Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for January 11, 2017

Dario Cueto tells Mr. Delgado that Cage is enjoying the gauntlet. Delgado says that they will be gods amongst men. Suddenly, El Dragon Azteca Jr. shows up, wanting a match against Matanza Cueto tonight. Delgado likes the idea, saying El Dragon Azteca Jr. has balls. El Dragon Azteca goes one better, saying he wants Matanza in a Death Match. Delgado says he'll drink to that, and Dario makes it the main event.

Vampiro tells Prince Puma that his time will come before the next match.

Texano beats Joey Ryan. During the match, Famous B and Brenda show up dressed up like cowboys, trying to make Texano a deal he can't refuse as well as to help Texano win with the use of a golden horseshoe as a weapon while Famous B tries to keep Joey Ryan from using Texano's bullwhip as a weapon. After the match, Joey Ryan pushes Famous B to the mat.

Johnny Mundo is in the ring along with Jack Evans and "The Darewolf" PJ Black. He gives a shout-out to Taya, who is working on his documentary. He then calls himself "the mayor of Slamtown" and "the face of Lucha Underground," and says the fans have no choice but to call him Lucha Underground Champion. He talks about how he came to Lucha Underground as its only star and beat everyone who got in his way, and says the fans never believed in him. He says nobody believed except for Black and Evans, whom he calls the best friends he could ever ask for before asking them to leave as he needs the ring to himself. Mundo then calls out The Mack, whom he calls "Sto-mack" due to his gut, and tells him he's not built to last all night long and doesn't deserve to be in the same ring as him. He says The Mack should be sitting on a couch eating Funyuns, and says that the ring is his world. He tells the fans, especially The Mack, will believe that. As Mundo gloats, The Mack runs into the ring and attacks Mundo. Black and Evans run back into the ring and gang up on The Mack soon after, but The Mack fights back and overpowers both men with a Stone Cold Stunner to each one before focusing on Mundo. Mundo sics security on The Mack, who pull The Mack off of him before he fights them all off, too. Mack then picks up the Lucha Underground Championship and the microphone, and tells Mundo that the title is going to be his and that he's going to whup his ass all night long.

Cage - now arriving tot he ring with the gauntlet - quickly beats the debuting Veneno. Cage almost beats up the referee after the match. After the match, Sexy Star confronts Veneno, saying in Spanish "It was you!" She stomps on him and then says "Stay the hell away from me!"

We see Prince Puma in the training room as he thinks back on the recent events involving Vampiro and Mil Muertes. Catrina shows up and tells Puma it's never the same once he dies, and when one crosses over from the spirit realm, the voices come with him. Prince Puma says he has visions of blood and pain, but the visions of pain aren't his; they're Mil Muertes. Catrina says she has had a similar vision, but the blood is Prince Puma's. She then disappears, then Puma continues to train.

Matanza Cueto beats El Dragon Azteca Jr. in a Death Match after Matanza tosses El Dragon Azteca Jr. through some wooden bleachers and onto the concrete floor below. Rey Mysterio, Jr. shows up to check on El Dragon Azteca Jr., but Matanza rushes up the stairs and fights Rey in the crowd until Rey sends him crashing through the roof of Dario's office. Dario then rings the ring bell, telling everyone to get out of the temple.

The mid-season finale ends with Melissa Santos leaving the temple after meeting with some fans. We also see Marty "The Moth" Martinez, who is suddenly kidnapped. When he comes to, we find out that he is tied up with rope and is held hostage by his sister Mariposa, who says that Marty has grown and has finally seen the light. She slaps him n the face, but all Marty does is laugh and say "I did good."

Here are the highlights from tonight's show!
