Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for June 13, 2018

The show - and Season 4 - begins with Dario Cueto's funeral. The agent who shot him and a man with a cane named Antonio are the only people there. Antonio is now in control of Lucha Underground, but since gangs have taken over, the temple in Boyle Heights can no longer be used. Antonio has an area in mind for the new temple, and the audience learns that Dario is his son. Antonio is told by the agent that Lucha Underground is a cover, but Antonio says he will not make Dario's mistakes. We also learned that Dario Cueto called Antonio for help before he died, and that he called for the hit on Dario. The agent then tells Antonio that Matanza Cueto and the rest of the roster is waiting. Antonio sees the key around Dario's neck, and takes it before closing Dario Cueto's casket and leaving.

At the new temple, a moment of silence and a ten-bell salute is held for Dario Cueto. Al of a sudden, Antonio Cueto shows up and gets in the ring. He introduces himself to the fans, then strikes the portrait of Dario and throws it out of the ring before saying the temple is his. He then says that tonight, there will be a new Lucha Underground champion crowned as Pentagon Dark will defend the title tonight in an Aztec Warfare match, which he claims to have invented. He then announces that this match is coming up next.

The Mack and Killshot are in the ring, and are told by Antonio Cueto that the Trios champions will be facing each other in Aztec Warfare. However, Dante Fox is missing in action, and Killshot and The Mack will be entering at #1 and #2, with entrant #3 being their new partner. That new partner is Son of Havoc, who is handed the third Trios title belt, and Antonio Cueto tells the three of them to get to know each other by beating the crap out of each other.

Pentagon Dark retains the Lucha Underground Championship in Aztec Warfare, last eliminating #20 Marty "The Moth" Martinez. After the match, Pentagon Dark breaks Marty's arm. Antonio Cueto then congratulates Pentagon Dark on his win, then says Dario Cueto would have made him defend against someone else immediately after this match. However, he claims to be a much better promoter, as next week, Pentagon Dark will defend the Lucha Underground Championship against "The Monster" Matanza Cueto in a match much more violent than Aztec Warfare.

During the match:

When Joey Ryan shows up, he handcuffs himself to the top rope. It does not work for him, and he eventually gets removed from his handcuffs before eliminated by Pentagon Dark.

Entrant #6 is the debuting "Mr. Pectacular," formerly known as Jessie Godderz in Impact Wrestling. He is eliminated early in the match by Pentagon Dark.

Tommy Dreamer makes a surprise appearance at #7, and shows up with a garbage can full of weapons that are introduced into the match.

When Vinnie Massaro shows up at #9, he gets a pizza and refuses to pay the pizza delivery guy. This leads to "Hey, we want some pizza!" chants as well as Pentagon Dark shoving a pizza slice in Vinnie's mouth before slamming him into the rest of the pie for the elimination.

Hernandez returns at #10, having not been seen since the first Ultima Lucha. Pentagon Dark breaks his arm before eliminating him as quickly as he showed up.

Ricky Mandel, now known as Ricky Mundo, shows up with an old, destroyed doll as he replaces Angelico at #12 for unknown reasons. Ricky Mundo is distracted by the doll, and Johnny Mundo has to remind him to get his head in the game. Ricky nearly eliminates Johnny with a schoolboy, but Johnny gets rid of him with Moonlight Drive.

Catrina walks out on #15 Mil Muertes when he is eliminated from the match in mere minutes by Fenix.

Daga comes out accompanied by Kobra Moon when he enters at #16. He is eliminated by Johnny Mundo. Some time after, Kobra Moon summons Vibora (who now wears a new mask with eye and mouth holes), who attacks Johnny Mundo. When Marty "The Moth" Martinez shows up, Vibora and Kobra Moon slither away, and Marty pins Johnny Mundo to eliminate him.

Chavo Guerrero, Jr. makes a surprise return at #17. He gets eliminated by Pentagon Dark.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for June 13, 2018

War Raiders (Hanson and Rowe) beat Ricky Martinez and Justin Storm. After the match, War Raiders call out TM61 (Nick Miller and Shane Thorne), saying "They call themselves The Mighty...we'll show you 'mighty.'" They then make an example out of Justin Storm.

Adam Cole does not take well to a cameraman filming The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) without his say-so.

We see a video package chronicling the events from the break-up of #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) to the Chicago Street Fight between both Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa at NXT TakeOver: Chicago.



Ethan Carter III beats Kassius Ohno after sending him throat-first into the top rope before hitting the One Percenter.



Bianca Belair beats Aliyah.

We see a video package chronicling the events for Nikki Cross vs. "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler for the NXT Women's Championship at NXT TakeOver: Chicago.

Cathy Kelley interviews Dakota Kai, who is finally happy she had the chance to stand up to "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler. She was so close to becoming champion, and next time might be different. She says that next time, she will be champion. Suddenly, Bianca Belair shows up and says she should be the one being interviewed before mocking Dakota Kai. Dakota says Bianca talks a big game and challenges her to a match next week. Bianca accepts, then tells Dakota she won't be able to beat her.

Pete Dunne retains the WWE United Kingdom Championship against Kyle O'Reilly. After the match, Roderick Strong and Adam Cole attack Dunne, then Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan rush in to fight them. Dunne gets his hands on Strong, and when Cole drags him out of the ring, he slugs him. Locan, Burch and Dunne come out on top in the post-match brawl.



Next week: Bianca Belair vs. Dakota Kai! War Raiders (Hanson and Rowe) vs. TM61 (Nick Miller and Shane Thorne), now known as "The Mighty!"

Aleister Black shows up. Aleister says Lars Sullivan thinks he has his number and caught his Black Mass. He may have rattled him, but he will feel the force of Black Mass at NXT TakeOver: Chicago. He then says that nothing is unstoppable and that his carnage is not imminence, as he will soon fade to black. Suddenly, Sullivan shows up. Sullivan runs down the ramp and into the ring, and he and Aleister brawl. Sullivan hits the Freak Accident and comes out on top in a short brawl. He then tells Aleister he is not through before hitting another Freak Accident, then stands over Aleister before picking him back up and hitting a third Freak Accident. Sullivan then takes Aleister - and the NXT Championship - and takes Aleister to the commentary table. There, he lifts the NXT Championship into the air while standing over Aleister.
