Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for August 8, 2018

Antonio Cueto is on the telephone in his office. He says that everything is running smoothly, and that there will be another sacrifice to the gods tonight. He then hangs up the telephone, then notices Mariposa walk into his office. Mariposa says that he had heard stories about Antonio through her father, but they did not seem to do him justice. She never expected him to be so handsome in person and that she has fantasized about having a relationship with a Cueto, mostly because it was forbidden. Instead of being here to seduce him over, she is here for a Gift of the Gods title match. Antonio tells Mariposa she doesn't deserve it, but Mariposa pulls out $20,000 in $100 bills, says her family has a lot of money and that they always get what they want. Antonio takes the money, says it is the ultimate aphrodisiac, and says that he could not say no to someone as beautiful and dangerous as Mariposa, who says that she never takes no for an answer before leaving. Antonio then chugs down a bottle of beer.

Before the next match, Antonio Cueto says that he is glad that Paul London volunteered for the next match, then says that only one member of The Rabbit Tribe (Paul London, Saltador, Mala Suerte) will be allowed to compete in the next match. London picks Mala Suerte without hesitation, telling Mala Suerte that by failing the tribe, he has failed the White Rabbit, but now, he gets to prove his worth by having a little tussle. Antonio then says that Mala Suerte has been chosen to become the next sacrifice to the gods, meaning that he is the one to face "The Monster" Matanza Cueto.

"The Monster" Matanza Cueto beats Mala Suerte, then the lights flash to reveal that Mala Suerte has disappeared. During the match, stock cartoon sound effects play during Mala Suerte's attacks.

Joey Ryan and Jack Evans beat XO Lishus and Ivelisse by submission with a modified locoplata from Jack Evans to XO Lishus. After the match, Jack Evans refuses to let go of the hold, and Ivelisse has to take the boots to Jack Evans to break the hold. Joey Ryan has to get out of the ring to avoid Ivelisse's wrath, and Jack Evans says that this isn't over until XO Lishus is dead.

It is announced that El Dragon Azteca Jr. will be defending the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Championship against Mariposa after the commercial break.

El Dragon Azteca Jr. retains the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Championship against Mariposa after crossing Mariposa's legs during a roll-up.

Before the beginning of the next match, it is announced on commentary that Vibora is absent, but it is not brought up by commentary that he is dead. Kobra Moon then says that what Johnny Mundo did to Vibora was cold blooded. She likes that, and says that this is why Mundo belongs in her tribe. She then says that Mundo thought he had an advantage, but she has many subjects, and tonight, he will meet his newest one: "Jeremiah Snake," whom she has brought back from death with venom and has since been reborn. Jeremiah Crane comes out in a mask in a zombie-like state, then acts like his usual self before doing Kobra's bidding. The Worldwide Underground (Johnny Mundo, Taya Valkyrie, "The Darewolf" PJ Black, Ricky Mundo) shows up, and Johnny Mundo says he likes the last minute addition before saying he was thinking of the same time. He tells Ricky Mundo that this is one job he will not do, and says he needs someone he can trust before telling Ricky to go play with Rosa in the locker room. Mundo says he needs someone he can count on, and since Jack Evans is afraid of snakes, he needs someone who has what it takes to cut off the Reptile Tribe's heads like they did Vibora. He then introduces their new partner: Aerostar, who shows up wearing the same yellow headband as the rest of The Worldwide Underground.

The Worldwide Underground (Johnny Mundo, Taya Valkyrie, "The Darewolf" PJ Black) and Aerostar beat The Reptile Tribe (Kobra Moon, Daga, Drago and Jeremiah Snake). As per pre-match stipulations, Kobra Moon has to grant Johnny Mundo one wish, and Johnny Mundo tells Kobra Moon she owes him a wish. Mundo uses his wish for Aerostar, telling Kobra Moon that he wishes for Drago to be freed. Mundo leads a crowd chant of "Set him free!" and Kobra Moon has no choice but to let Drago free. Taya is crying because Mundo made a wish for Aerostar instead of her, and after Aerostar frees Drago from his iron collar, Taya calls Mundo an idiot for helping Aerostar and says that everything they did was for nothing. Mundo says that Kobra Moon could not grant his wish, because only Taya could do that. PJ Black then pulls out a small black ring box from his trunks and hands it to Johnny Mundo, and Taya cannot believe what she is seeing as Johnny Mundo does his best "Macho Man" Randy Savage as he asks Taya to marry her. The crowd chants "Si!" as Taya cries "Yes!" Mundo says "Ooh yeah!," then Savage's music plays before Mundo places the engagement ring on Taya's finger before they both kiss.

In the locker room, Ricky Mundo tells Rosa that he has a wish, too: that Taya and Johnny are together until death do them part. Rosa laughs along with Ricky Mundo as they both look into a mirror, and the show ends.
