Finals and aftermath
The finals took place on June 20, 2014 between the two top point earners, Hechicero and Cavernario. Hechicero had been the point leader throughout both rounds of the tournament, largely due to the fan votes, lost to Cavernario two falls to one.[3] The following week Negro Casas, Virus and the 8 tournament competitors faced off in a Torneo cibernetico elimination match that saw Negro eliminate Virus to win the match.[4] On July 27, 2014 Cavernario cashed in one of his tournament prizes as he faced Titán for the Mexican National Welterweight Championship, but lost.[5]
