Lucha Underground Season 3 Episode 5

-Commentators:  Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-The show started with promoter Dario Cueto spinning his Dial Of Doom to determine Heavyweight Champion Matanza Cueto's next challenger.  While the wheel previously came up with Son Of Havoc and Willie Mack, this time the challenger was determined to be...Prince Puma!
-Ivelisse Velez d. Mariposa(w/ Marty "The Moth" Martinez with a sunset flip into a Code Red (6:17).  Marty attacked Ivelisse after the match, then wheelbarrowed Mariposa into an assisted splash on Ivelisse.
-Backstage in Dario Cueto's office:  Dario spoke on the phone with someone, claiming to not be worried about Puma's challenge.  He got a visit from Johnny Mundo, who complained about "Mr. Losing Streak" getting the shot instead of him.  He wanted a real title shot, even being willing to settle for a shot at Sexy Star's Gift Of The Gods Title.  Dario noted that Sexy Star was pinned in last week's eight-person tag...but by Jack Evans, so Jack would get the title shot at her on next week's show.  Mundo didn't take that too well and stormed out of the office.
-A vignette aired:  "Follow the white rabbit...they'll be here soon."
-Match 2 Of Best-Of-5 Series:  Brian Cage d. El Texano Jr. after an F-5 (6:26).  (Cage leads the series 2-0.)
-Backstage:  Ivelisse was met by her apparently boyfriend Jeremiah Gray(Sami Callihan)...he had arrived a bit late to see her match and saw that she'd been beaten up, asking if she needed some backup.  She wanted to keep business and pleasure separate and noted that her previous "work relationship"(Son Of Havoc) didn't work out too well.  Cue ROMANTIC TENSION~!
-Matanza Cueto(w/ Dario Cueto) d. Prince Puma to retain the Heavyweight Title.  Puma was on the verge of victory after hitting the 630 Splash, but Mil Muertes(w/ Catrina Perez) ran into the ring to spear Puma.  Dario ordered the referee to NOT call for a disqualification, even as Mil planted Puma with the Flatliner.  Matanza finished off Puma with the Wrath Of The Gods(rewind powerslam) (12:46).
-Backstage:  Killshot was lifting weights and received a visit from Joey Ryan.  Ryan passed along an envelope and said that "some guy" asked him to give it to Killshot.  Ryan didn't know who the guy was; "What am I, a detective?"  Killshot opened the envelope to find a message simply saying "you left me for dead"...
