LU + Impact

Lucha Underground Season 4 Episode 3

-Commentators:  Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-Backstage:  P.J. Black & Jack Evans are listening to Ricky Mundo tell his story about going to an "Island Of The Dolls", which is where he and his doll "Rosa" met...they are understandably creeped out.  Enter Johnny Mundo & Taya Valkyrie, who have called an emergency meeting regarding their war with the Reptile Tribe.  Mundo tells Jack to call out one of the Reptile Tribe...Black insists that he's the "dragon slayer" and can do it, but Evans isn't exactly jumping at the opportunity.  Mundo asks if anyone has seen Angélico because he owes him a beating...meanwhile, the doll's voice has been chiming in like it's alive.
-X.O. Lishus(who works as Sonny Kiss on the indies) d. Jack Evans with a split-legged faceslam off the top rope (5:54).
-Lucha Underground Champion Pentagon Jr. talked up his great start to the season, surviving Aztec Warfare and then beating the monster Matanza Cueto to retain his title.  He vowed that no one would take the title from him...that sort of statement was just begging for a response and "They Call Him A Machine" Brian Cage hit the ring to lay out Pentagon with a discus lariat and belt shot.  Cage wasn't done as he powerbombed Pentagon off the ring apron and through a table on the floor.
-Backstage:  Ring announcer Melissa Santos was worried about Fenix's well-being in the main event...Fenix was confident as he had won the previous Grave Consequences Match, but Melissa reminded him that he has two opponents tonight instead of just one.
-Mil Muertes(w/ Catrina Perez) won a Three Way To The Grave(elimination casket) Match with Fenix and Jeremiah Crane.  Crane was eliminated when Ivelisse Velez(getting revenge for Ultima Lucha Tres) attacked Crane with a hammer before shutting him in a casket (12:43).  Muertes won by shutting Fenix in a casket after countering a top-rope move with a mid-air Flatliner (20:09 aired).
-Backstage:  Promoter Antonio Cueto visited his son Matanza, who was chained to the floor.  According to Antonio, he failed his son because he offered him to the gods...but only because he asked them to preserve a sliver of his humanity.  That humanity was contained within the ever-present key to Matanza's cell...Dario kept it close to his heart because he cared for his brother, but caring got Dario killed.  He told Matanza that he was meant to be more than his son and threw him the key, telling him to destroy it and fully embrace his power.  Matanza shattered the key in his hands and broke free of his shackles...Antonio said goodbye to his son to close the show.

TNA/GFW Impact

-Commentators:  Josh Mathews & Don Callis.
-Rich Swann d. Trevor Lee after a second-rope Phoenix Splash (8:06 aired).
-The Desi Hit Squad(Rohit Raju & Gursinder Singh)(w/ Gama Singh) d. D.J. Shiima Xion & Andrew Everett when Singh rolled up Everett with a handful of tights (6:41).

-Madison Rayne d. Tessa Blanchard with a crucifix bomb (8:07).  Tessa attacked Madison after the match; she brought in a chair to do more damage, but Women's Champion "The Undead Bride" Su Yung(w/ bridesmaids) made her entrance.  Tessa left the ring, leaving Madison to be beaten down by the bridesmaids with Su's direction; however, Allie Dennis returned to make the save by fighting off the bridesmaids.
-Next week:  Brian Cage vs. Kongo Kong, Fenix vs. Rich Swann, and Killer Kross makes his in-ring debut.
