Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for October 17, 2018

Antonio Cueto is in his office placing the Aztec medallions on the Gift of the Gods Championship when "The Savage" Jake Strong shows up, wanting to know why Antonio called him in. Antonio tells Strong that he has been more dominant that he has ever imagined, and at Ultima Lucha Cuatro, he has no reason not to put him in the main event, but Strong says he wants to win the Lucha Underground Championship without Antonio handing it to him on a silver platter. Antonio Cueto offers an opportunity for one of the Aztec medallions of the Gift of the Gods Championship. Strong tells Antonio he has seen the sacrifices he has fed to his son "The Monster" Matanza Cueto, and that Antonio had better save some for him. He also tells Antonio this is not his temple anymore; instead, it is his. As he says it is his, his voice sounds a little more demonic than usual.

Antonio Cueto announces that there must be a new Gift of the Gods Champion now that Ultima Lucha Cuatro is in two weeks, and that he has awarded the medallions to seven people who have proved deserving of them: Aerostar, "The Darewolf" PJ Black, Hernandez, Big Bad Steve, King Cuerno, "The Savage" Jake Strong...and Dante Fox, who has not been seen in months. He then announces that only six will fight to decide who will become the next Gift of the Gods Champion, and therefore, there will be an over-the-top-rope battle royal between all seven men, with the winner removing one of the other six men from the championship match.

"The Savage" Jake Strong eliminates Aerostar, "The Darewolf" PJ Black, Hernandez, Big Bad Steve, King Cuerno and Dante Fox in an over-the-top-rope battle royal. After the match, Strong eliminates nobody from the match, saying he wants all seven men in the match so he can destroy all of them. Antonio Cueto announces that next week's match for the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Championship will be a Seven To Survive Elimination Match, but Strong asks Antonio if that is all he's got before boasting that he will snap anyone Antonio throws at him in half. Antonio says he has just the guy, and tonight, Strong will face Johnny Mundo one-on-one.

Son of Havoc is seen in the balcony, watching the next match.

The Mack beats Killshot by disqualification after he is suddenly attacked by Mil Muertes. After the match, Son of Havoc gets in the match and brawls with Killshot, but is choke slammed by Mil Muertes, who lays out The Mack soon after.

Matt Striker interviews Ivelisse and XO Lishus in the ring. Ivelisse says she, Joey Ryan and XO Lishus have been invited to a three-way elimination match for the Lucha Underground Trios Championships against The Reptile Tribe (Kobra Moon, Daga, Jeremiah Snake) and The Rabbit Clan (Paul London, El Bunny, The White Rabbit) at Ultima Lucha Cuatro, but unfortunately, Joey Ryan will not be good to go on time. They have had to find a new partner, and they have found a "young badass" who has a future in Lucha Underground: Sammy Guevara, who has not been seen since "The Savage" Jake Strong injured his ankle. All of a sudden, Famous B shows up, reminding everyone that he brought him to the temple via a seven-year contract with Infamous Inc., and tells Sammy that Infamous Inc. owns him and that XO Lishus and Ivelisese will be receiving a cease-and-desist letter from his lawyer. He then tells Sammy Guevara that if he wants to go to Ultima Lucha Cuatro, then he can team up with Dr. Wagner Jr. and Texano and he will be more than happy to pull them out of their house show at Tijuana, Mexico. When Famous B tells Guevara to leave the ring, Guevara responds with a corkscrew tope con hilo before tossing his contract in a trash can, placing the can on Famous B's head and superkicking Famous B in the head.

"The Savage" Jake Strong beats Johnny Mundo with the ankle lock. After the match, Strong puts Johnny in the ankle lock again, then "The Monster" Matanza Cueto shows up. Strong lets go of the ankle lock, smiles at Matanza, then hands Johnny over to him. Matanza then proceeds to assault Johnny, then Taya shows up and gets on top of Matanza only to get thrown off and laid out with Wrath of the Gods. Matanza then proceeds to attack Johnny again, and at this point, Johnny's forehead is busted open. Antonio Cueto comes out of his office to show his approval, then Antonio leaves with Matanza to end the show.
