In July 2010, the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) held a total of five CMLL Super Viernes shows, all of which will take place Arena México on Friday nights. CMLL will not hold any special events on Fridays that would force a cancellation such as a pay-per-view (PPV). Some of the matches from Super Viernes are taped for CMLL's weekly shows that air in Mexico the week following the Super Viernes show. Super Viernes often features storyline feud between two wrestlers or group of wrestlers that develop from week to week, often coming to a conclusion at a major CMLL event or in a match on Friday nights between the individuals. SuperViernes featurede 36 matches in total, due to the July 30 event featuring 12 matches in total, including one Mini-Estrella and four matches from CMLL's women's division. Místico and La Sombra were the only wrestlers to work on four out of the five Super Viernes shows.

Part of July was spent focusing on the storylines that lead up to a 12-man steel cage match that took place on July 18, 2010 at CMLL's 2010 Infierno en el Ring event. The particular focus was on the feud between Fabián el Gitano and Doctor X as well as the developing tension between Los Ángeles Celestiales (Ángel de Oro and Ángel de Plata) and Los Gatos Negros (Tiger Kid and Puma King). Another feud that led up to the event, but did not culminate with the Infierno en el Ring match was the developing feud between Ángel Azteca, Jr. and Arkangel de la Muerte, playing off the fact that Arkangel was the wrestler that unmasked Ángel Azteca. July was also the month where the Los Invasores group really showed up on Super Viernes, including the co-leaders Mr. Águila and Héctor Garza winning the CMLL World Tag Team Championship from Volador Jr. and La Sombra. Another feud that began in July was between CMLL loyal Místico and Invasor Psicosis II, a feud that started on July 16, 2010 and featured on all subsequent Super Viernes shows in July. The July 30, 2010 hosted the first round of the 2010 CMLL Universal Championship tournament which La Sombra won to qualify for the finals on August 13, 2010.

July 2, 2010

The July 2 Super Viernes featured the traditional format of six matches including a Lighting match and an opening tag team match and four Best two out of three falls Six-man tag team matches. The main event was a re-match from the previous week's Super Viernes as La Peste Negra (Negro Casas, El Felino and Mr. Niebla) wrestled against Místico, La Sombra and Shocker. Místico and La Sombra came out wearing combined outfits and masks, putting their recent tension behind them. The previous week Mr. Niebla had faked a foul from La Sombra to earn the victory, this week Mr. Niebla and La Sombra picked up their rivalry where they left off the previous week. Niebla pinned La Sombra and El Felino forced Místico to submit to win the first fall. During the second fall the tecnico (good guy) team finally gained the advantage as Místico pinned El Felino and Shocker forced Negro Casas to submit after 4:50 seconds of wrestling. The last fall lasted just over six minutes, making the main event the longest match of the night at 16:11 and ended when Mr. Niebla intentionally yanked La Sombra's mask off in plain view of the referee to earn a disqualification loss. After the match Mr. Niebla celebrated with La Sombra's mask in his hands as a trophy of his cheating actions.

In the semi-main event New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Jushin Thunder Liger teamed up with La Ola Amarilla ("The Yellow Wave") team of Okumura and Nobuo Yoshihashi for the first time during his tour of Mexico. The Japanese trio's opponents were cousins La Máscara and Máximo teaming up with Toscano to represent Mexico. Liger won the first fall when he pinned La Máscara in just over 5 minutes. 3:19 later La Máscara evened the score when he forced Liger to submit to his Campana submission hold. In the final fall the long running feud between Máximo and Okumura took center stage as Máximo tried to get revenge from a hair vs. hair match loss from 2009. The Mexican team took the victory when Máximo pinned Okumura following a Powerbomb and Toscano pinned Yoshihashi to make it 2-1 in their advantage.

The fourth match of the night featured CMLL's women's division as CMLL World Women's Champion La Amapola teamed up with Las Zorras (PWR Women's Champion Princesa Sujei and Mexican National Women's Champion Princesa Blanca) to face three of CMLL's most experienced women in Lady Apache, Marcela and Luna Mágica. The championship team was too much for Lady Apache and her team as the rudas (villains) team defeated Lady Apache, Marcela and Luna Mágica in two straight falls.

Fuego, together with Stuka, Jr. were the current CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Champions with members of Los Cancerberos del Infierno trying to earn a title match for some time. In the lightning match Fuego faced Los Cancerberos member Cancerbero, in a match with a one fall, 10 minute time limit. Fuego only needed 6 minutes and 26 seconds to defeat the experienced rudo, forcing him to submit to a Muta Lock.

The second match of the night continued the series of mid-card feuds that all centered around Lucha de Apuesta, mask vs. mask challenges that would later on lead to a 12-man cage match at Infierno en el Ring. Fabián el Gitano's feud with Doctor X continued this week with Dr. X's Guerreros Tuareg partner Arkangel de la Muerte played the antagonist role as he teamed up with Los Gatos Negros (Puma King and Tiger Kid) for the second week in a row. Los Gatos Negros focused on Fabián's partner Sensei, tearing his mask open during the match. In the end Fabián, Sensei and Molotov won the match in two falls when Arkangel and Los Gatos were disqualified for pulling the mask off Sensei.

