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.

Jeremiah Crane beats Taya to move on to the quarter-finals of the Cueto Cup Tournament. During the match, Sexy Star shows up in an attempt to distract Taya. After the match, Sexy Star gets in the ring and hits Taya with a brass knuckle.

Fenix is training in the locker room when Aerostar shows up. Aerostar tells Fenix he is putting all his money on him. Fenix says it's not fair for a time traveler to make a bet, and says nobody was closer to Drago than him. He says Drago has left the Reptile Tribe once and can do it again, but Aerostar isn't so sure. When Fenix asks if he is going to win tonight, Aerostar gives an "I don't know" sort of response and then gives him a thumbs up.

Mul Muertes beats Paul London to move on to the quarter-finals of the Cueto Cup Tournament despite the appearances of both Mala Suerte and Saltador.

Brenda, Famous B's assistant, shows up at a bar and wants Texano to buy her a drink, and asks for something strong like him. Brenda admits that when she gets a little tipsy, the truth comes out. She finds Texano boring and dull, even though he is a blue-collar ass kicker. Texano breaks a beer bottle and says he is not dull, then quietly sits back down when Brenda asks him to. Brenda says all he needs is a woman's touch. Famous B, dressed much like Texano to fit in with the environment, is watching from a distance and liking what he is seeing.

Next week: Cage vs. Pindar! "The Darewolf" PJ Black vs. Prince Puma! Son of Havoc vs. Dante Fox! All part of the second round of the Cueto Cup tournament!

Before the next match, Marty "The Moth" Martinez tries to get ring announcer Melissa Santos to eat what is in his "Aztec Pride" lunchbox. He succeeds, but she spits it back at him.

Fenix beats Marty "The Moth" Martinez to move on the quarter-finals of the Cueto Cup Tournament. During the match, ring announcer Melissa Santos stops Mariposa from giving the Aztec Pride lunchbox to Marty as a weapon. This gets Fenix enough time to recover and beat Fenix with a bridge pin. After the match, Mariposa hands the lunchbox over to Marty anyway, and Marty pulls a fork out of the lunch box. Marty then takes the fork and stabs Fenix with it, and Mariposa holds Melissa back to keep her from getting involved. Marty then says to Mellisa "this is for you," as he continues to let stab Fenix in the head and lick the blood from both Fenix's head and the fork. Melissa then checks on Fenix when Mariposa pushes her away to end the show.

Dario Cueto talks to a bearded, masked man who looks like Son of Havoc in his office about the Cueto Cup Tournament...but that's not Son of Havoc he is talking to. The man's name is Son of Madness. He also claims to hail from "The Open Road." He is now in the Cueto Cup, and his first round opponent is Son of Havoc.
