Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for September 19, 2018

Fenix beats Aerostar, then continues assaulting Aerostar with a ground and pound after the match. Ring announcer Melissa Santos pleads with Fenix to stop, saying this is not him and that he should leave the ring and get some help to become the old him again. Fenxi slides out of the ring aggressively towards Melissa, and El Dragon Azteca Jr. shows up, fearing Fenix will attack her. Instead, Fenix attacks El Dragon Azteca Jr. and hits him with the Black Fire Driver - the same near finishing move he used on Aerostar for this match - before leaving. Melissa calls for medical help, and the status of El Azteca Dragon Jr.'s Gift of the Gods title defense against Marty "The Moth" Martinez - which is up next - is up in the air.

After the commercial break, medical staff check on El Dragon Azteca Jr. Antonio Cueto shows up and says that this turn of events is most unfortunate, as El Dragon Azteca Jr. had made him a believer and he thought he would defend the Gift of the Gods title all the way to Ultima Lucha Cuatro; unfortunately, he is in no condition to wrestle and the Gift of the Gods title will be forfeited over to Marty "The Moth" Martinez. Ring announcer, who is not a big fan of Marty "The Moth" Martinez, especially after what he has done to her, is not happy about this news. El Dragon Azteca Jr. gets up and says he will fight upon hearing this, and Antonio Cueto, noting that he has the heart of a champion, announces that the match is back on.

Marty "The Moth" Martinez beats El Dragon Azteca Jr. to become the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Champion!

The White Rabbit talks with Paul London, and tells him time is but a flat circle. Paul London says that Saltador and Mala Suerte failed the tribe and sacrificed them in a glorious display of undying loyalty to him. The White Rabbit simply yawns, unimpressed, and has an idea. He says that he and his caged friend, El Bunny, have been going stir-crazy in their underground lair, and that it is time for London to show them the way to the temple. London says yes, and The White Rabbit asks him to lead the way. The three of them teleport out of The White Rabbit's lair.

Pentagon Dark retains the Lucha Underground Championship against King Cuerno and Mil Muertes in a three-way match. After the match, Marty "The Moth" Martinez rushes into the ring and blindsides Pentagon Dark, then looks upon the Lucha Underground Championship and picks it up. Marty hits Pentagon Dark with a title belt shot to the forehead, then hits a double underhook DDT - the same move he hit El Dragon Azteca Jr. with to win the Gift of the Gods title - before curb stomping Pentagon Dark. Antonio Cueto then shows up and mentions that his son Dario Cueto insisted that in order to use the Gift of the Gods, you had to give a week's notice; however, Marty made a convincing argument to him last week about why that is "a stupid rule." Therefore, in Antonio Cueto's temple, the Gift of the Gods can be exchanged for a Lucha Underground title shot any time the holder wants, and asks Marty if he wants to do this right now. Marty says yes, and Antonio makes the title match official.

Marty "The Moth" Martinez beats Pentagon Dark to become the Lucha Underground Champion! During the match, a woman in black crawls out from underneath the ring, gets into the ring and kicks Pentagon Dark in the groin before hitting a sunset powerbomb. This women, while not identified as such on commentary, is Chelsea Green (formerly known as Laurel Van Ness in Impact Wrestling), and she leaves the ring so that Martinez can hit the double underhook DDT to win the title. The crowd chants "Bullshit!" as the show comes to an end.
