Mil Muertes has signed a new contract with MLW. According to MLW boss Court Bauer, the former Lucha Underground champion re-upped with a multi-year deal that runs through at least 2023. Bauer tweeted:
“One of the most popular wrestlers since The Restart is staying with @MLW for years to come as I have signed @Mesiasaaa to a multi-year deal. Let the body count continue!”
Mil Muertes quickly established himself as one of the top stars in MLW. He will have a big role in MLW’s Azteca Underground storyline, which featured a massive cliffhanger ending at MLW Fusion’s recent season finale.
MLW has discussed a significant roster refresh during this ‘off season’ period. The MLW Open Draft is ongoing, with new signings being announced each week.
MLW officially returns Saturday, July 10th at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA. Fans will be in attendance for the first time since the pandemic. Tickets are now on sale at MLW2300.com.
Lucha Libre FMV LLC filed to trademark the term “Lucha Underground” on March 31st, 2021. The company was formerly a joint venture between MGM Television, AAA Lucha Libre, and FactoryMade Ventures.
AAA and Lucha Libre FMV have been involved in a legal battle over revenue earned by AAA in the United States as of late. The filing of Lucha Underground trademarks may be related to this. The legal battle has also resulted in the removal of AAA shows from YouTube in the United States.
Lucha Libre FMV is suing Promociones Antonio Pena for breaching an agreement made in 2014 which gives Lucha Libre FMV the right to monetize AAA content in the United States.
The original trademark filings for the term were made in 2014. The recent filing lists “A downloadable television series featuring wrestling” as the purposes for the trademark.
Is Lucha Underground Returning?
PW Insider is reporting that they spoke with people at MGM who denied the show is returning. In MLW, however, the Mil Muertes character is part of a faction known as Azteca Underground. The group is being teased as the remnants of Lucha Underground.
MLW’s Azteca Underground faction was addressed recently in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
“The Lucha Underground reboot we wrote about a few weeks ago is actually a project of Konnan and Court Bauer which has to do with the angle they’ve been running on MLW television. The idea is to have Azteca Underground as the spiritual successor to the old Lucha Underground group.”
Major League Wrestling Fusion this week featured a triple threat for the tag-team titles, a middleweight title bout, and the return of Mil Muertes. The full show is available on YouTube and key takeaways from the show are below.
MLW Fusion 3/17 Quick Results:
MLW Middleweight Championship Lio Rush (c) defeated Brian Pillman Jr.
Mil Muertes defeated Mike Parrow
MLW Tag Team Championships Triple Threat Los Parks (c) defeated Injustice and Contra Unit
Lio Rush Retains Over Brian Pillman Jr.
Last week on Fusion, Lio Rush put an open contract up on the wall in the back. Evidently, Brian Pillman Jr. was the first to answer the call and he was granted a shot against Rush this week. After a back and forth match, Rush hit a springboard stunner off the bottom rope followed by his patented frog splash for the win.

Mil Muertes Defeats Mike Parrow
Azteca Underground’s Mil Muertes defeated Mike Parrow this week. Presented by Salina de la Renta, Muertes pinned Parrow after delivering his patented “Straight to Hell” flatliner. That’s 2 wins in a row for the former Lucha Underground Champion, who defeated Savio Vega at Filthy Island.
Muertes and Alexander Hammerstone appear headed to a big match. Last week, Muertes stole Hammerstone’s National Openweight title. Hammerstone cut a promo on the “Man of 1000 Deaths” this week but it is still not clear when he might be able to get his hands on him.
TJP Suspended, Bu Ku Dao Injured
A scheduled match between TJP and Bu Ku Dao did not take place this week. Alicia Atout reported that Bu Ku Dao was injured, there had been some type of incident, and TJP has been suspended. We will likely find out more in the coming weeks.
3-on-3 Chain Match Upcoming Between Team Filthy and The Von Erichs & ACH
Tom Lawlor wants revenge for how the Von Erichs ruined his Filthy Island event. Lawlor cut a promo this week saying him and Team Filthy want to face the Von Erich brothers and their Texan ally, ACH, in a chain match. That match will take place next week.
Azteca Underground Dominates as the Mystery of El Jefe Deepens
This week fans were treated to an expose segment on Azteca Underground. The piece noted that the mysterious “El Jefe” is looking for rental property somewhere, preferably with no police presence nearby.
Azteca Underground’s Los Parks would also defend the MLW tag-team championships this week. The match was originally just to be between Los Parks and Injustice but after members of Contra Unit were involved in a brawl in the back, they were added to the match as well. In the end, it would be LA Park hitting the Spear on Jordan Oliver for the win.
Los Parks and Salina de la Renta celebrated in the ring with the belts to close the show. It was a good night for their Azteca Underground stable.
