Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for October 19, 2016

Vampiro wishes Prince Puma luck in his match against Mil Muertes tonight. Prince Puma makes it clear he wants nothing to do with him even if he is beaten mercifully at his desk, as he would rather die by Mil Muertes' hands than live by Vampiros. Vampiro tells Prince Puma that Mil Muertes will die by his hands.

Dario Cueto is back with Dario's Dial of Doom...which lands on Killshot.

Matanza Cueto retains the Lucha Underground Championship against Killshot. After the match, a young man wearing dog tags around his neck, and Killshot cannot believe he is here, as if he was dead. Killshot hugs him, but the guy is not impressed and kicks him with an impressive jumping front kick before stomping a mudhole in Killshot and driving him into the mat. He then tells Killshot "You left me for dead" before he drops his dog tags on a downed Killshot and leaves.

The Rabbit Clan is coming...

Before the next match, Dario Cueto shows up and gives everyone "a glimpse of the future." He announces that Aztec Warfare is returning, and that he is looking for competition for Matanza Cueto. He then announces that Matanza Cueto will defend the Lucha Underground Championship at Aztec Warfare, and that he will be entered at #1. He then tells Fenix he wants to give him the chance to enter at #20, and extends the opportunity to Drago and Aerostar as well. He then tells The Super Friends (Drago, Aerostar, Fenix) that they will have to fight each other in order to get that opportunity. Whoever wins is #20, while the two losers will not be able to compete in Aztec Warfare.

Drago beats Aerostar and Fenix to enter Aztec Warfare at #20. As per pre-match stipulation, Aerostar and Fenix will not be able to participate in Aztec Warfare.

Kobra Moon sneaks up on Drago in the locker room. She says the scales have tipped in his favor, and that she wants him to win the Lucha Underground Championship and bring the title back to their tribe. Drago says he left the tribe 1,000 years ago, and will never return. He then roars and leaves. Some guy shows up, telling her this is the men's room. She hisses at him, and he just eats a pizza.

Johnny Mundo shows up in Dario Cueto's office saying he wants to be Lucha Underground Champion, and has a way of doing just that. He tells him that he has a souvenir of when they didn't see eye to eye: $100,000...give or take, as he had to pay someone off. He hands Dario Cueto the money and tells him he wants Sexy Star. Dario Cueto makes the match official for the Gift of the Gods Championship. Dario then looks at the money he just got back.

Prince Puma beats Mil Muertes.

Rey Mysterio Jr. talks to someone, saying that he and his son go way back. He asks this person where it will put him with the Guerreros if he beats Chavo Guerrero, Jr. and forces him out of the temple. This person is Chavo Guerrero, Sr., and he says the Guerrero dynasty will not end with his son, and asks if this is the only way. Rey says either Chavo leaves or he leaves.

Here are the highlights for tonight's show!

Generation NXT - NXT recap for October 19, 2016

Rich Swann and No Way Jose beat Tony Nese and Drew Gulak to continue to the next round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, where they will face The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar). After the match, Jose and Swann cut a celebratory promo.



It is announced that Hideo Itami is injured again and will be out for quite a while, this time with a injured neck, and that he will have to pull out of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Earlier today, "The Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger said he has beef with Bobby Roode for not being a man of word. He wanted General Manager William Regal to give him a match against Roode at NXT TakeOver: Toronto. This match is now official.



Austin Aries says that he would rather talk about a banana than his tag team partner for the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. After mocking Hideo Itami's injury, he says that his partner will help him go all the way in the Classic.

Bobby Roode beats Sean Maluta. After the match, he says he will be at NXT TakeOver: Toronto, and that "The Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger is whining for no reason. He says he tried to bring Dillinger up to his level, and when he says that at his stage, he has to eliminate the losers, Dillinger rushes into the ring. He and Bobby Roode brawl, and Dillinger comes out on top.

Liv Morgan is attacked backstage by Billie Kay and Peyton Royce, and that backstage attack turns into a beating on the entrance ramp. Billie and Peyton gloat, and say that they are putting the entire NXT women's division on notice - including Asuka - and say that the division belongs to them.

Austin Aries' partner is revealed to be "Mr. ROH" himself, Roderick Strong.

Austin Aries and Roderick Strong beat Tucker Knight and Otis Dozovic to continue to the next round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, where they will meet TM61 (Nick Miller and Shane Thorne).



Earlier today, Andrade "Cien" Almas said that in order to be part of NXT, he had to remove his mask. Unfortunately, the respect has not been reciprocated, and he has worked a lifetime to earn that respect but has gotten nothing since he has come to NXT. He says he is not about respect anymore, and that he only cares about himself.

Nikki Cross quickly beats Danielle Kamella, then continues to attack her even when Eric Young tries to hold her back only to get punched in the face as a result. Danielle Kamella then wins by reverse decision, and while Eric Young gets angry with the referee, Nikki, Alexander Wolfe and Sawyer Fulton don't seem to care.

Next week on NXT: #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) take on Tian Bhing and Hoho Lun! TJ Perkins and Kota Ibushi take on Lince Dorado and Mustafa Ali!

