Blue Demon Jr. defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr. in the first official Lucha Underground match to air on television. The lucha libre legend is no longer performing for the promotion however, and seems to be disillusioned with what the program has become.

Ahead of a big Cinco De Mayo show, Blue Demon took some time to speak with reporters from “the Roman Show”.
Translations of Blue Demon Jr. Interview:
His thoughts on Lucha Underground:
“It was a great experience. We didn’t finish on a good note. There were many things that remained. The writers left a lot on the table and they focused on other things. If you look at Lucha Underground it’s no longer Mexican Luchalibre, which what was intended to be. Since it wasn’t like that I left.”
On returning to the NWA (he is a former NWA champion):
“I think you might see me in NWA. I have a stake in NWA Mexico. I need to speak with the owner to see if we continue with our alliance and we’ll let you know the good news.”
On his relationship with AAA Lucha Libre in Mexico:
“AAA has been controversial. In whatever promotion I am, I try to close my cycle and say my thanks even if I leave with problems. I don’t like to talk about the problems. The relationship you have with a promotion should be private. But it comes to the point were the talent isn’t happy or information is being circulated that isn’t good and then the rumors start. I can tell you it is controversial. It is the lead promotion in Mexico just like CMLL. Everyone has their following.”
