Dario Cueto made his return to pro wrestling on Wednesday’s MLW Fusion season finale. The former boss of Lucha Underground was revealed to be the mysterious El Jefe figure behind Azteca Underground. He was not referenced by name.
Cueto, portrayed by actor Luis Fernandez-Gil, served as the owner, promoter and on-screen authority figure of Lucha Underground during its 4-season run.
El Jefe appeared in a video package that aired at the conclusion of the broadcast. He chastised a kidnapped Selina De La Renta for her recent actions. He declared, “Im building a new temple.”
Following the blockbuster debut of Dario Cueto, MLW heads to the ‘off season’ on a major cliffhanger. Fusion is now going on hiatus until the summer. MLW returns in July in front of a packed house at Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena.
MLW recently announced a partnership with the VICE TV cable network. They’re airing recap shows Saturdays at 12 noon (Eastern).
