An Xtreme Pro Wrestling (XPW) reunion show called Perros del Mal vs. XPW: Xtremo y Sangriento, also known simply as Perros del Mal vs. XPW, was held on August 20, 2011, in Tultitlán, Mexico. This was the third XPW reunion show held since 2008 and the first to be co-promoted with Mexican lucha libre promotion Perros del Mal.[1] The event took place at Central de Refacciones, a local junk yard. EventSemi-main event matchIn the semi-main event match, Lolita defeated Sexy Star in a 2-out-of-3 falls stripping match.

After the match, Damián announced his intentions to retire but asked for one last match against Supreme, in an electrified cage where the XPW King of the Deathmatch Championship would be on the line.[4] AftermathPerros del Mal vs. XPW was the final XPW reunion show to be held. In the aftermath of the event, MEXPW, a promotion that billed itself as a successor to XPW, was founded by Damián 666 and former XPW producer Mike Hartsfield.[5] The promotion's roster was made up of XPW alumni as well as wrestlers from the Californian and Mexican independent circuits.[5] While Supreme and Damián would not have an electrified cage match, the two would have an electrified ropes death match on a Desastre Total Ultraviolento event for the MEXPW King of the Deathmatch Championship on July 3, 2012.[6][7] MEXPW later changed its name to MEXPRO Wrestling (MPW),[8] this was a result of legal action from Big Vision Entertainment, the-then owners of XPW.[9][10] MPW ceased running events in 2013;[8] Perros del Mal ceased running shows in 2015.[11] In 2012, ownership of XPW was transferred from Big Vision Entertainment to Rob Black's Extreme Gifts company. In 2021, XPW was featured on Vice's Dark Side of the Ring series. In response to the coverage from Dark Side of the Ring, Black announced in the summer of 2021 that he would be relaunching the promotion, basing it out of Rochester, New York. The first event of the revived XPW, Rebirth, was held on November 7. Results