Coming up in MLW
Next week:
Chain Match Tom Lawlor & Team Filthy vs Ross & Marshall Von Erich and ACH
Never Say Never – March 31st
MLW World Championship Jacob Fatu (c) vs Calvin Tankman
A mysterious group known only as “Azteca Underground” has infiltrated Major League Wrestling. The group’s owner has never been named but is said to have a lot of money and is referred to as “El Jefe” frequently on Fusion. Azteca Underground has purchased Salina de la Renta’s “Promociones Dorado” faction.
Former Lucha Underground Champion, Mil Muertes, has arrived in the promotion as well. He defeated Savio Vega in an Azteca Jungle Fight on MLW’s special “Filthy Island” event. Muertes then returned to MLW on Fusion this week, attacking Alexander Hammerstone and stealing his National Openweight Championship.
MLW recently Tweeted out a link to the Azteca Underground website with a clip of Muertes’ attack on Hammerstone:
Mil Muertes and Azteca Underground
The Azteca Underground website has received some updates since it was first published. Currently, the mysterious webmaster is asking his followers to help with rental space:
Another section of the website states that Azteca Underground is hoping to uncover some lost artifacts:
Details of the artifacts is also included on the website:
So far, the only official members of Azteca Underground are Mil Muertes, Salina de la Renta, LA Park, LA Park Jr. and El Hijo de LA Park. Los Parks currently hold the MLW World Tag Team titles after winning them from Ross & Marshall Von Erich.
MLW Fusion 3/10 featured Alexander Hammerstone vs LA Park in the main event. ACH also took on Team Filthy’s Kevin Ku and Gino Medina went one-on-one with Gringo Loco. The full show is in the player below:
MLW Fusion 3/10 Quick Results:
Gino Medina defeated El Gringo Loco
ACH defeated Kevin Ku
MLW National Openweight Championship Alexander Hammerstone (c) defeated LA Park
Here are the key takeaways from the show:
Alliance Building Between Injustice and Calvin Tankman
Calvin Tankman came to the aid of Injustice last week on Fusion. He’s also been calling out heavyweight champion Jacob Fatu. There appears as though an alliance of sorts building between Tankman and Injustice. This week, Reed and Oliver showed their appreciation for Tankman’s help last week and invited him to join with them against Contra Unit or just for a smoking session.
Gino Medina Defeats Gringo Loco
Former member of the Dynasty, Gino Medina, faced off against Chicago’s favorite luchador, Gringo Loco, this week. Medina’s father was a famous luchador in Mexico, El Sanguinario, who was once a member of the Los Gringos Locos faction.
Medina picked up the win after landing what looked like a question-mark kick to the back of Loco’s head.
After the match, Medina called out his former Dynasty stablemate, Richard Holliday. The last time we saw those two together, they couldn’t seem to agree on if Medina left the stable or if Holliday fired him. It was later revealed that Medina and Holliday got into a backstage brawl and were ejected from the building.
MLW World Middleweight Rankings
Last week on Fusion, the league released top-5 rankings for its tag division for the first time. This week, they did the same with its middleweight division.
MLW World Middleweight Champion: Lio Rush
Laredo Kid
Daivari (Contra Unit)
Myron Reed (Injustice)
Bu Ku Dao
Brian Pillman Jr.
After the rankings were released, Alicia Atout reported that Rush has posted an open contract to the wall in the back. Evidently, Rush feels confident that he can defend his title against anyone. Later in the show, it was revealed that someone had taken the contract but we still don’t know who.
ACH Picks Up Measure Of Revenge Against Team Filthy
Team Filthy is believed to be behind a recent attack on ACH that left him with injured ribs. This week, ACH was able to pick up a measure of revenge on the faction by defeating member Kevin Ku.
ACH received a little help from the Von Erich brothers in this match as well. As ACH was on the outside, Ku’s teammate Dominic Garrini looked to get involved but Ross and Marshall ran out to prevent him from doing so. ACH then dove on top of the pile on the outside before hitting a brainbuster on Ku inside the ring for the win.
The Texas-based wrestlers stood tall in the ring but Tom Lawlor made his way out for a promo. Lawlor had announced earlier in the night that he plans on suing the Von Erichs for what they did to him during his Filthy Island special.
Hammerstone Defends Openweight Title Against LA Park
Alexander Hammerstone had to face all 3 members of Los Parks in this match. It didn’t take long for LA Park to lure the referee out of position and allow his sons to get in some cheap shots on the champion. Hammerstone also had no back-up since Holliday had been ejected from the building after brawling with Gino Medina.
Further interference from Los Parks allowed their father to hit his patented spear on the champion. This normally pins anyone but not Hammer! He kicked out at 2. Park would try another spear but Hammerstone got his foot up, hit a German duplex and then landed an elbow to the back of the head for the win.
Mil Muertes Attacks Alexander Hammerstone
After the match, Mil Muertes came out and attacked Hammerstone. The champion was left laying as Muertes motioned for Salina de la Renta to enter the ring. The “Man of a 1000 deaths” handed Salina the title belt and she held it up to close the show.
