Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for August 15, 2018

Antonio Cueto is in his office when he receives a invitation to Johnny Mundo's wedding. He sets it to the side, and says the marriage will never last. Suddenly, Kobra Moon shows up, and demands a rematch for the Lucha Underground Trios Championships for The Reptile Tribe (Kobra Moon, Daga, Jeremiah Snake) that they never got at Ultima Lucha, and says the titles are rightfully there. Antonio Cueto mentions The Reptile Tribe's big loss last week as well as the one at Ultima Lucha Tres. Kobra Moon says she has made her ranks stronger and deadlier than ever, but Antonio Cueto jokes that Drago is "Dra-gone." Kobra Moon says they do not need Drago to prosper and that she will prove that, then demands the rematch for the Trios title. Antonio says that a woman's scorn is a side he loves to see, and tells her that she has her rematch for tonight's main event in a Tornado rules match. Kobra Moon then slithers out of the office like a snake when Antonio Cueto tells her to leave.

Before the next match, Antonio Cueto notices The Rabbit Tribe (Paul London and Saltador) is back again. Paul London says that last week, Mala Suerte proved that he did not, in fact, do it like a rabbit, and that a true rabbit would never take a beating like he did. He then asks for a chance at retribution, and says that Saltador will show Antonio what a true rabbit will do. Antonio Cueto tells Saltador he is not jumping anywhere, as he has been chosen to be the next sacrifice to the gods. "The Monster" Matanaza Cueto shows up, and Paul London keeps Saltador from leaving the ring.

"The Monster" Matanza Cueto beats Saltador, then Saltador is sacrificed to the gods. After the match, Paul London is seen showing happiness at Saltador's sacrifice. (Throughout the match, a priest is seen in the audience a few times in close-up shots, he is referred to near the end of the show as "Father Rick O'Shea of Our Lady of Boyle Heights," a reference to Prince Puma, aka Ricochet, who is now in NXT. He is also mentioned earlier in the show as being in the temple to officiate the wedding between Johnny Mundo and Taya.)

In the locker room, The Mack and Son of Havoc are waiting for Killshot, whom Son of Havoc considers unlikable. Killshot shows up and says he likes Son of Havoc just fine, but he does not respect him because he was handed one-third of the Trios titles on a silver platter and he certainly does not respect Son of Havoc trying to turn The Mack against him. The Mack says that is not true, but Killshot tells The Mack that he made it clear where he stood by pinning him instead of Son of Havoc and carrying Son of Havoc to the Gift of the Gods match, then mentions that neither man won the title. Tonight, he will not fail. The Mack then mentions their Trios title defense, but Killshot takes that as The Mack only caring about the gold and not him, and says that he hopes they retain the titles in the main event. He leaves, but not before turning around and telling Son of Havoc that he was right when he said he didn't like him.

Next week, Pentagon Dark will defend the Lucha Underground Championship against Cage in a Last Man or Machine Standing Match.

El Dragon Azteca Jr. retains the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Championship against Killshot.

Outside of the temple, Drago is sitting on top of the temple when Aerostar shows up and mentions that Dragon has hidden himself ever since he was freed from The Reptile Tribe (Kobra Moon, Daga, Jeremiah Snake). Drago says he does not deserve this second chance, as he did things as part of the tribe that can never be forgiven. Aerostar tells Drago that was Kobra Moon pulling string that have since been severed. Drago says he does not remember much, but he fells that he is no longer deserving of his friendship. Drago then gets up to leave, and asks for Aerostar's forgiveness, and when Aerostar says "Until we meet again," Drago says he is not so sure before leaving in a pillar of fire. Aerostar then tells himself that he is sure they will meet again.

Killshot does not show up with The Mack and Killshot before the next match; he does not show up until a little later in the match..

The Reptile Tribe (Kobra Moon, Daga, Jeremiah Snake) beat The Mack, Killshot and Son of Havoc to become the new Lucha Underground Trios Championships after Killshot pushes Son of Havoc off the top rope following a double foot stomp from the top rope by Son of Havoc to break a submission hold by Jeremiah Snake that breaks a submission hold by Jeremiah Snake. After the match, Killshot sits in front of a downed Son of Havoc, asking him why he cannot get up, and blaming him for the loss of the Trios titles. As Son of Havoc holds his right shoulder, Killshot goes up top and hits him with a double foot stomp for wanting to get up off the mat, and when The Mack confronts Killshot, Killshot responds with "Oh, now you give a shit?" He leaves the ring while The Mack tends to Son of Havoc.

Cage shows up. He says that next week, Pentagon Dark will figure out why he is a machine and not a man. Suddenly, Pentagon Dark sprints to the ring and brawls with Cage. In the brouhaha, a fan gets superkicked as the brawl goes into the crowd, and when Pentagon Dark takes a guitar from one of the members of Metalachi in the balcony, the guitarist gets his instrument smashed into his head courtesy of Pentagon Dark. A member of security on the balcony gets in the way, but he gets slammed on the balcony floor by Cage. As the brawl makes its way back into the ring, Cage bumps into Father Rick O'Shea, and O'Shea is almost beaten up by Cage when Pentagon Dark hits Cage with a steel chair. When Father O'Shea praises Pentagon Dark for saving him, Cage thanks him by breaking his arm. The show ends with Pentagon Dark and Cage still brawling.

The Mack walks into Antonio Cueto's office, wanting a match with Killshot. Antonio Cueto says he he wants to see that match, but he has already booked him in a match for next week that has been asked for specifically by Catrinia. He tells The Mack that he will face Mil Muertes next week in the first ever Haunted House Match as he puts on a witch's ass. The Mack takes the hat off Antonio Cueto's head and wears it himself as he says that if this is what it takes to get Mil Muertes off his back, then all he has to say is "Trick or treat, motherfucker." (The show ends before the epithet can be fully enunciated.)
