Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for October 24, 2018

"The Savage" Jake Strong beats Hernandez, "The Darewolf" PJ Black, Big Bad Steve, Aerostar, King Cuerno and Dante Fox in a Seven To Survive Match to win the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Championship! After the match, "The Savage" Jake Strong snaps Dante Fox's ankle with another ankle lock.

During the match:

  • Hernandez is eliminated following a backslide pin by Dante Fox
  • "The Darewolf" PJ Black is eliminated following an ankle lock by "The Savage" Jake Strong (who proceeds to break said ankle)
  • Aerostar is raised to balcony level with the help of a forklift - with traffic directed by Drago in a bright yellow safety vest and a hard hat with horns - to hit a flying cross body to the ring on King Cuerno and Big Bad Steve to pin Big Bad Steve
  • Aerostar is eliminated following an ankle lock by "The Savage" Jake Strong (who is stopped by King Cuerno before he can break said ankle)
  • King Cuerno is eliminated following the Fox Catcher by Dante Fox
  • Dante Fox is eliminated following an ankle lock by "The Savage" Jake Strong

Johnny Mundo is seen practicing his moves on the rooftop of the temple. Suddenly, a bright light appears, and Aerostar appears. He tells Mundo that no amount of training will prepare him for "The Monster" Matanza Cueto. He tells him that if he faces him alone, it will be his funeral, and he will be another sacrifice to the gods without his help. Mundo says he does not need his help given his performance tonight, but Aerostar calls for Drago, reminding Mundo that he saved his oldest friend and that he wants to repay the favor. In Drago's hands is the Gauntlet of the Gods, which Mundo reluctantly puts on only to find out that he feels like a god. Drago asks Aerostar if this is a good idea, but Aerostar tells him only time will tell.

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.

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for September 5, 2018

In Mil Muertes' shrine, Catrina tells Mil Muertes she is done with him and that she has her life back again after wasting it in the temple with him. She says they can rule the underworld together, but she never really loved Mil Muertes and the man she truly loved gave her freedom that she refuses to throw away. She then gives Mil Muertes to remember him by: the stone that she used to control him. As she leaves, she is confronted by Melissa Santos, and both women get into a fight. Mil Muertes looks at the stone as Melissa and Catrina continue to brawl. Catrina gets Melissa in an arm bar, and tells her that Fenix never really loved her, saying that Fenix gave her a thousand lives so that she could live again. Melissa says Fenix died Catrina, but Catrina will die for her. The brawl goes outside, and Catrina tries to choke Melissa out with the medallion, but Melissa fights back and sends Catrina flying back, forcing her to grab onto a pipe at the edge of the rooftop. Suddenly, Mil Muertes shows up, tells Melissa to leave, then helps Catrina up before putting the stone back in her hand. Catrina smiles as if she saw this coming, then Mil Muertes drops her. Afterwards, Melissa approaches Catrina's body as Aerostar, and when Melissa tells him she did not do this, Aerostar tells her he knows, and asks for her help by giving him the medallion in exchange for what her heart most desires. He absorbs the power of the stone used to control Mil Muertes, then tells her he will be back. We then go back ten weeks earlier, and see Catrina absorbing Fenix's life in order to revive herself. Aerostar goes back to that time after Catrina has left, and uses the power of the stone to revive Fenix, telling him to come with him. Aerostar then returns ten weeks forward to the present, this time with Fenix. Melissa hugs Fenix, who hugs her back. Aerostar tells Melissa that Fenix has been taken out of time, and that it will take a while for him to be the same again. Melissa says they have all the time in the world, and Melissa hands Aerostar the medallion, thanking him. Aerostar teleports away, and we see dots flying around in one of Fenix's eyes.

It is announced that Johnny Mundo is unable to face Pentagon Dark for the Lucha Underground Championship following the attack on him and Taya at the wedding last week from "The Monster" Matanza Cueto. It is also mentioned that Joey Wrestling is here tonight, and even though he is not contracted to be in the temple, he is here to night to get a modicum of revenge.

Melissa Santos is back as ring announcer this week.

Before the next match, Antonio Cueto says he has heard that Joey Wrestling was a little upset about his son "The Monster" Matanza Cueto crashing Johnny Mundo and Taya's wedding last week, and says that tonight, he will get a chance at revenge. Tonight, Joey will have his first-ever Lucha Underground match, and he wishes he had alerted the paparazzi as the headlines tomorrow would read "Joey Wrestling arrives in Lucha Underground and becomes the next sacrifice to the gods."

"The Monster" Matanza Cueto beats Joey Wrestling, then Joey Wrestling is sacrificed to the gods.

