A Unique Opportunity has presented itself, Believers! Welcome to the full preview and live coverage of tonight’s episode of Lucha Underground! Tonight’s the night: Part I of Ultima Lucha Dos! Coming at ya with huge predictions and recaps of the stories so far!

Scheduled for tonight is A Unique Opportunity four-way match with “The Machine” Brian Cage, Texano, Jr., The Mack, and Son of Havoc! The winner will face a life-changing, career-defining decision, presented by Temple Proprietor Dario Cueto.

Will Brian Cage win the match and earn a second change after turning in his Gift of the Gods title, only to lose the Lucha Underground Championship? How about Texano, one of the baddest heels on the roster? And The Mack certainly deserves his time in the spotlight. Moreover, Son of Havoc has become comfortable on his own, away from the The Unlikely Trio that is him, Ivelisse, and Angelico, and could use even more singles action. We’ll watch and see!

Catrina used her wicked ways to get this match! The Man of 1001 Deaths will get his rematch – and perhaps his revenge – against King Cuerno in a singles Death Match! While Mil Muertes is alive and well with his specter, it’s common knowledge that the gift of life itself isn’t enough for this luchador. And to be displayed like a prized animal in the Hunter’s cabin? Looks like this time, King Cuerno will regret the day he ever became the Hunter.

We’re also finally getting the in-ring debut of Dario Cueto’s bodyguard and the former student of El Dragon Azteca I, Black Lotus! After years of searching for the one responsible for the massacre of her family, Black Lotus discovered the possible perpetrator – “The Monster” Matanza Cueto. But that was before El Dragon Azteca I led her away from the opportunity for vengeance, for her safety’s sake. Her desire to murder the Monster ultimately consumed her, leading to the death of her sensei. Lotus and the Cuetos escaped from the Temple to hide until the dust settled, while El Dragon Azteca, Jr. trained under Rey Mysterio, Jr.

If Black Lotus wins this match, then she earns El Dragon Azteca’s mask – the identity that has become the very core of Azteca, Jr. Should we expect a win from the debuting bodyguard and lackey of the Cuetos? Or will Azteca’s talent triumph over her quest for revenge?

We’ve also been gifted another seven-way match from the gods! This Elimination Match features all of the latest winners of the Ancient Aztec Medallions that make up the Gift of the Gods title: Sexy Star vs. Daga vs. El Sinestro de la Muerte vs. Marty “The Moth” Martinez vs. Mariposa vs. Killshot vs. the in-ring debuting and newest luchador, Night Claw! His participation will be revealed to the other six, unsuspecting competitors during Ultima Lucha Dos! He was gifted a Medallion before the other matches. Should we expect him to walk away with the title? Or will one of these other deserving wrestlers take away his chance?

Perhaps we’ll see one of the two babyfaces of the Moth feuds earn the title – Sexy Star or Killshot. We witnessed the tension between Sexy and Mariposa during the Medallion match with Taya Valkyrie and Ivelisse. However, Killshot is also after Marty the Moth, but for more than just his stolen dog tags – he wants his dignity back, and honor for his fallen brothers. Perhaps we should also expect interference from Kobra Moon, considering wherever Daga goes, the slithering serpent follows.

This hype is going to be the death of me – talk about a dream match with a championship on the line to boot! Vampiro, the master of Pentagon, Jr., has groomed his pet for this moment. After getting paralyzed, breaking his back, and enduring Vampiro’s torture, Pentagon is back. But is it his moment? Is it his time? Is he truly ready? Or will Vampiro have failed? Get ready for an intense, hardcore championship match, but perhaps not one with a different champion, but with a gruesome, unhappy ending in a violent Temple. Eventually, we’ll see Pentagon overcome the failures. Cero miedo.

Speaking of dream matches, here’s another one right here. Prince Puma closed the show recently with an incredible promo (and Puma said recently on the Steve Austin podcast he doesn’t have mic skills – BS!) and El Rey himself accepted his open challenge. The match itself feels more important than the winner, and considering the frustration and instability Puma has exhibited in the past few episodes, we know it’s going to be Mysterio. This is Mysterio’s first Ultima Lucha, and there are also rumors of Prince Puma (Ricochet) leaving LU for other wrestling pursuits.

We have a women’s match scheduled for you Believers, and it’s between two of one of the most talented luchadoras in the world today! It’s “The Perfect Woman” Taya Valkyrie vs. “The Baddest Bitch of the Building,” La Siciria, Ivelisse! These two have much in common – both come from well-decorated tag teams, both have been valets for their boyfriends (Johnny Mundo and Son of Havoc), both have talent, and both take no shit from anybody. And yet, they can’t seem to get along, so it’s time to settle the score! While Taya has proved herself each time in every single match in which she’s participated, Ivelisse has reigned in the Temple longer. For The Baddest Bitch, Taya is just a stop on the road to her ultimate enemy: Catrina. I was hoping we would see Catrina vs. Ivelisse, but perhaps that’s for next season… Besides, Taya has plenty to take care of with her team, The Worldwide Underground.

Last but definitely not least, we have The Super Friends, the team of Drago, Fenix, and Aerostar vs. The Worldwide Underground, the team of “The Darewolf” PJ Black, Johnny Mundo, and Jack Evans, the current Tag Team Trios Champions! All six of these luchadores have beef with one another. PJ and Evans beat up Drago in a bathroom, but Aerostar came to his rescue with his time and space travel skillz – and Mundo knocked out Fenix, taking his spot in the Trios titles match. Fenix settled some of his grudge at Six to Survive, but it wasn’t enough. Now, he wants the title – and why not get the help of a dragon dude and the Aztec spaceman from the ancient prophecy? Can The Super Friends superpowers overcome the Temple gold-holding heel heat? Worldwide Underground retaining the titles feels like it’s best for business, after the babyface Dream Team of Prince Puma, Rey Mysterio, Jr., and El Dragon Azteca, Jr. held them for that while. Plus, we get more heat going into Season 3.

Whew! What a preview! Give your headspace a break with tonight’s Twitter buzz!
