El Protector (2013) was an annual professional wrestling major event produced by Mexican professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG), which took place on January 17, 2013, in Arena Naucalpan, Naucalpan, State of Mexico, Mexico. The 2013 El Protector was the second annual event produced under that name and held in January each year. The focal point of the show was the El Protector tag team tournament where seven teams competed for the trophy.

Background

The event featured ten professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines. The El Protector tournament is an annual single elimination tournament for tag teams that were put together specifically for the tournament, with the teams usually not teaming up on a regular basis before and after the tournament. The tournament is patterned on Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL)'s Torneo Gran Alternativa ("Great Alternative Tournament") where a young wrestler is teamed up with a veteran wrestler to help profile the young wrestlers. The tournament participants included:

Of all the teams only Hijo del Pantera and Pantera have teamed up in the past as the father/son team worked together in many matches before this show. Previous tournaments included eight teams, but for unknown reasons the 2013 tournament only had seven teams. IWRG solved the number problem by holding a "seeding" Battle Royal to determine the tournament brackets, including having the winner of the battle royal advance straight to the semi-main event. The Battle Royal included the seven "rookies" representing their teams.[1][2]
