On November 7, 2015, WWC resumed the angle with Del Rio, beginning with a segment where he assaulted his son during a training session at Texas Wrestling Academy, citing it as payback for his father injuring Rodriguez. The skit was filmed before the former returned to WWE, but was given continuity. This was the only external appearance cleared by the promotion after the enactment of a new contract, even superseding his remaining compromises as the incumbent Mega Champion of AAA. The following day, González challenged Del Rio to a match. The promotion of the event focused on the vindictiveness that fueled the training of the former, and also included an interview where the latter expressed confidence. The script of both wrestlers took on a nationalistic approach, including external elements such as the Mexico–Puerto Rico boxing rivalry, as well as a recap of Pierroth's run in WWC. On December 5, 2015, González defeated Del Rio by disqualification at Lockout.
