Xtreme, Soldado del Invierno, and Terror Azteca for the championship. The Crash also announced a number of championship matches with no major storylines leading to each match, often featuring non-Mexican wrestlers who only appear in Mexico for special occasions. For the show Rey Horus was announced as defending The Crash Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Cobb and Cima. Then-champion Jonathan Gresham would be defending The Crash Cruiserweight Championship against Oráculo, Black Danger, and Dinámico. The company also announced that Lady Flamer would defend The Crash Women's Championship against Christina Von Eerie in Von Eerie's first match for the company. The only championship match announced for the show that featured a storyline was the feud between The Crash-mainstay, and champions, La Rebelión Amarilla and independent circuit regulars Las Traumas who had been fighting over the previous The Crash Shows. While championship matches are often the headliner matches for major shows in professional wrestling outside of Mexico, the Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet matches", are generally promoted as more prestigious than championship matches in Mexico.. The Crash announced a three-on-three Lucha de Apuestas match as part of their The Crash VIII Aniversario show, where all three members of a team would lose their mask or hair if they lost. The long building feud pitted Los Haraganes against Triple Amenaza. Two out of the three members of Triple Amenaza were unmasked, which mean two of the men risked their hair. Since Arandu was already bald, Triple Amenaza "bet" the hair of their corner man Peluche instead should the team lose.
