The Promociones Gutiérrez 1st Anniversary Show was a professional wrestling supercard event promoted by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and Promociones Gutierrez, CMLL's local promoter in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The event took place on July 12, 2010 at the Plaza de Toros Lauro Luis Longoria bullring and commemorated the 1st anniversary of Promociones Gutierrez. The focal point of the event was a Ruleta de la Muerte (Spanish for "Roulette of Death") tournament, in which five teams of Parejas Incredibles (teams of enemies) participate in an elimination match to see which team would have to face off in a Lucha de Apuestas, mask vs. mask match. The team of Místico and El Oriental lost the Ruleta de la Muerte and was forced to wrestle each other immediately after the Ruleta match. In the end Místico defeated El Oriental to unmask him.
The most notable event of the show was not a wrestling match, but the appearance of Dr. Wagner Jr. after the fourth match of the evening. Dr. Wagner Jr. worked for CMLL's main rival Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) at the time and held their AAA Mega Championship. He wore the championship belt during the surprise appearance at the CMLL event, making it at least seem like he had left AAA with the belt. After the show Dr. Wagner Jr. denied being on bad terms with AAA, although he did not actually have a contract with them.
On April 12, 2010 a contingent of former Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) wrestlers including Psicosis, Histeria, Maniaco, El Alebrije and Cuije appeared on a Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) show in Puebla, Puebla. The group drown into the arena in a black SUV and attacked La Sombra, El Hijo del Fantasma and La Máscara after they just finished wrestling. Brazo de Plata, Místico and Jon Strongman tried to help out but were kept away by CMLL rudos Averno, El Texano Jr. and El Terrible. Following the attack the former AAA wrestlers returned to the SUV and left the arena. This was the first appearance of a group who would later be known as Los Invasores ("The Invaders") and would expand to include several other wrestlers who had once worked for AAA but now worked on the Independent circuit. The "war" between CMLL and the independent wrestlers build for months, adding such wrestlers as Cien Caras, Universo 2000, Mr. Águila and Olímpico to the group. In May former AAA wrestler El Oriental appeared on a Promociones Gutiérrez in Nuevo Laredo, working opposite several CMLL wrestlers including Místico. At first it appeared that El Oriental was just working for Promociones Gutiérrez and not CMLL, but when Oriental started a storyline feud with Místico it soon became clear he not only worked for CMLL but also was part of the Invaders storyline.
