The Crash VII Aniversario or The Crash Séptimo Aniversario (Spanish for The Crash 7th Anniversary Show) was a professional wrestling supercard event, scripted and produced by the Mexican lucha libre wrestling company The Crash Lucha Libre, which took place on November 3, 2018 at Auditorio Fausto Gutierrez in The Crash's home town of Tijuana, Baja California. In the main event Rebellion Amarilla members Garza Jr. and Bestia 666 faced off in a Luchas de Apuestas, hair vs. hair match, with the storyline being that Rebellion Amarilla claimed everyone else was afraid to take their challenge. In the end Bestia 666 forced Garza Jr. to submit and afterwards had all his hair shaved off as a result.
On the undercard Willie Mack won the vacant The Crash Heavyweight Championship by defeating Bárbaro Cavernario, Michael Elgin and El Mesías. Los Lucha Bros (Penta El 0M and The King) defeated Nueva Generacio Dinamita (El Cuatrero and Sansón) and Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend) to win the vacant The Crash Tag Team Championship and X-Peria defeated Torito Negro (c), Tiago, Baby Star and Rayo Star to win The Crash Junior Championship. The show featured four additional matches