Coming Up In MLW
The following matches are booked for upcoming episodes of MLW Fusion.
Next week:
MLW Tag Team Championships Los Parks (c) vs Injustice
TJP vs Bu Ku Dao
Never Say Never – March 31st, 2021
MLW World Championship Jacob Fatu (c) vs Calvin Tankman
On recent episodes of MLW Fusion, Salina de la Renta has summoned former Lucha Underground Champion, Mil Muertes to the promotion. Salina’s faction, Promociones Dorado, has also recently been purchased by a mysterious organization known as, Azteca Underground. Lucha Underground characters appearing in MLW has led to much speculation regarding the nature of the relationship.
Former Lucha Underground head writer, Chris DeJoseph, briefly worked for MLW in 2019. DeJoseph was hired by MLW but left the company just one month later to rejoin WWE. DeJoseph was then fired by WWE 6 months later. He also worked on the WWE Creative Team from 2004-2010. MLW’s Court Bauer also would have worked with DeJoseph in WWE at the same. Bauer was on the WWE Creative Team from 2005 until 2007.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the former creative lead for Lucha Underground recently made contact with MLW about coming back but was turned down. DeJoseph also recently interviewed with Impact Wrestling. “Chris DeJoseph recently had an interview to come in (to Impact Wrestling) as a writer. He had contact with MLW and he was turned down,” wrote Dave Meltzer.
Update: SEScoops reached out to MLW to obtain clarification on this report. According to a high-ranking official, Chris DeJoseph had “no talks” with Chris DeJoseph and the Observer report is inaccurate.
Major League Wrestling (MLW) appears to be introducing a brand known as Azteca Underground.
MLW star Salina de la Renta’s “Promociones Dorado” organization has been purchased by Azteca Underground, Inc. The purchase occurred shortly after Salina brought former Lucha Underground Champion, Mil Muertes, to the fight league.
Additionally, MLW has been re-tweeting posts from a newly created Azteca Underground account. The mysterious company (and the association to Mil Muertes) are drawing comparisons to shuttered wrestling promotion, Lucha Underground.
Mil Muertes was a featured character on the cult-favorite show, Lucha Underground, from 2014-2018. Unlike other characters on the show, however, Ricky Banderas obtained the rights to be able to portray Muertes outside of Lucha Underground. MLW has kept the character’s appearance and back story, noting that he was buried alive during the Mexico City Earthquake in 1985. This is what led to Muertes developed a deep connection with death.
Also of note here, is that the network that formerly aired Lucha Underground, the El Rey Network, shut down broadcasting on January 1st.
There have also been reports that MLW is looking at developing a second weekly show as well as special events for DAZN. Muertes recently defeated Brian Pillman Jr. in his first match with MLW.
MLW Fusion This Week
This week on MLW Fusion, we will get the culmination of a long-running feud between Richard Holliday and Savio Vega. TJP will team with Bukudao to go up against Team Filthy’s Violence is Forever (Dominic Garrini & Kevin Ku).
Caribbean Strap Match Richard Holliday vs Savio Vega
TJP & Bukudao vs Violence is Forever (Dominic Garrini & Kevin Ku)
Also in MLW, Salina de la Renta is building a feud with interviewer Alicia Atout. They have been exchanging insults on social media as of late.
Mexican wrestling star Mil Muertes is set to debut for Major League Wrestling this week on MLW Fusion.
The “Man of 1,000 Deaths” has been summoned to MLW by Salina De La Renta, who will serve as Executive Producer of MLW Fusion for the next few weeks.
Mil Muertes was previously known as Ricky Banderas when he wrestled in Puerto Rico. He was a 5-time IWA Heavyweight Champion. In Mexico City he was known as El Mesias, where he held the AAA Heavyweight Championship 4 times.
Mil Muertes reigned supreme in Lucha Underground. His death grip loomed over all… until his temple fell. Since then, he has wandered the earth with an unquenchable desire for revenge. The “seemingly invincible” Mil Muertes now looks to build a shrine of death with the bodies of the men he’s conquered and careers destroyed.
Mil Muertes Arrives in MLW
Wednesday’s episode of MLW Fusion will feature:
MLW World Tag Team Champions The Von Erichs vs. Los Parks: Tornado Match with “Filthy” Tom Lawlor serving as special guest referee
Mil Muertes will debut. There is an ‘open contract’ for whoever chooses to fight him.
MLW Fusion premieres this Wednesday, January 13 at 7PM (Eastern) on MLW’s YouTube Channel, Fubo Sports, DAZN and Roku.
