It is announced that doctors were able to save Famous B's leg, and that he is currently in recovery. "Get well soon" messages to Famous B can be sent to 423-GET-FAME.
"The Savage" Jake Strong beats Sammy Guevara with the ankle lock, which is now known as the Strong Lock, and breaks Guevara's ankle in the process. After the match, Strong takes Guevara's vest as a trophy.
Before the next match, Antonio Cueto shows up and tells Vinnie Massaro that when he took over Lucha Underground, he carefully evaluated every contract of the new roster, and when he saw Vinnie's, his first thought was to "fire that poor excuse for a man." However, he did not, because if his son Dario kept him around, then maybe he knew there was true talent underneath his filthy shirt and track suit. After his performance at Aztec Warfare, he has no choice but to order him a pizza. A pizza delivery man then shows up with a pizza. Before Vinnie can eat it, Antonio says he is glad he is enjoying. Vinnie says it has pineapples on it, and Antonio tells him to shut up. He also tells him he is a sacrifice to the gods. "The Monster" Mantanza Cueto shows up and beats up the pizza delivery man in the corner, then Vinnie walks up to Matanza and slaps hi. Meanwhile, the pizza is still in the middle of the ring. Vinnie hits the rope a couple of times, but runs out of steam and gets headbutted before Matanza slams him into the pizza for the win. "The Monster" Matanza Cueto beats Vinnie Massaro, and the pizza delivery man has come to, and steals the wallet from Vinnie only to run backwads into Matanza Cueto. He tries to hand the wallet to Matanza only to get choke slammed, and Vinnie Massaro, the pizza delivery man and the pizza all get sacrificed.
Before the next match, Antonio Cueto shows up and says he feels like doing things a little differently tonight. He announces that instead of a six-way match for the Gift of the Gods Championship, there will be a Trios Match with the winners going on to compete against one another for the Gift of the Gods. He puts Ivelisse and Son of Havoc on the same team in an attempt to recreate their Trios division success, and lets them pick a partner. They pick The Mack, and King Cuerno, Dezmond X and El Dragon Azteca Jr. end up becoming the opposing team.
El Dragon Azteca Jr., King Cuerno and Dezmond X beat The Mack, Son of Havoc and Ivelisse to compete in a three-way match against one another for the Gift of the Gods Championship. During the match, Killshot is seen watching this match from the top of the stands. After the match, Mil Muertes shows up and attacks The Mack, powerbombing him into the apron. Son of Havoc fights Mil Muertes on the outside, and Killshot tries to make the save only to get laid out.
El Dragon Azteca Jr. beats King Cuerno and Dezmond X to become the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Champion!
The show ends with Marty "The Moth" Martinez being dragged into a living room while on top of a blanket. A pair of boots are seen, and someone is seen pouring water on Marty. That someone is Marty's sister Mariposa, who tells him that she did what she did at Ultima Lucha Tres because Marty needs focus. Mariposa wants Marty to take the Lucha Underground Championship from Pentagon Dark in revenge for what he did to his arm, for while she is the one who wears of the Mariposa, he is the one destined for greatness and that he needs to stop feeling sorry for himself and focus on what really matters. Marty decides to take the Lucha Underground Championship, and Marty has a fit of laughter to end the show.

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for July 18, 2018
The debuting Dezmond X - known in Impact Wrestling as Dezmond Xavier - beats Paul London (who is now clad in black) to win one of the seven Aztec medallions.
Antonio Cueto shows up. Nearby is the Gift Of The Gods Championship. He congratulates Dezmond X on becoming the final competitor in next week's Gift Of The Gods Match. He says that he has been a fight promoter for over 40 years, and he cannot remember a match with so many main event caliber stars in the ring. After saying that next week will be epic, he asks the fighters to place their medallions in the Gift Of The Gods title and declare their spot in Lucha Underground spot. El Dragon Azteca Jr., King Cuerno, Ivelisse, Dezmond X, Son of Havoc, The Mack and Mil Muertes all place their medallions into the Gift Of The Gods Championship, then Antonio decides to have some fun. He says that while seven is a lucky number, he considers it to be unlucky and that only six of the competitors will be competing for the Gift Of The Gods Championship. Antonio Cueto then announces an impromptu over-the-top battle royal, with the last person standing earning the ability to choose who is out of the Gift Of The Gods Match.
The Mack beats El Dragon Azteca Jr., King Cuerno, Ivelisse, Dezmond X, Son of Havoc, and Mil Muertes to win an impromptu over-the-top battle royal after Son of Havoc eliminates himself to take out everyone else. After the match, The Mack says taht while he fears no man, Mil Muertes "scares the shit out of [him]" and removes him from the match. To the surprise of nobody, Mil Muertes takes his anger out on everyone else outside of the ring.
Vibora beats Johnny Mundo. During the match, Mundo superkicks referee Justin Borden after a near-fall following a chair shot by "The Darewolf" PJ Black while Taya distracts Borden. Afterwards, Black and Taya wrap a steel chair around Vibora's neck while Mundo readies another one. Drago shows up and hits Mundo with a top rope missile drop kick, then Daga shows up and scares off Taya and PJ Black with a steel chair of his own. Referee Marty Elias takes over officiating duties shortly afterwards. Vibora wins it after choke slamming Johnny Mundo off the top rope onto the center of the mat. After the match, PJ Black and Taya return with steel chairs and attack Kobra Moon and Vibora, but Drago and Daga show up again and strike back, laying out Ricky Mundo (who shows up later in the match to make a save for Johnny Mundo) and starting an all-out brawl.
We see a vignette for XO Lishus that is not unlike a scene from Flashdance. Meanwhile, Jack Evans is watching him from nearby, and Ricky Mundo strikes up a conversation with him by asking what he is doing. Jack tells Ricky and his doll Rosa to mind their own business, and after Jack leaves, Rosa says that she doesn't like Jack. Ricky says he doesn't like him, either. Rosa then orders Ricky to get rid of Jack, but Ricky says that Johnny Mundo would be mad. Rosa then asks Ricky who controls his life: him, or Johnny Mundo.
Pentagon Dark retains the Lucha Underground Championship against Cage. After the match, Cage tries to hit Pentagon Dark with a discus forearm, but Pentagon Dark ducks, hits him with the Lucha Underground title, says the title is his, and nearly breaks Cage's arm only for Cage to get up, pick Pentagon Dark up and slam him face first into the Lucha Underground title. Cage picks up the title, then tells Pentagon Dark that he cannot break his arm for he is a machine.