In the opening match veteran Luchador tecnico Tigre Blanco teamed up with Metálico to take on the rudo team of Disturbio and Semental who have teamed up several times through 2010. After 10:53 of wrestling the tecnico team won two falls to one.

July 9, 2010

Mexico City suffered heavy rain-fall and some flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Alex which affected the attendance for CMLL's Friday night show, estimated to be under 50% full. The July 9, 2010, Super Viernes saw former Perros del Mal members Mr. Águila and Héctor Garza team up for the first time since January 2008 in the main event of the show. With the addition of Olímpico to their side, the match also marked the first time Los Invasores (a group of former Asistencia Asesoría y Administración wrestlers) appeared on CMLL's Super Viernes show. Their opponents were the CMLL World Tag Team Champions Volador Jr. and La Sombra, teaming up with La Máscara. In early June, 2010 Volador Jr. had turned rudo (bad guy) and the tag team champions had not teamed up since then, leaving their status as a unit in question. Los Invasores dominated the first fall, cheating at every opportunity to keep the Tag Team champions under control. Olímpico scored the first pin-fall, pinning Volador Jr. after a Plancha. the tecnico (good guy) team took control of the second fall with their high-flying moves and superior speed, with La Máscara forcing Olímpico to submit to his La Campana Pendulum submission hold, tying the score one to one. In the third fall, the tecnico team kept relying on their high-flying moves, which ultimately resulted in their downfall as Mr. Águila caught La Sombra while trying to execute a flying move and Powerbombed him, followed by Garza raising his foot in the air, interrupting Volador Jr.'s Moonsault to gain a double pinfall on the tag team champions to win the match for Los Invasores. After the match, Mr. Águila and Garza laid out a challenge for the CMLL World Tag Team Championship, which Volador Jr. and La Sombra quickly accepted. The title match was announced as the following week's Super Viernes main event.

The semi-main event was a rare rudo vs rudo match as La Peste Negra (Negro Casas, El Felino and Mr. Niebla) wrestled New Japan Pro-Wrestling's (NJPW) Jushin Thunder Liger and Los Hijos del Averno (Averno and Mephstio). CMLL booked the match to further the feud between Negro Casas and Liger which had begun during Negro Casas' tour of Japan in April where he wrestled Liger on several occasions, including losing the CMLL World Middleweight Championship to him. Liger had gotten the better of Casas in Japan and continued to have the upper hand when they clashed in Mexico for the first time as Liger pinned both Negro Casas and El Felino to win the first fall. Mr. Niebla had Liger pinned for the second fall but Liger's teammate Averno distracted the referee, allowing Liger ample time to pull Mr. Niebla's mask off to distract him, followed by a low blow which allowed Liger to pin Mr. Niebla, winning the match for his team in two straight falls.

In the fourth match of the night, Mexican National Welterweight Champion Valiente teamed up with frequent partner El Sagrado and the Exótico Máximo to face La Ola Amarilla ("The Yellow Wave") consisting of Shigeo Okumura and NJPW rookie Nobuo Yoshihashi teaming up with Vangelis on the night. Máximo and Okumura has had a long running rivalry that included Máximo losing his hair to Okumura in 2009, a rivalry that continued on this night with Máximo looking for a hair vs. hair match down the line. On the night Valiente, Sagrado and Máximo turned out to be too much of a challenge as they won the match in 12:27.

That night's Lighting match featured the long-running rivalry between Mascarita Dorada and Pierrothito that has seen the two wrestle against each other in both Mexico and the United States of America and has been going on since 2008. The two being so accustomed to working with one another has reduced a series of high-speed match that the fans respond to and the Lighting match on July 9 was no different as the two worked a very competitive match that looked like it could go to the 10 minute time limit. Mascarita Dorada managed to win the match with just 14 seconds left on the clock as he pinned Pierrotitho at 9:46.

The second match of the evening featured four of the 12 wrestlers scheduled to wrestling in a 12-man Infierno en el Ring cage match on July 18, 2010, as Diamante and Sensei teamed up with Molotov (not in the match) to take on Sensei's main rivals Los Gatos Negros (Puma King and Tiger Kid) who teamed up with the Durango Kid (also not scheduled for the cage match). Diamante's team won the first fall by pinfall and was subsequently also awarded the second fall as Tiger Kid and Puma King pulled Sensei's mask off during the match.

In the opening match, Horus, grandson of luchador Ángel Blanco, teamed up with Bengala, defeating the brother duo known as Los Hombres del Camoflaje ("The Camouflage Men"), Súper Comando and Artillero. The opening match also was the longest match of the night as Horus and Bengala won the match in 13:55, 46 seconds longer than the second longest match.