Catch up on the latest MLW News and check our takeaways from last week’s Kings of Colosseum special:
Dario is shown searching for something above a removed ceiling tile when Catrina walks in. Dario says, “Good, we need to talk.” Catrina replies, “Mil Muertes almost destroyed your brother.” He interrupts, “Actually I think you have it backwards, my brother almost destroyed Mil Muertes.” She says, “Your brother was lucky to escape with his title.” He retorts, “That’s the key phrase, isn’t it, his title. And no one is going to take it from him.” She stops him, “You fear Mil, as you should, but if you deny him this rematch, I promise you it will take a lot more than fear to protect you.” He laughs, “Deny his rematch? No Catrina, you don’t understand. Me is scared, yes, but my brother fears nothing. Whatever power you possess in that rock of yours is nothing compared to the power this key unlocks. Mil is getting his rematch for the title next week. And to prove how little fear I have, let’s make it Mil’s signature match, Grave Consequences.” Catrina likes the idea, “You are much braver than I thought, we accept.” Dario explains, “You know, Mil Muertes vs. The Monster Matanza Cueto in Grave Consequences, that’s good, but why don’t we raise the stakes? Why have 1 coffin, when we can have 4? Next week, will be Graver Consequences.” Catrina replies, “I like the way you think,” and she starts to exit, “Oh and after next week, there will be no question of who destroyed who.” He says, “I’m counting on it,” and looks at the ceiling.
The band Bang Data opens the show. Vampiro welcomes us to the temple, and Matt Striker says every match tonight is for 1 of the 7 ancient Aztec medallions.
Marty “The Moth” Martinez vs. The Mack
Already in the ring is Martinez. Striker says, “He’s been called many things, creepy, annoying, and those are the compliments.” Melissa Santos introduces his opponent, from South Central, Los Angeles, The Mack. Striker says, “You know, in this day and age of sports, sometimes you can just look at a guy and realize that he’s a tough son of a b**** and that man right there embodies every single ounce of the word, fighter, talking about The Mack.”
As Mack approaches the ring, Martinez crawls out to the apron, Mack slide thru and knocks Martinez to the floor, Mack runs the ropes and front flips onto Martinez while still wearing his ring jacket. Mack throws Martinez back into the ring, kick by Mack, deadlift German suplex, belly-to-belly suplex, cover, kick out. Mack with a belly-to-back Northern Lights suplex, and Martinez rolls around the ring laughing. Mack picks him up, slaps him in the face, whip reversal off the ropes, Mack ducks a clothesline, and then Martinez hits a standing drop kick. Martinez raining down punches on the Mack, then Martinez takes off his Aztec Pride t-shirt, wiggles his hips, and licks his fingers. Martinez throws his t-shirt at Melissa Santos as Vampiro says, “She better get a tetanus shot, a rabies shot, and take a bath.”
Martinez rolls Mack to the corner and stomps on him, plays to the crowd, whip double reversal sends Mack into the turnbuckle, Martinez hits the Exploder into the second turnbuckle, cover, but Mack kicks out at 2. Martinez covers again, kickout, and he yells at the referee. Side headlock by Martinez, the Mack gets to his feet, shot to the gut, throws Martinez off the ropes, and nails him with a clothesline. Martinez gets up and then meets a spinning heel kick by Mack, pick up powerslam, Mack runs the ropes, and nails the leg drop, brother. Kick and a stunner by Mack, the fans chant, “One more time!” and then a helicopter stunner, cover, 1-2-3.
Winner: The Mack
The Mack gets a yellow medallion bag to match his yellow trunks and yellow knee pads. Mack starts chewing on the medallion and then realizes it isn’t chocolate.
Catrina is in the locker room with King Cuerno, “Next week, Mil Muertes will regain his Lucha Underground Championship, but this time it will not be you entrusted with the Gift of the Gods, it will be my disciple Sinestro de la Muerte.” Cuerno replies, “No, you see, tonight your disciple is my prey, because he stands between me and my Aztec medallion. And if Mil does get the Lucha Underground Championship back, well, I won’t make the same mistake I made last time. I will take the title off of him, and Mil’s rotting carcass will be the most prized possession in my trophy room, because the hunt is on.” He smells her, walks away, she runs her fingernails down the lockers, and then the whole place shakes with thunder as her eyes glow red.
There is a knock on the door of Dario’s office, “Come in. Oh Sexy, please have a seat. I know you and I have not always gotten along, but I want you to know, I respect you. And I know something happened to you, something very bad, because I have seen the change in your eyes. It’s not the first time I’ve seen that look. I saw it many years ago reflected in the mirror, my mother, she was, how do I put this, an evil bitch. She did cruel thing to my brother and I, we were captives to her cruel and sick desires. Sound familiar? The only way to stop my mother from torturing us, was when we stood up and said no more. Whatever Mariposa did to you, tonight you will say no more, because I’m giving you the chance, to not only win an Aztec medallion but to make Mariposa pay, and pay dearly. So senorita, do you like that?” She replies, “Yes.” Dario continues, “Excellent, because the pain Mariposa inflicted on you, you will now get to inflict the same pain on to her until she screams ‘No mas!’ It will be a ‘No Mas’ match, the only way to win, is when one of you shouts, ‘No mas!’ But here’s a secret, once you make her cry out ‘No mas!’, once the match is over, don’t stop. Because if you ever want that look in your eyes to go away, you have to put the same look of pure terror in her eyes. Trust me it works. Do you understand?” She stands up and says, “Yes I understand,” and walks away.
