OMG! Luchafans, there’s so much going on for this week’s episode! First, we’ve got Joey Ryan returning to the ring and likely confronting The Crew and Chavo Guerrero – who he’s supposed to take down, along with former Temple Proprietor Dario Cueto! The deadly Texano Jr. is also returning to the ring tonight, and let’s hope we see the time and space-traveling Aero Star! PLUS – Pentagon Junior and Prince Puma continue their feud to the ring as tonight’s ultimate main event! Also – what will happen to Fenix now that he defeated the current Gift of the Gods Champion King Cuerno in a Last Luchador Standing match that was supposed to prevent him from ever flying again? Who the hell knows – we find out tonight!
Plus – will Dario Cueto return to the Temple with The Crew? Will the dark Black Lotus be with him? Is there really a second Temple in the making? And what about the other wrestlers we haven’t seen a while – such as The Unlikely Trio of Ivelisse, Angelico, and Son of Havoc, plus Sexy Star and Marty “The Moth” Martinez? Return here tonight at 8 P.M. EST for full live coverage and play-by-plays of tonight’s all-new episode! In the meantime, you can check out last week’s live coverage and its accompanying complete, detailed recap!

It’s 8, Believers!!!
We get a recap of the Season 2 Premiere, when The Unlikely Trio of Ivelisse, her boyfriend Son of Havoc, and Angelico fought each other for the Number 1 Contender to Mil Muertes’s LU Championship Match! Ivelisse lost that night, and recall that Pentagon Jr. and Prince Puma intervened.
Back to the present. We’re in Catrina’s office. Ivelisse wants to talk. She’d be champ if it weren’t for the Disciples. Catrina thinks Ivelisse got lucky with the mercy her and Mil gave her. Ivelisse gives a proposal. Catrina says no – apparently there are no automatic rematch clauses. Ivelisse wants the Trios Titles back in the hands of the Unlikely Trio. Catrina gives the Lick of Death to the knife – and the camera. Phew.
#LickOfDeath seems redundant here. #LuchaUnderground pic.twitter.com/mOCIbHYsxj

We’re in the Temple ring. “This is not church, but it is the Temple!” Vampiro’s a little less crazy tonight.
Whistles for Melissa! Here comes The Unlikely Trio for the opening match – a Lucha Underground Trios Championship Match! They are fan favorites. Intense chants and stomping for Angelico!
OMG HERE COMES THE CREW. And Chavo Guerrero Jr.! Whew. Matt Striker says Cisco is the most dangerous. Boos from the crowd. Mil watches from his throne. Any of these six could challenge Mil for the title. Suddenly, the crowd chants for Guerrero.
Tag Team Match: The Crew vs. The Unlikely Trio
Here we go! Angelico vs. Cisco. Cisco kicks Angelico. Lots of counters. Leapfrog. Angelico’s got Cisco. He tags Ivelisse! Cisco gets her but she counters. She’s in the corner with Cortez. He pushes her. He goes for a suplex – she reverses! Back elbow. Kicks away clothesline. She kicks his back. She goes for the pin! Kick out by Cortez at 1. Cortez punches Ivelisse. She’s limp – that really took a lot out of her.

Chavo is back in. Chavo holds her down in the turnbuckle. Chavo goes for the pin but she kicks out and screams. She kicks Chavo. Kick to the hamstring, she does a back heel!

Kick out. He does a handspring back elbow. Chants for Havoc. Havoc is knocked out. He gets The Crew Treatment – ouch. Havoc is suplexed, and pins Havoc. He kicks out. He’s in a hold. He gets out and counters Cisco, who’s on his game tonight, says Striker. Cisco gives Havoc a wedgie. Most of The Crew is out of the ring.

Chavo grabs his hair but Angelico counters. Chavo’s out. Havoc and Angelico flip out of the ring and onto The Crew on the floor!
I love it when a plan comes together. #LuchaUnderground pic.twitter.com/vGKCekaeMM

We cut to commercial!
We’re back!
Johnny Mundo Promo
Johnny Mundo’s got some facts to share. Oh yes. We get a video package of him. He hasn’t been treated like the star he is. He was the opening match of last season’s Ultima Lucha, which he sees as a disgrace – but he still stole the show. Can someone make a Johnny Mundo standee for me, please? He wants to be the LU Champion. We get a recap of his encounter in episode two with Brian Cage, who also wants the championship. Mundo will make Cage obsolete – because it’s his world, and everyone else is just living in it.
This is Johnny Mundo's world. Deal with it. #LuchaUnderground pic.twitter.com/599GZ67akr

We’re back! Time for Joey Ryan’s match! He pours oil all over himself. Vampiro’s going to have an anxiety attack. He also has video tapes of his uncle in the 70s… But Striker tells him to shut up.

Ryan looks on. Striker likes his clean look, without tattoos.
Singles Match: Joey Ryan vs. Brian Cage
Cheers for Joey! Lock between the two. Joey still has his lollipop. He uses it as a weapon on Cage! The ref isn’t very happy about it. Cage has Ryan in the corner and drags him. Great hit! Cage is really showing off his strength. Throw. Ryan dodges another attack and Cage runs into the turnbuckle. Ryan has momentum! Dropkick by Ryan!
When your Machine is on the fritz, just give it a little dropkick. #LuchaUnderground pic.twitter.com/FSKZtz6bkU

Joey kicks Cage. He’s got his hand on Cage in a weird place. Cage now has momentum, despite that. Joey counters, but Cage does a moonsault, and misses.

Mil watches. Mundo did a spear similar to Mil’s favorite move. Cheers for Johnny Mundo! Cage retaliates. Mundo jumps off the ropes but no luck. Weapon X by Cage! Intense cheers for him.

Headlock by Pentagon. Blocked a suplex by Puma. Pentagon’s losing momentum. Nicely done counter by Pentagon! He pins Puma, but he kicks out! Puma won’t budge in a head trap! He’s got momentum again – they’re both tired.

Pentagon begins a signature move but Puma slips out! Something flies out of Pentagon’s mouth! Puma retaliates and covers! Kick out at 2!
