Lucha Underground was back this week for their 2nd episode to season 3 pt II. Last week, Johnny Mundo and the Mack fought to a 3-3 draw in an “All-Night Long” match (basically Iron Man rules). Dario Cueto however, ruled that the match must continue under sudden death rules this week.
Lucha Underground
S03E21
Boyle Heights, Los Angeles
- In the back we see a video of Prince Puma staring into a mirror. Images of Vampiro, and having been locked in a coffin flash. Rey Mysterio walks in and says he’s worried about him, and not to trust Vampiro. Puma says no one is his master, and that includes Rey Mysterio.
- Puma leaves, and a ghostly image of Vampiro appears in the mirror. He tells Mysterio to stay away from Puma. Rey punches and shatters the mirror to end the scene.
1. Lucha Underground Championship Match
Johnny Mundo (c) vs. the Mack
- Before the match Dario Cueto came out and announced it would be a Falls Count Anywhere match.
- Mack dominated early. He hit a Samoan drop, standing moonsault, and clothesline in the corner.
- The match then moved to the outside where Mack still got most of the offence. He body slammed Mundo into a pile of chairs, and hit a cannonball while Mundo was sitting in the 3rd or 4th row of seats.
- Mundo then fled throughout the crowd.
- Ricky Mandel came out and interfered, which allowed Mundo to go on offence. Hit hit a dividing corkscrew like move from the guardrail. Mandel asked Mundo what he needed, to which Mundo replied “a chainsaw”.
- Mandel couldn’t find a chainsaw but did start to bring over a trash can when Sexy Star came out and took him out.
- Mack got back on offence, but then PJ Black came out from under the ring and hit him in the head with a kendo stick. Mack ended up giving Black a stunner on the apron, causing him to fall through a table.
- Mundo was able to go back on offence afterwards. He hit a running knee strike before going for the End of the World. Mack got his knees up and then hit a sit down power-bomb for a near-fall.
- Mack looked as though he was going to try and power-bomb Mundo through the pile of chairs on the outside, but Taya pulled Mundo into the ring. Shortly after, Mundo hit a sunset flip power-bomb to Mack, who was on the apron at the time, sending him into the pile of chairs. Mundo got the 3-count afterwards to retain his title.
Winner: Johnny Mundo
- Dario Cueto announced the “Cueto Cup”, which will be awarded to the winner of a single elimination tournament. The winner will receive a Lucha Underground Championship match at Ultima Lucha 3.
- He also announced that Johnny Mundo would defend his Lucha Underground championship against Rey Mysterio Jr. on the same night of the Cueto Cup finals.
2. Lucha Underground Trios Championships
Aerostar, Fenix, & Drago (c) vs. the Reptile Tribe
- Most of this match seemed to involve Aerostar taking out the smaller reptile character. Neither Kobra Moon or Drago tagged in for their teams until the end.
- The Giant Viper like reptile took out Fenix with a tombstone on the outside.
- Aerostar went to tag Drago, but Drago hit him with the poison green mist.
- Drago then walked over to the other corner, and tagged in for the Reptile team.
- Drago hit Aerostar with a splash and pinned him.
- Evidently, Drago had been on the Reptile team all along, and was doing the bidding of Kobra Moon.
- They celebrated with the titles, as Moon attached a collar around Drago’s neck.
Winners: the Reptile Tribe (new champions)
- In the back Taya tells Johnny Mundo that he will have to defend the title against Rey Mysterio.
- Mundo says he’ll have to train harder than he’s ever trained before.
3. Boyle Heights Street Fight
Mill Muertes vs. Prince Puma
- Puma and Muertes spent the early portion of the match fighting throughout the crowd.
- Muertes ended up putting Puma on his shoulders and carrying him back towards the ring. Then he gave him a TKO.
- Muertes then walked over to Vampiro at the announcers booth and the two stared each other down for a few moments.
- Puma seemed to gain the advantage on the inside and set Muertes up for a Van Terminator. His version of the move included doing a flip as well, which he landed into a drop kick. Muertes kicked out at 2 after the move.
- After that, Puma hit his 630 splash, but Katrina hit Puma with the rock before he could pin him. As Katrina is helping Muertes, Vampiro hands Puma a brick.
- Puma hit Muertes with the brick and pinned him for a 3 count to end the show.
Winner: Prince Puma