Sinestro de la Muerte vs. King Cuerno
In the ring, accompanied by Catrina is Sinestro de la Muerte. Making his way to the ring next is King Cuerno. Striker says, “He wears an 11 point buck on his head as a message to his opponents that he collects trophies in the form of souls.” Cuerno blesses the ring and gets ready for work.
Running dropkick to the chest by Cuerno, 6 stomps, whip by Cuerno, duck under and then drop kick to Sinestro. Kick to the back of the leg by Cuerno, Irish whip into the corner, running double knee, swinging cutter, backs Sinestro into the ropes, and then a loud open-handed slap to the chest, whip reversal, Cuerno ducks a clothesline and then a hits running hurricanrana. Cuerno reaches back and poses with his bow, goes to run the ropes, but Catrina climbs up on the apron and smacks him in the face with a rock. Sinestro springboards off the ropes with a guillotine leg drop to the back of the head, cover, 1-2-3.
Winner: Sinestro de la Muerte
Sinestro receives a purple medallion sack to match his purple mask and purple ring gear. After the match, Catrina crawls into the ring, seductively straddles Cuerno, lifts up his head to give him the Kiss of Death blessing with her tongue, but then punches him in the side of the head.
In the back, Mascarita Sagrada is doing arm curls. Famous B enters, “I hope you are ready, because I just set up the biggest match of the century for you. And when you beat this man, you’re going to be Famous. And get this, he already has an Aztec medallion and has agreed to put it on the line, tonight, against you. So come on, your match is next, stop stalling, start balling. Famous B puts a cape on Sagrada and they exit.
Dario’s office door opens. Dario asks, “What is it I’m missing?” Chavo Guerrero Jr. responds, “I’ll tell you what is, how come I don’t have a match for one of the medallions.” Dario explains, “Because I don’t think you deserve one.” Chavo is in disbelief, “Excuse me?” Dario continues, “I don’t think you deserve one. When I give you the match of your life for the Lucha Underground Championship, what do you do? You got hurt. You’ve been in Aztec Warfare and lost twice, let’s face it Chavo, you don’t exactly step up to these opportunities so, I’m done giving them to you.” Chavo replies, “You want me to seize the opportunity, huh? No problem,” and walks out and slams the door.
Mascarita Sagrada vs. Cage
Melissa Santos starts to introduce the first competitor before she is interrupted by Famous B, “Hold up, hold up, hold up. My name is Famous B. And people all around the world have been making my hotline bling. By calling me at 423-GET-FAME. That’s 423-GET-FAME.” Famous B hands a nearby female fan a business card, “Here you go, give me a call, give me a call, that’s right. So without further ado, I am proud to present to all of you, my new client, now hailing from Little Hollywood, California, accompanied by the beautiful Brenda, make some noise for Mascarita Sagrada.” Sagrada, Famous B, and Brenda all make their way to the ring. Melissa introduces his opponent in her sexiest voice, “From the 559, Cage.” Matt Striker asks, “What?” Sagrada blesses himself repeatedly in the ring.
Sagrada goes for the leg, but Cage kicks him away. Cage goes for the running boot, but Sagrada gets out of the way, and then kicks Cage in the back of the leg. Sagrada runs the ropes, spins around his shoulders, front facelock, before Cage flips him to the mat. Cage runs into the corner, drop toe hold by Sagrada, Sagrada runs into the corner, Cage flips him over-the-top to the apron, Sagrada climbs to the top turnbuckle and goes for a crossbody, but Cage catches him, lifts him on his shoulders, then a Metallingus fireman’s carry facebuster, 1-2-3.
Winner: Cage
After the match, Cage, Brenda, and Famous B all come in to check on Sagrada. Suddenly, someone runs into the ring, and steals Cage’s medallion. Famous B looks at Cage and says, “You got robbed.” Cage looks to the top of the stairs, and it’s Chavo holding the medallion, and Cage takes off after him. Famous B tells Sagrada, “It’s okay, no no no, we’ll get him next time.”

They walk across the balcony, Mariposa shoves a bunch of fans out of the way, climb to the rail, but Sexy pushes her off onto the top of Dario’s office, Sexy kicks her in the head, and then climbs even higher as the fans chant, “Holy s***!”
Mariposa follows her up the ladder, Sexy is kicking Mariposa in the head, and they’re up in the rafters now.

Sexy gets up, kicks Mariposa in the gut a few times, and begins to climb down. Vampiro is back on commentary now.

