Worldwide Underground Seeks Revenge

After a recap, Johnny Mundo held an emergency meeting with the Worldwide Underground to discuss revenge against the Reptile Tribe. He noted that Jack Evans is going to wrestle tonight and that he wanted him to call out the snakes. Evans said he won’t, because he’s afraid of snakes and had a “colonics” appointment to get to.

Taya Valkyrie and the others made fun of him a little bit. Mundo said he owed Angelico an ass beating. The doll told Ricky Mundo, “Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.” Ricky had an evil smile after that.

XO Lishus defeated Jack Evans

Matt Striker and Vampiro kicked it off, hyping up the Three-Way to the Grave match later in the show. With Evans in the ring, the debuting XO Lishus (Sonny Kiss) made a very over-the-top entrance for a singles match. Evans stole the mic from Melissa Santos and introduced himself to a tepid heel reaction.

Lishus opened with some acrobatic moves and then hit a hurricane handspring slap. Evans countered the colorful style of Lishus with heel offense until Lishus hit a huge dive to the outside and twerked for the Believers. Evans applied mostly rest holds and slow-paced offense.

Evans mocked Lishus with the handspring into an eye gouge and continued the onslaught. Lishus made a comeback and climbed to the top rope. Evans kicked him, but Lishus fought back and hit a top rope split-out X-Factor for the upset victory.

Pentagon Dark Promo

After the commercial, Pentagon Dark stood in the ring with the title and cut a promo in Spanish. He talked about how he won Aztec Warfare against 19 other competitors and overcame Matanza Cueto. He said anybody else who wants the title will fail, too.

Cage ran out from the back and attacked Pentagon by surprise, beating him down in the middle of the ring. He nailed the champion with the title, then pulled a table out from beneath the ring. Cage drug Pentagon to the apron and powerbombed him through the table. He got on the mic and said that he’s gunning for the Lucha Underground Championship.

Three-Way to the Grave Match: Mil Muertes defeated Jeremiah Crane and Fenix

Santos came out to ominous-sounding music and a cool eerie green lighting effect. She explained the rules of the match. Striker put over the idea that this match was Mil Muertes’ specialty and that he’d be hard to beat.

There were some fast-paced lucha spots to start it off. Fenix carried the match early with a lot of high-risk offense.

Muertes chokeslammed Crane on one of the caskets on the outside. Crane hit a springboard splash off the back of Fenix onto Muertes, then powerbombed him through a table.

Muertes somehow wound up in the back, popping out of a door and continuing to beat up Crane on the bleacher risers. Meanwhile, Fenix climbed to the eagle’s nest-style area as Muertes and Crane fought. Fenix hit them both with an insane crossbody.

Muertes put Crane on the top rope and went for a suplex, but Fenix stopped him with a kick to the kidneys. Fenix went for a Frankensteiner from the top, but Crane tossed him out of the ring, where he landed on Muertes, putting him through a table.

Crane hit a piledriver while jumping backwards on Fenix through a table and rolled him into a casket. Crane pointed at Catrina, who pointed back at him. Before he could shut it, Ivelisse came out and busted him open with the hammer, knocking Crane into the coffin and shutting it, eliminating Crane.

Muertes beat on Fenix as Santos looked distraught. Fenix got busted open but kept fighting back.

They exchanged offense, as Fenix continued to fight back and overcome the odds. Finally, Muertes caught him with a flatliner when he attempted a top rope attack. Muertes drug him to the apron and opened a coffin. He fireman carried Fenix and placed him in the casket, slamming it shut for the victory.

Santos reluctantly announced Mil Muertes as the winner as Catrina and Muertes celebrated their victory.

Season 3 — Episode 24: “Macho Madness”

The Cueto Cup continued on the latest installment of Lucha Underground. Killshot and Jeremiah Crane tried to tear the house down with a wild match. In another match, Mil Muertes destroyed an opponent only to get destroyed later on.

Elsewhere, Paul London used a carrot as a weapon and Taya tangled with Joey Ryan. A new character also debuted in the final scene.

The episode opened with a scene featuring Catrina summoning Mil Muertes. In reference to the Cueto Cup, she instructed him to “destroy them all.” Muertes said he would destroy them for her, his love. Catrina kissed him and said, “Bring me the Cueto Cup.”

