Wrestlers portrayed themselves as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
The original main event of the 41st Anniversary Show was originally determined at IWRG's Triangular en Jaula show long-time rivals Rush, Penta 0M and L.A. Park wrestled each other in a steel cage match. The stipulation of the cage was that, the first to escape the cage would not have to return a month later to compete in the main event of the Arena Naucalpan 41st Anniversary Show. RUsh left the cage first, which meant the main event was set as L.A. Park facing Penta 0M. When the full card for the 41st anniversary show Penta Om was not listed instead LA.. Park and his son, El Hijo de L.A. Park, would face his long time rival Rey Wagner and Wagner's son El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.