"The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura shows up to make his Champion's Address. He tells Samoa Joe he is not down with him, and if he wants the NXT title, he'll have to come and get it. He tells Joe that if he wants to come at him with cheap tactics, he will show no mercy. Patrick Clark then shows up with a new Prince gimmick, and tells Nakamura that Joe nearly ended his career, and suggest that Nakamura take on "The Patrick Clark Experience." Nakamura easily folds him as Samoa Joe shows up and stares Nakamura down from the entrance ramp to end the show.

Total Bellas Island - Total Bellas recap for October 19, 2016

Bryan thinks the fish in the aquarium are unhappy. Kathy compares Bryan to Danny DeVito.

Josie swims in the pool with the assistance of a pool. Brie is worried about her retirement, with her last match being at WrestleMania. She wants to go out big, but is sad that Bryan won't be on the road with her.

Nikki finds out that John Cena is taking part in a lot of guest appearances, and that Nikki will be with him in some of them. Bryan has no idea if he'll be doing anything at WrestleMania.

Brie leaves to head to WrestleMania and take part in her last match.

Nikki and Bryan watch Brie take on Summer Rae on TV. Nikki wants Brie's last month in WWE to be great, but is sad that she won't be by her side in that time. Bryan says she misses Brie, but not as much as he missed Phoenix.

At morning coffee, we find out that J.J. has joined mother Kathy's firm, JBN, which is an executive search firm. Everyone talks about Brie's match on Raw, and while Bryan doesn't know what to do after wrestling, Nikki and Johnny agree that Bryan would make a great coach. Nikki mentions her back-up plan of getting a real estate license, then brings up the idea of taking Bryan to the Performance Center. Kathy says that Nikki is worried about Bryan, and wants to help him find that next step.

J.J., Nikki and Bryan are heading to the Performance Center when they get a call from Brie. It becomes obvious that Brie and Bryan really miss each other. We also learn that the tension between J.J. and Kathy from J.J.'s being Kathy's personal assistant more than a recruiter has intensified due to all the stuff he has to do.

At the Performance Center, Bryan meets the guys currently in NXT. J.J. likes what he sees. Sami Zayn and Nikki talk about Nikki's neck injury, and Nikki says she can't do the Rack Attack ever again. Daniel Bryan talks to Sami Zayn about how he would protect his neck in the ring if he were to ever get in the ring again, and Nikki can see the passion in Bryan as he does so. Sami Zayn says it looks primal and a good way to take on Brock Lesnar. Bryan likes to talk about his ideas on what to do about wrestling, but it still doesn't change the fact that he can't do it anymore and it depresses him.

On the way back home, Bryan still has to grieve through the fact that he can't wrestle anymore.

John Cena and J.J. have the evening fire indoors as Cena has a date. J.J. mentions his work problems to Cena, and brings up trying to get into NXT. Nikki, Bryan and Kathy show up, and the trip to the Performance Center is brought up. Cena says that Bryan has a really good mind that should continue to be involved in wrestling somehow, and that he needs to find a way to instill that knowledge. Nikki brings up the idea of hosting a show, but Bryan feels like he's being interrogated as he is driven by personal satisfaction above all else.



Kathy asks J.J. to do him a favor...and J.J. finally gets ticked off with Kathy.

Nikki has Bryan drive her to a tea shop. Nikki and Bryan enjoy it, and Bryan mentions the fact that he can't find time to be with Brie, but that he is happy that Brie will be off the road soon and that they will.



Brie finally returns home. She just wants to spend time with Bryan, even though she's pulled towards other people. Brie thinks that Bryan is not in a good place as he can't find out what to do now that he can't wrestle anymore.

Brie, Johnny and J.J. hit some golf balls. J.J. mentions that he wants to wrestle in WWE, and a change of pace from JBN. Nikki mentions that J.J. has trained him to replace her in JBN, but J.J. says that's not really is dream. Johnny tells J.J. there's a lot to wrestling, but J.J> doesn't seem to care.

Brie mentions to Nikki that J.J. doesn't want to be part of JBN anymore, and that he wants to get into wrestling. They agree that J.J. needs to talk to mother Kathy, as he continues to be unhappy and can't find a job that seems to make him happy.

Brie and Nikki head to a spa. We learn that Bryan has been battling depression for some time, and while she's been able to deal with it, Brie feels Bryan's depression can't be hide anymore, and tells Nikki. Nikki is surprised.

Everyone heads to a restaurant to dine out. It is revealed that J.J. wants to leave JBN, and as Kathy and J.J. go back and forth, Cena mentions that J.J. is taking inventory of his life and trying to figure out what makes him happy.

Brie asks Kathy to join her and J.J. so J.J. and Kathy can talk out their differences. J.J. says he wants to take on more responsibility and doesn't want to feel like he's working for his mom and doesn't want to feel like a punching bag.

At dinner, Kathy admits she was too demanding and asking too many favors of J.J., and says she can't do it without it. She raises a toast to 20% of JBN. J.J. is happy as Kathy made it aware that he is ready for the next level.

Brie and Bryan swim with some manatees as part of a trip Brie has planned to get Bryan into a happy place. Bryan is afraid that if he were to go back to wrestling, he wouldn't have much of a goal to shoot for, and he feels that his mind is already wasting away. Brie really thinks that Bryan needs therapy to combat his depression.



Next week on Total Bellas...
