Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for March 23, 2016

Before Lucha Underground went on the air tonight, El Rey Network uploaded a YouTube-exclusive four-way dance. At the start of this match, Catrina announced that the four participants - Joey Ryan, Mr. Cisco, Cortez Castro and Killshot - would be fighting for the last spot in Aztec Warfare. In the end, Joey Ryan would steal a victory from Killshot to go on to Aztec Warfare.



Pentagon Jr. tells Fenix that he's taking the Lucha Underground title. Catrina appears and says that his master may be teaching him the dark arts, but he doesn't know the darkness. We also find out that Pentagon Jr. is not in Aztec Warfare for putting his hands on Catrina. Pentagon Jr. doesn't care, as he only cares about doing his master's bidding and he has zero fear. Catrina says the only reason Pentagon Jr. has zero fear is that he does not know true fear. As for Fenix, Catrina tells him that Mil Muertes is taking the Lucha Underground title back. Catrina disappears, and both Fenix and Pentagon Jr. look at each other before they leave the locker room.

Famous B is seen watching Aztec Warfare from ringside, scouting the competition.

Rey Mysterio, Jr. makes his Lucha Underground debut in this match, coming in at #2. Dragon Azteca, Jr. debuts alongside him at #18. Argenis makes his return to the temple at #4, as does Mascarita Sagrada at #12 and Aerostar at #17.

When Joey Ryan shows up at #6, he handcuffs himself to the stands to keep himself from being eliminated. Famous B hands Ryan his business card, and Ryan also suffers some embarrassing abuse from the 19 other competitors.

Drago and Jack Evans' fight goes all over the temple, including the stands. It gets even more nuts when "The Darewolf" P.J. Black joins in.

When Mil Muertes shows up at #20, he is attacked from behind with a steel chair by Pentagon Jr. This leads to his eventual elimination, and Catrina slaps Vampiro for being in the temple as she tells him to get out.

After Mil Muertes is eliminated, the countdown clock runs one more time, and Matt Stryker chalks it up to a technical glitch. When it hits zero, however, Dario Cueto returns to reclaim his temple. He then introduces Entrant #21: his brother, Matanza Cueto. The beast - Dario Cueto's own brother - is finally unleashed on Lucha Underground...and Fenix is the first person he eliminates. He also frees Joey Ryan from the stands before he eliminates him as well. Everyone seemingly lines up to be slaughtered as Matanza eliminates all comers to become the new Lucha Underground Champion.
