Midweek wrestling

Lucha Underground Episode 31

-Commentators:  Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-Promoter Dario Cueto started the show by hyping the upcoming "Ultima Lucha" special.  A title contender would be determined tonight in a four-corner match between previous challengers to Prime Puma's title:  Shawn Hernandez, King Cuerno, Brian Cage, and Fenix.  Unfortunately, Fenix is M.I.A. thanks to Mil Muertes so it'll just be a triple threat match.  Cueto introduced the returning Blue Demon Jr....he wanted to be sure Demon was ready for active competition, so he had a suitable opponent for him.
-Chavo Guerrero Jr.(w/ Cortez Castro & Mr. Cisco) d. Blue Demon Jr. in an anything-goes match after the frog splash (3:06).
-Backstage:  Chavo met with Black Lotus in the underground dungeon...she told him that El Dragon Azteca would find out what he did.
-Backstage:  Cueto was cornered by the returning Drago...he was another previous challenger for Puma's title, so he wants into the contenders' match.  Cueto conceded that he had found a loophole to his banishment...but if he lost this time, he would lose his mask.
-The Disciples Of Death(Barrio Negro, El Siniestro De La Muerte, & Trece)(w/ Catrina Perez) d. Bengala, Pimpinela Escarlata, & Mascarita Sagrada when Trece pinned Pimpinela after a triple-team Dominator (6:57).
-Backstage:  Johnny Mundo met with Cueto about being excluded from the contenders' match.  Cueto said that he could just win the title before Ultima Lucha...he proved himself with his killer instinct against Alberto El Patrón.  He gets a title shot next week against Prince Puma...in an Ironman Match!
-Drago won a four-corner match with Brian Cage, Shawn Hernandez, and King Cuerno; Drago stunned Cuerno with green mist and pinned him with his modified crucifix (10:35).  Killshot watched the match from the balcony.  LU Champion Prince Puma entered the ring to stare down Drago after the match.
-Backstage:  Catrina appeared in Cueto's office to tell him that Mil Muertes should have been in line for a title shot.  Catrina manhandled Cueto until he agreed to book Muertes against Drago in two weeks with the Ultima Lucha title shot at stake.

TNA Impact (Destination X)

-Commentators:  Josh Mathews & "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero.
-Option C Cash-In:  Kurt Angle d. Rockstar Spud with the grapevine anklelock to retain the Heavyweight Title (8:32).  Austin Aries showed off his Feast Or Fired briefcase after the match, reminding Angle of his impending cash-in.
-X-Division Title Tournament:  Low-Ki won a triple threat match with Crazzy Steve and Manik when he pinned Manik after the Warrior's Way(top-rope double-stomp) (3:48).
-X-Division Title Tournament:  Tigre Uno won a triple threat match with D.J. Shiima Xion and Mark Andrews when he pinned Andrews after a Phoenix Splash(moonsault-into-450 Splash) (5:38).  Jessie Godderz attacked his former ally Xion after the match.
-Taryn Terrell(w/ Dollhouse) vs. Amazing Kong for the Women's Title didn't happen as Taryn demanded that Kong face her in a lingerie pillow fight.  Kong beat up Mia "Jade" Yim and Marti Belle and Taryn wanted to be declared the winner by forfeit, but Brooke Tessmacher confronted Taryn over her choice of stipulations...
-X-Division Title Tournament:  Grado won a triple threat match with Kenny King and Jay Cruz when he pinned Cruz after a cannonball into the corner (5:21).

-Intercontinental Champion Ryback d. Mike Mizanin(non-title) with the Shellshock (5:24 aired).  The Big Show came out to confront Ryback after the match.
-King Wade "Bad News" Barrett d. Jack Swagger with the Royal Bullhammer (2:22); "R-Truth" Ron Killings did commentary and tried on Barrett's kingly wardrobe during the bout.
-WWE Champion Seth Rollins d. Dolph Ziggler(non-title) by rolling through a cross-bodyblock off the top rope and holding the tights (10:57 aired).

Sheamus O'Shaunessy, Kane, & Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston(w/ Big E Langston & Xavier Woods) by DQ when the other New Day members broke up the pin after Reigns hit Kofi with the Superman Punch (8:43 aired).  Everyone fought after the bell and the ladders came into play as Ziggler joined the fun...Neville took out everyone with a huge plancha off a ladder to the floor, then climbed the ladder to grab the briefcase.  Of course, it won't count until Sunday...