Mil Muertes (w/ Catrina) defeated Veneno to advance in the Cueto Cup

Muertes won in a complete squash as he ragdolled his opponent. He pummeled Veneno with ground and pound before executing a flatliner. Muertes then pinned him. After the match, Catrina administered the Lick of Death.

Paul London defeated Vibora (w/ Kobra Moon) via countout to advance in the Cueto Cup

London attacked Vibora before the bell, then flew through the ropes with a dropkick. Vibora began to no-sell London’s assault, so London grabbed Kobra Moon. He briefly held her hostage with a carrot (yes, a carrot). Vibora struck down London and the crowd chanted “save the carrot.”

Vibora began to dominate on offense when London briefly fired up. That led to London being tossed off the top rope, and he crashed down on the mat. That would not be his last crash in the match.

Members of the Rabbit Tribe ran in to cause a distraction. That allowed London to send Vibora over the ropes with a headscissors takeover. London went for a trust fall and landed badly.

With the crowd chanting for him, London rolled back in the ring. Rabbit Tribe members hiding under the ring grabbed Vibora’s legs and he was unable to get back into the ring before being counted out.

Taya defeated Joey Ryan to advance in the Cueto Cup

At the start, Ryan offered Taya his lollipop after rubbing it on his oily chest. She smacked it away and attacked him. When Ryan took a powder, Taya grabbed him by his chest hair to throw him back into the ring. Ryan cut her off and began administering some clubbing blows.

Ryan climbed the turnbuckles, but took too much time in doing so. Taya made a comeback that began with hard chops and slaps. After some counters and exchanges, Taya executed a northern lights suplex. She then leapt into a double foot stomp and pinned Ryan.

In a scene from the locker room, Mil Muertes was about to head somewhere dressed in a suit. Suddenly, Jeremiah Crane attacked Muertes with a chair. Crane delivered several chair shots and left him laying. Crane knelt over a prone Muertes to say, “She’s mine.” That was a reference to Catrina, whom Crane came on to in the past. Crane put a chair over him and hit it with another chair as the scene ended.

In the weekly countdown video hyping Johnny Mundo against Rey Mysterio in a title match, the focus was interviews with several Lucha Underground stars including Chavo Guerrero Jr., Cage, Prince Puma, and Matt Striker. They all put over Mundo and Mysterio, and gave their picks on who will win the upcoming Lucha Underground Championship match.

Jeremiah Crane defeated Killshot to advance in the Cueto Cup

This was a wild match that took place outside the ring more so than in it during the first half of the bout. Mere seconds into the match, Killshot did a suicide dive through the ropes. Crane countered with a Fosbury Flop. In return, Killshot did a flop of his own. They then began brawling around ringside.

Killshot did a dive off a stage. Moments later, Crane gave Killshot an exploder suplex on the floor. Crane then ran around the ring as he built up speed before launching into a cannonball that took out the front rows of ringside.

When they finally got back in the ring, Killshot countered Crane with a sunset bomb for a near fall. Crane cut him off, and he charged into a corner with a kick (similar to a Broski Boot).

They began trading near falls. Killshot fired up and hit a cutter for a near fall. Crane delivered a brutal brainbuster for a near fall. They went back and forth in the closing moments, leading to a double down.

Out on the apron, Killshot dropped Crane onto the edge of the ring with a Death Valley Driver. Killshot followed that by climbing to the top rope, and he jumped off into a double foot stomp for yet another near fall.

Crane spat on Killshot, which only fired him up. Killshot exploded into a flurry of strikes. A “fight forever” chant broke out in The Temple. Killshot did a swinging DDT for another near fall. Crane got a rope break after Killshot applied a short arm scissors.

Dante Fox appeared in the rafters like he was Sting, without all the Crow gimmickry. The appearance of Fox distracted Killshot. Crane capitalized on the distraction. He delivered a double underhook powerbomb for the deciding pinfall.

After the match, Catrina stood at the top of the staircase. She had a staredown with Crane as the credits began to roll.

The closing scene featured Dario Cueto in his office explaining the Cueto Cup to someone else. That someone was a masked man named Son of Madness. He wanted a match with Son of Havoc.

It just so happened that Son of Havoc was the only person not booked for a tournament match. Cueto obliged by booking a tournament match between the two for next week. Son of Madness has arrived. Oh yeah, dig it.
