Mask vs. Mask: Sin Caras Duel on SmackDown in Mexico City
Both Sin Cara Azul and Sin Cara Negro will put their identity on the line in a Mask vs. Mask Match on Friday Night SmackDown, emanating from the Palacio De Los Deportes in Mexico City.
Ever since September, when it was revealed that two Sin Caras were competing in WWE, tensions have escalated, including multiple physical confrontations.
Sin Cara Azul earned bragging rights over his twin, defeating Sin Cara Negro in their match at WWE Hell in a Cell, but the match was so closely contested that the question as to who the superior Superstar is still remains unanswered.
After Hell in a Cell, the darker luchador has repeatedly attacked his blue counterpart, leading to this Mask vs. Mask match-up in the Mexican capital.

Jim Ross Returns to Raw in Mexico City, Competes in Tag Team Match
Jim Ross is back! After unceremoniously firing Good Ol’ J.R. last week in his home state of Oklahoma, John Laurinaitis appeared to have had a change of heart.
After an overwhelmingly negative response from the WWE Universe on his Twitter account (@WWERawGM), the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Interim General Manager of Raw invited Ross to Mexico during WWE’s tour of the country.
At a taping of the Raw SuperShow in Mexico City on Saturday, Laurinaitis invited Ross to once again be a part of Raw.
But instead of saddling up at the announce desk, J.R. was put in a tag team match. The WWE Hall of Famer teamed with John Cena to take on WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio and his partner – and Ross nemesis – Michael Cole.
