Mexican professional wrestling promotion held their weekly Super Vierenes show on August 8, 2014, following up on events and fall-out from their major event, El Juicio Final ("Final Justice") the previous week. The show featured six matches in total, including Negro Casas' first Arena México match after being shaved bald the prior week. Casas had lost a high-profile Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet match" to rival Rush and as a result was forced to have all his hair shaved off.^[1] In the main event of the August 8 Super Viernes Negro Casas teamed up with Último Guerrero and Shocker to take on the Rush led trio known as Los Ingobernables, which also included La Máscara and La Sombra. The match was contested under Six-man "Lucha Libre rules" tag team match with each team quickly winning a fall before the third and deciding fall. In the end the bald Casas, Shocker (who had also lost his hair to Rush) and Último Guerrero defeated the Los Ingobernables trio to gain a small measure of revenge.

Another feature match on the show centered around a several-month-long storyline between Dragón Rojo Jr. and Rey Escorpión. Up until recently Dragón Rojo Jr. had been a member of Los Revolucionarios del Terror ("The Revolutionaries of Terror") led by Rey Escorpión but after a falling out between the two Dragón Rojo Jr. changed alignment and became a tecnico (wrestling term for the "good guys"), becoming the rival of Rey Escorpión. The two had faced off numerous times on opposite sides of six-man tag team matches, including a match at Juicio Final where Rey Escorpión, Shocker and Último Guerrero had defeated Dragón Rojo Jr., Atlantis and Máscara Dorada. On August 8, 2014, Dragón Rojo Jr. put his CMLL World Middleweight Championship on the line against Rey Escorpión in a Best two-out-of-three falls match between the two. In the end Dragón Rojo Jr. proved successful on the night, defeating his rival two falls to one, keeping his championship safe. The third match of the night also features a Juicio Final rematch of sorts as La Seductora worked her first match unmasked after having lost it to the team of Marcela and Princesa Sujei a week prior. Goya Kong, Marcela and Princes Sujei proved successful, defeating La Seductora, La Amapola and Zeuxis two falls to one.

The August 15, 2014 Super Viernes professional wrestling show hosted the beginning of Mexican wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL)'s annual Universal Championship tournament, a tradition dating back to 2009. The tournament featured 16 CMLL champions with two qualifying rounds of eight to determine who would move on to the finals. Each qualifying block consisted of seven one-fall singles matches in an elimination match format to determine a finalist. For these types of tournaments CMLL usually starts out with an eight-man Battle Royal, booked to give a senese of randomness in the first round pairs. The Battle Royal determines the order with the first two wrestlers eliminating facing off in the first match of the first round, the third and fourth man eliminated would face off in the second match, the fifth and sixth man eliminated would face off in the third match and the remaining two wrestlers, the winners of the Battle Royal, would face off in the fourth and final first round match of the night. The tournament itself took up eight of the thirteen matches on the show and ended with La Sombra pinning Shocker to advance to the tournament finals two weeks later.

The main event of the August 15 show was the first in-ring meeting of Atlantis and Último Guerrero after they finally got approval to both put their masks on the line in a Lucha de Apuestas or bet match that would be the main event of the CMLL 81st Anniversary Show. The match would be the culmination of a long running storyline rivalry between the two with the August 15 match service to further the tension between the two. Atlantis teamed up with Diamante Azul and Marco Corleone to face and defeat Guerrero and his Los Guerreros Laguneros team that also included Gran Guerrero and Niebla Roja, two falls to one.

The August 21, 2014 Super Viernes professional wrestling show hosted the second round of Mexican wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL)'s annual Universal Championship tournament, a tradition dating back to 2009. The tournament featured 16 CMLL champions with two qualifying rounds of eight to determine who would move on to the finals. Each qualifying block consisted of seven one-fall singles matches in an elimination match format to determine a finalist. For these types of tournaments CMLL usually starts out with an eight-man Battle Royal, booked to give a senese of randomness in the first round pairs. The Battle Royal determines the order with the first two wrestlers eliminating facing off in the first match of the first round, the third and fourth man eliminated would face off in the second match, the fifth and sixth man eliminated would face off in the third match and the remaining two wrestlers, the winners of the Battle Royal, would face off in the fourth and final first round match of the night. The tournament itself took up eight of the thirteen matches on the show and ended with Último Guerrero defeating Volador Jr. to advance to the tournament final the following week.

The main event match was another chapter in a long running storyline feud between the group known as Los Ingobernables ("The Unruly"; La Máscara, La Sombra and Rush) and the reigning CMLL World Tag Team Champions Negro Casas and Shocker, who teamed up with Rey Escorpión for the match. Los Ingorbernables was a group that did not conform to the stricter tecnico definition that CMLL traditionally uses, referring to themselves as tecnico diferents, wrestling a rougher style and not playing to the crowd for cheers during their matches. Shocker and Negro Casas has defeated Rush and La Máscara to win the titles on a past Super Viernes and Rush had defeated both Shocker and Negro Casas in high-profile Lucha de Apuestas, or bet matches, forcing them both to have their hair shaved off as a result.^[1][6][13] On the night Los Ingobernables defeated the champions and Rey Escorpión two falls to one and Rush & La Máscara would receive a title opportunity at the CMLL 81st Anniversary Show as the storyline developed.^[14]