Mack offers her a hand, gives her the Aztec medallion, she asks, “This is mine?” and then kisses it with her blood and the Mack raises her hand, she hugs Mack and wraps her legs around him, and the fans chant, “You deserve it!” as the credits roll.
Recap of Lucha Underground Season 2 Episode 9 – Aztec Warfare II – March 23, 2016
Fenix enters the warrior’s gym and is met by Pentagon Jr. Catrina appears, “Your master may be teaching you about the dark parts, but you know nothing about the darkness. I don’t even know why you’re here. You never received an invitation to compete in Aztec Warfare. You lost your privilege when you put your hands on me.” Pentagon Jr. replies, “You don’t scare me and neither does Mil Muertes. You don’t tell me what to do. I only listen to one person and that person is my master. I am Pentagon Jr. and I have zero fear. Catrina replies, “The only reason you have zero fear is because you don’t know true fear. As for you Fenix, last week you barely survived, tonight you will have to take your last breath and Mil will take his title back.” Catrina disappears, Pentagon Jr. and Fenix stare each other down and walk away.
As we get our first look inside the temple tonight, the fans chant “Aztec Warfare!” A tribal band, in wild, extravagant headgear, feathers, and colorful garb play the drums and dance. Matt Striker and Vampiro tell us tonight, for the first time ever, the Lucha Underground Championship will be defended at Aztec Warfare. 20 men will compete, every 90 seconds another participant will enter, and the only way to be eliminated is pinfall or submission. Matt says “Not to stir the pot, Pentagon Jr. was not invited.” Vampiro says “That is wacked. You know it and I know it. But it is what it is.” Matt says “Let the drums beat and let Aztec Warfare begin.”
Melissa Santos introduces us to Aztec Warfare and the first participant hailing from Mexico City, Mexico is Fenix. Fenix enters, stands at the top of the stairs, and spits sprays. He is high-fiving the fans on the way to the ring, one week into his reign as Lucha Underground champion, the fans are clearly on his side. The second entrant, by random draw, from San Diego, California, Rey Mysterio. The roof might just blow off this place. The King of Lucha Libre, as they call him, enters the temple, and climbs in the ring at Lucha Underground for the first time ever. Fenix motions for Rey to take his due applause on the turnbuckle. The fans pop big. The two men shake hands in the middle of the ring. Fenix takes off his belt, looks at it and hands it to the referee who hoists it to the crowd. The fans chant “Animal!” Vampiro tells us that “Animal” is the cry of the Mexican warrior. The fans chant “Lucha Libre!” The bell rings and we are underway, the fans are excited to get going.
Fenix shakes Rey’s hand again and embraces him in a show of respect. The two men lock up in the middle of the ring. Fenix throws Rey off the ropes, leapfrog, Rey up and over again, Rey circling around the head neck and shoulders of Fenix, then spins off and the crowd applauds. Fenix hits the ropes, looks like Rey might hit a 619, but Fenix is to his feet and hits him with a superkick. Fenix does a handspring off the ropes and hooks Rey Mysterio with an inside arm drag, pin attempt, kickout, both men are up. Kick misses, then kick to the gut, Rey throws Fenix off the ropes, but Fenix catches himself and circles through with his feet, reversal Rey off the ropes, but Rey catches himself and circles through same move, then an armdrag before entrant number 3 comes out.
“The Hunter” King Cuerno makes his way to the ring. He delivers a forearm to Rey, a jumping kick to Fenix, Cuerno goes to the corner, but meets a boot from Rey. Rey comes out and does a somersault flip overtop of Cuerno, but catches the worst of it, and “the Hunter” poses with his imaginary bow and arrow. Cuerno hits the ropes for a suicide dive through the middle rope onto Fenix on the floor. The fans chant “Lucha!” Rey Mysterio gets up, a kick to Cuerno knocks him to the floor. Rey now sets up for a suicide dive and instead dives upwards through the bottom rope in a cool looking spot.
Next out is number 4, Argenis. Argenis hits the apron and meets Fenix with a forearm then a springboard hurricanrana off the rope. Fenix gets in a kick, springboards off the middle rope, but is met by a superkick from Argenis. Argenis kicks Rey in arse, kick again, then pin attempt but Rey kicks out at 2. Off the ropes, reversal action, Rey takes out Argenis, knocks Cuerno to the floor, and then hits the 619 on Argenis, climbs to the top rope, frog splash, the pin and Argenis is eliminated. Fans chant “Eddy!” Cuerno tries to get on the apron, but Fenix takes him out and then goes off the rope for a corkscrew plancha onto the floor (some really great rotation). The next competitor, number 5 is introduced, its Johnny Mundo, and we go to commercial.
