Lucha Underground Season 2 Episode 8

-Commentators:  Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-Backstage:  Gift Of The Gods Champion Fenix prepared for his main event...Catrina Perez paid him a visit, saying that she desired his "powers" to "give (her) life again".  She wondered if she made the wrong choice by siding with Mil Muertes over Fenix...then kissed him before warning him that Mil would destroy him for good.  After that, he would "bring (her) back from the dead".
-Son Of Havoc, Angélico, & Ivelisse Velez d. The Disciples Of Death(Barrio Negro, El Siniestro De La Muerte, & Trece)(w/ Catrina Perez) in a titles-vs.-careers match to win the Trios Titles; Angélico pinned Siniestro after Havoc's shooting star press (4:56).
-Backstage:  Prince Puma crossed paths with old rival Johnny Mundo...they were both preparing for Aztec Warfare in a week's time.  Mundo's arrogance led to Puma taking out his frustration on a defenseless punching bag.
-Elsewhere:  Rey Misterio Jr. met with Dragon Azteca Jr....Rey said their training is complete and they have received invitations to Aztec Warfare.
-El Texano Jr. d. Chavo Guerrero Jr.(w/ Cortez Castro & Mr. Cisco) in a bullrope match via sitout powerbomb (6:04); The Crew teased a run-in after the opening bell, but instead they walked away from the ring area.
-Backstage:  Heavyweight Champion Mil Muertes beat up The Disciples Of Death over their loss of the Trios Titles; Siniestro attempted to strike back, but Mil throttled him until Catrina called for mercy.
-Elsewhere:  Dario Cueto(w/ Black Lotus) declared that Matanza was ready to return to The Temple...and we got our first official look at the masked monster, stained with the blood of his victims.
-Gift Of The Gods Champion Fenix d. Mil Muertes(w/ Catrina Perez) to win the Heavyweight Title.  Each man ripped the other's mask and Fenix was busted open after Mil countered a suicide dive with a chair to the head; Muertes was bloodied after Fenix turned the chair against him.  Mil hit a top-rope Flatliner, but made the mistake of going for one more Flatliner and Fenix countered by victory-rolling Mil into a bridging pin for the win (13:39).
-After the match, Catrina announced that Fenix would defend the title in next week's Aztec Warfare(originally scheduled to be for a title shot).  To twist the knife further, she made Fenix #1 and Mil Muertes #20(the same spots as last year).  Despite that ruling, the new champion celebrated with the fans to close the show.
