The match narrowly surpassed theofficial Guinness World Recordof 21 hours, 44 minutes, and 34 seconds set in Japan by Ehime Pro Wrestling in 2021. In a tense moment, Benito kicked out of a piledriver just seconds before they would have failed to break the record, keeping the dream alive.

Multiple referees worked in shifts to keep the match going, with fans able to watch for free on Twitch.