Mundo and Rey meet in the ring. Forearms to Rey, uppercut, sends Rey to the turnbuckle, Rey up and over, Fenix in, sends Mundo’s kick into Rey, then Fenix connects with a kick. Mundo slams Fenix to the mat and then Fenix and Mundo trade lateral press pin combinations back-and-forth. The next competitor is introduced and it’s Joey Ryan. Ha! The sleazy Joey Ryan oozes and grinds into the temple with lollipop in mouth. He pulls a pair of handcuffs out of his trunks and handcuffs himself to the railing. Matt Striker says it’s a wise strategy, because he can’t be pinned while he’s handcuffed! Cuerno walks by and delivers a superkick to Joey Ryan. Famous B who is watching nearby from the crowd offers Joey money.
Number 7 is out and it’s Prince Puma. He takes out Mundo, Fenix, then Cuerno. Puma sets up and hits a springboard 450 splash onto all all of them. Fans chant “Holy s***!” Striker reminds us that Prince Puma won Aztec Warfare last year. Puma brings Cuerno back into the ring, hooks him by the neck, and sends him to the outside.
Number 8 is introduced, none other than Jack Evans. While Evans is coming down the ramp Rey Mysterio locks in an armbar submission on Cuerno and Cuerno taps. As everyone beats down Mundo, Evans springboards off the rope into the ring and misses everybody. Mysterio, Puma, and Fenix continue to beat him down. Johnny Mundo wants to join in on the fun and gets in a couple stomps in, before all three men decide to turn around and chop him to the outside. Rey Mysterio on the top turnbuckle, stands on Fenix’s shoulders, as they walk across the ring, Rey hits a diving splash onto Evans, pin attempt, but Mundo pulls Evans out of the ring to safety. Mundo turns to Evans as if to say wait, let’s see who’s coming next and here comes number 9, female wrestler Taya. She gets a huge pop from the fans, as well as Mundo and Evans.
The sides are evened up now, 3 rudos (heels), 3 technicos (faces), plus Joey Ryan who is still handcuffed to the rail. All six competitors brawl, Evans pulls down the top rope, and Puma goes to the outside, holding his knee in pain after he lands. Mundo throws Mysterio into the corner and bounces off the ropes for a kick. Taya and Evans stretch Mysterio out as Mundo stands over him and slaps him in the face. Number 10 comes out and it’s the power house Cage. Mundo gets hip blocked, Taya gets taken out, Evans goes for a dropkick that has no effect and then meets a clothesline from Cage. Cage picks up Evans throws him across the ring and we go to commercial.
After commercial, Cage goes to the outside catches Mundo goes for powerbomb but Taya jumps off, Cage catches her and then slams her to the floor. Mundo hits a superkick on Cage, Mundo jumps up on the ring apron and hits a spinning kick on Cage, then picks him up and throws him through the office window.
Number 11 is midget luchador Mascarita Sagrada. Sagrada comes in with some fast spinning twirling offense on Fenix, suicide dive to the outside, but Mundo catches him, then superkicks him. In the meantime, Cage has returned from the office window, spinning lariat nails Mundo, then delivers Weapon X face first to the floor. Cage throws Mundo back in the ring, Mundo gets caught with a running flip from Prince Puma and pinned, Mundo is eliminated. Jack Evans back in the ring with a corkscrew kick, Cage slams Laya into the ring apron.

Sagrada goes after Martinez, slaps, kicks, hits the ropes, but meets a boot. Evans is up now, hits a spinning kick to the back of Martinez head, but Martinez stays on his feet and laughs it off. Evans hits the ropes, gets caught in a body scissors reversal, and Martinez slams him face first to the mat. Martinez grabs Evans by the mouth and stretches his mouth wide open, laughing maniacally. Evans bites his fingers, then throws him to the floor. Number 13 is Drago, the blue and white dragon, and we go to commercial.
Back from break and Drago is running down the steps. Jack Evans meets him with a cartwheel flip over the top rope, misses, lands on his feet, Drago delivers a kick. Drago goes to spray the green mist in Evans face, but Evans ducks and Joey Ryan gets sprayed instead. Drago throws Evans into the crowd. Rey Mysterio is in the ring working over Martinez, Sagrada joins in and Rey hits a diving splash and covers him while Sagrada flips over Rey and holds onto Martinez’s legs for the combined pin, Martinez is eliminated. Back on the outside, Jack Evans gets thrown from the first level of crowd seats onto the floor. Cage and Puma brawl on the outside.
Next number 14 is The Mack. Mack comes down kicks and delivers a stunner to Martinez on the floor. There are bodies everywhere. Mac enters the ring and stands toe-to-toe with Cage, they exchanged blows, Mac hits a flying knee strike on Cage, then stunner. Joey Ryan is still handcuffed. Prince Puma slaps him and then Fenix throws Sagrada into him.