Killshot - now with a new look that involves tactical gear - beats Big Bad Steve. During the match, Son of Havoc shows up with a cup of soda and a bucket of popcorn to get a closer look at the match from the front row. After the match, the fans chant for Son of Havoc, and Killshot turns around on his way to the back and knocks the bucket of popcorn out of Son of Havoc's hands. This leads to a brawl between the two men, which ends with Son of Havoc ripping Killshot's mask off. Killshot runs to the back, completely covering his face with his hands.

Before the next match, Pentagon Dark says he wanted to give a wedding gift to Johnny Mundo and Taya: breaking Johnny MUndo's arm. However, the doctor won't let Mundo wrestle him tonight, which makes him sad, because tonight, he is in the mood to break some bones. He then issues an open challenge to "anyone in the back who has the balls to face [him] tonight" for the Lucha Underground Championship. That challenge is answered by Hernandez, who says that if Pentagon Dark wants anyone with balls, then he is the one with the biggest balls in the building. He says he would have been Lucha Underground Champion at Aztec Warfare if Pentagon Dark had not broken his arm, but Pentagon Dark tells him to go screw himself and get down to the ring. Hernandez says that if Pentagon Dark has the balls to face him, then the Lucha Underground Championship is coming home with him.

Pentagon Dark retains the Lucha Underground Championship against Hernandez. After the match, Pentagon Dark almost breaks Hernandez's arm again, but King Cuerno shows up and hits The Thrill Of The Kill on the Lucha Underground Championship to end the show.

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for July 4, 2018

Catrina heads to the casket to Fenix and kisses Fenix on the lips in order to come back to life. Catrina is wearing a red dress when she leaves.

In the locker room, Melissa Santos is on her cellphone looking at pictures of herself with Fenix. Suddenly, Catrina shows up and tells her she is never coming back, as he gave his life for the woman who truly loves him: her. In exchange for Fenix's power, she gives Melissa Santos her half of the pendant, saying it kept her from dying and that she never felt more alive after Fenix's sacrifice.

It is announced that Famous B has undergove several surgeries following the attack from Jake Strong two weeks ago and could be facing amputation of his injured leg, and that well-wishes can be sent to Famous B's voicemail at (423) GET-FAME.

"The Savage" Jake Strong beats Big Bad Steve with the ankle lock. After the match, Strong hits Steve with a gut wrench powerbomb on the outside before taking his bandanna.

In the office, Antonio Cueto is having a drink when King Cuerno suddenly shows up. Cueto knows that Cuerno has the Gauntlet, and Cuerno responds by saying that the Gauntlet was stolen from him and that he does not know where it is. Cueto tells him that the Gauntlet is dangerous if in the wrong hands, and Cuerno says that whoever has the Gauntlet has the power to become a god. He asks why else he could have stolen it from Mil Muertes only to have someone steal it from him, and thinks that Mil Muertes was the one to do it. Antonio says only the gods know if he is telling them the truth, and offers the ancient Aztec medallion of his tribe in return for the Gauntlet as well as an opportunity to compete for the Gift of the Gods Championship. Also, since Antonio says he is feeling generous, he will also give him a chance against Chavo Guerrero Jr. for eliminating him from Aztec Warfare. Suddenly, the door opens, and Cage enters the office. Cage tells Antonio he saw what he did to Pentagon Dark last week, and tonight, he wants to get the job done. Antonio tells Cage he is an impatient man, but Cuerno simply laughs and says he is the man while Cage is a machine. Antonio tells Cage that he does not deserve a title shot just because he attacked him, and if he wants a title shot, he has to start by winning one of the seven Aztec medallions next week in a revenge match against Mil Muertes.

The Worldwide Underground (Taya and Johnny Mundo) beat The Reptile Tribe (Daga and Kobra Moon) following the assist from "The Darewolf" PJ Black. After the match, Vibora shows up, and while The Worldwide Underground take him on, Vibora outmatches them. The Reiple Tribe then choke out Taya and PJ Black while Mundo escapes, and Kobra Moon tells Mundo he will bouw down to her and call her his queen.

Antonio Cueto enters the cell of Matanza Cueto, where Matanza is seen beating on a man. Antonio tells Matanza it is time for his first sacrifice, and to come with him.

Before the next match, Antonio Cueto tells Mr. Pectacular that this might be his first - and last - singles match, as his match tonight will be something that has never been done before in Lucha Underground: a sacrifice to the gods. He tells Mr. Pectacular that he is the sacrifice, and the god is his son Matanza Cueto.

"The Monster" Matanza Cueto quickly beats Mr. Pectacular. After the match, the lights go out with a flash of thunder, and when they come back on, Mr. Pectacular is gone.

King Cuerno beats Chavo Guerrero Jr. to earn one of the seven acient Aztec medallions.
