LU + Impact

Lucha Underground Season 4 Episode 2

-Commentators:  Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-In King Cuerno's trophy room:  Catrina Perez materialized in search of the Gauntlet Of The Gods, but found it missing from its stand...Cuerno said that some trophies are too dangerous to display and that the gauntlet had the power to destroy the seven ancient Aztec tribes.  Catrina said that she needed the gauntlet to get her life force back...Cuerno said he gave the gauntlet to "someone" for safe keeping, adding that he didn't know where or WHEN he hid it.  After that, Catrina disappeared from the room...
-The Trios Champions were scheduled to defend against El Texano Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., & Famous B...but B(w/ Beautiful Brenda) said that ring announcer Melissa Santos didn't have her facts straight.  However, Texano and Wagner were busy making money for him in Mexico...so he had three new clients.
-Willie Mack, Killshot, & Son Of Havoc d. "The Savage" Jake Strong(fka Jack Swagger), Sammy Guevara, & Big Bad Steve(who previously worked as Pindar)(w/ Famous B & Beautiful Brenda); Strong seemingly had the mtch won with the anklelock on Killshot, but Famous B had the referee's attention at the wrong time.  The champs turned the tide and Havoc pinned Steve after the shooting star press (5:30).  Strong snapped and attacked his partners after the match, even throwing Famous B across the ring and hooking the anklelock, giving it a final twist to seemingly "snap" the ankle.
-Promoter Antonio Cueto announced that the Aztec Medallions would be back in play, starting with the next matchup...
-For Aztec Medallion #1:  Dragon Azteca Jr. d. Drago(w/ Kobra Moon) with a top-rope victory roll (6:08).  Kobra put the badmouth on Drago, but Johnny Mundo arrived to trash-talk the pair (since Mundo eliminated Daga last week, prompting Kobra to send in Vibora after Mundo).  Mundo was simply a distraction as Taya Valkyrie entered the ring from the other side to attack Kobra...then Mundo kicked Drago in the groin from behind and laid him out with a basement knee strike.
-Backstage in Antonio Cueto's office:  Antonio prepared to release Matanza from his cell, but Catrina materialized in his presence.  Catrina said she was stuck between the physical realm and the spirit realm...but she wanted Mil Muertes to face Fenix in Grave Consequences to steal his life force.  Antonio made it so, asking if it'll mean she has to knock next time she visits his office...she said "yes" and BAMFed out of there.
-Pentagon Dark d. Matanza Cueto(w/ Antonio Cueto) after two Canadian Destroyers and the package piledriver to retain the Lucha Underground Title (7:45).  Pentagon went for the armbar/hammerlock combo to break Matanza's arm, but Antonio held up the key and Matanza powered out of the hold before rolling out of the ring.  Antonio slapped the monster and called him "weak" before leading him to the backstage area.
-Backstage:  Jeremiah Crane entered Antonio's office...Antonio was not in the mood, but Crane wanted into the casket match to bury both Fenix and Mil.  Antonio declared that it would happen next week:  The first "Three Way To The Grave" Match!

-The New Latin-American XChange(Angel Ortiz & Santana Draztik)(w/ Eddie Kingston) d. D.J. Shiima Xion & Andrew Everett to win the Tag Team Titles; Santana pinned Everett after he and Ortiz hit the Street Sweeper(sitout powerbomb/Buff Blockbuster combo) (9:29 aired).
-"Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner d. Kevin Matthews with the Steiner Recliner(camel clutch) (2:42).

-Pentagon Jr. & El Hijo Del Fantasma d. Ohio Vs. Everything(Jake & Dave Crist)(w/ Sami Callihan) when Pentagon pinned Jake after the pumphandle Michinoku Driver (12:03 aired).  Callihan & OvE beat down Pentagon after the match and nearly ripped off his mask before Fantasma ran them off with a chair.