Chavo Guerrero Jr. comes out as number 15. Taya beats down Sagrada, Drago delivers a powerbomb to Evans on the bleachers. Back in the ring, Sagrada goes for a crossbody but Chavo catches him, and slams him repeatedly into the turnbuckle, then tosses him to the mat. Cage delivers a backdrop on Rey. Chavo locks in the Camel Clutch on Sagrada, Vampiro says “That’s not called the Camel Clutch. That’s la de a caballo, invented by Gory Guerrero. Look, let’s not call it a horse or a camel, right now it’s more like a pony clutch!” and Sagrada taps. Cage sets up Rey for a powerbomb, but Rey sends his head to the middle rope. Rey sets up for the 619, but Taya holds the rope and Rey goes to the outside. With Cage still stationed on the ropes, Mundo brings out a cinder block and smashes it over Cage’s head.

Aero Star on Black, Irish whip reversal, Aero Star gets caught by Jack’s elbow. Drago goes for hurricanrana, spins around Black, Black catches him and delivers a brain buster, while Aero Star drops Evans off the top rope onto his head.

And finally number 20 is Mil Muertes with Catrina, but coming through the crowd is Pentagon Jr!

The fans pop huge for Pentagon Jr. Pentagon throws Muertes into the ring, Rey immediately hits a diving splash off the top rope, Puma helps with the pin and Muertes is eliminated.
Catrina is angry, Muertes is angry. Muertes heads off to the back after Pentagon Jr., while Catrina screams at the Vampiro to get up from the announce table. She yells at him to get out of here, slaps him, before Dario Cueto appears on the steps. “My name is Dario Cueto and this is my temple. Which means that I am in charge now. I’m the boss. So now, I announce there is one more entrance in Aztec Warfare, my brother, “The Monster” Matanza Cueto at number 21.” Matanza is massive. Matanza walks slowly, steadily towards the ring, wearing a black workman’s jumpsuit wearing and a black alien-looking mask. All 7 men circle him and try to attack, but he throws them off.
Fenix comes in, gets slammed to the mat, and pinned, 1-2-3. We are now guaranteed to have a new champion. Next Mack is in, gives him the double middle finger and stunner to no effect.

There are four men left on the outside, Mysterio, Puma, Chavo, and Azteca. They are all staring at The Monster, until Chavo turns and attacks everybody.

The monster is dominating everyone. Chavo tries to strike a deal with Dario, enters the ring and tries to convince Matanza to team up, but Matanza hits him with a lariat, then a slam, and pins Chavo.

Rey climbs into the ring slowly and Striker delivers the call, “We’re down to the last two men, here we go!” Each competitor sizing each other up, Rey runs in, but Matanza throws him back. Rey hits the ropes, Matanza nails a clothesline. Fans sing “Cueto” (similar to Pittsburgh Pirates fans mockingly singing “Cueto” at Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto in the 2013 National League Wild Card Game). Rey hits the ropes, slides underneath, and from his back delivers two kicks to Matanza’s head. The Monster catches his leg, but Rey connects with an enziguri to the back of head.

The following report comes courtesy of F4WOnline.com:
Dark match:
Jeff Cobb defeated El Mariachi Loco
Wednesday, February 24th:
Jack Evans defeated PJ Black
Jack cut a heel promo on the crowd before the match started where he called himself “The Dragon Slayer”. Midway through, Drago appeared on one of the corner platforms wearing a dragon skull and taunting Jack with nunchucks. Finish saw Drago come down and try to spit mist at Jack, but ended up hitting PJ which led to a rollup.
King Cuerno defeated Killshot
They messed up a move on the apron but it didn’t take much away from the match. Cuerno kept beating on Killshot afterwards until Fenix came out for the save
Chavo Guerrero, Mr Cisco, & Cortez Castro defeated El Texano Jr in a gauntlet match
Cisco is eliminated within 10 seconds after a kick to the face, Castro put up more of a fight in that it took just 2 minutes to beat him. Most of the match was Chavo/Texano with Cortez using Texano’s rope to trip him and hold his feet down for the cover
Johnny Mundo defeated Cage
A woman came out to distract Cage but I could not identify her (Blonde hair, similar attire to Asuka). After the match, both of them beat down and taunted Cage. Good match
Wednesday, March 2nd:
Cobra ??? (Last name sounded like Moon) defeated Sexy Star via submission
Cobra made her debut and looked to be Cheerleader Melissa under a blue snakeskin bodysuit (If it helps, she had a tiki tattoo on the back of her neck). The Mack came out to cheer Sexy on and Marty the Moth was in the stands near the end to distract Sexy. Cobra won with a rear naked choke and did some hissing towards Marty, clearly some type of relationship between them.
Prince Puma vs Pentagon Jr went to a no contest
Nice back & forth matchup until Mil Muertes ran 5 minutes into the match and beat both of them out. Mil left both laying with a double flatliner
Fenix defeated King Cuerno in a ladder match to regain the Gift of the Gods title
Awesome ladder match which saw them fight in the stands and in the floor seats. Match ended with Fenix giving Cuerno a top-rope hurricanrana through a table, then grabbing the title. The tapings ended with a staredown between Mil Muertes from his throne and Fenix on the ladder.
