LU + Impact

Lucha Underground Season 4 Episode 4

-Commentators:  Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-Elsewhere:  Catrina Perez approached the coffin with Fenix inside...she said that her love's life was gone.  She gave him a kiss of death and seemingly regained her life force, rematerializing in a red dress.
-Backstage:  Ring announcer Melissa Santos sadly looked at photos of herself with Fenix...Catrina walked in and let her know that he would never return.  Catrina gave her half of the medallion to Melissa, saying she didn't need it to stay alive any more.
-"The Savage" Jake Strong d. Big Bad Steve Pain(w/ Beautiful Brenda) with the anklelock (2:07).  Strong punctuated his dominance with a gutwrench powerbomb on the arena floor.
-Backstage in promoter Antonio Cueto's office:  Cueto met with King Cuerno about the Gauntlet Of The Gods...Cuerno claimed that it was stolen from him and he didn't know where it was.  Antonio said that only the gods knew the truth about the Gauntlet...but he made an offer to Cuerno in good faith:  Cuerno would compete for an Aztec Medallion against Chavo Guerrero Jr.(who eliminated him from Aztec Warfare).  "They Call Him A Machine" Brian Cage walked into the office, declaring his intent to finish the job on LU Champion Pentagon Dark.  Antonio said that sneak-attacking the champion doesn't earn one a title shot...but he offered Cage his own match for an Aztec Medallion against the man who may hold the gauntlet that Cage covets:  Mil Muertes.
-Johnny Mundo & Taya Valkyrie d. Daga & Kobra Moon after "The Darewolf" P.J. Black superkicked Moon from behind as the referee was distracted; Taya finished off Moon with the curbstomp (6:26).  Vibora hit the ring and took on all three members of the Worldwide Underground...he showed surprising agility as he got the better of the trio, hitting a corner cannonball on Taya.  Vibora chokeslammed Mundo and then hit a standing moonsault for good measure.
-Backstage:  Antonio Cueto unlocked Matanza's new reinforced dungeon (where he was passing the time by decimating some hapless offscreen victim)...
-Matanza Cueto(w/ Antonio Cueto) d. "Mr. Pec-Tacular" Jessie Godderz after the Wrath Of The Gods(rewind powerslam) (0:51).  Antonio called the match a "sacrifice to the gods"...Matanza raised his arms, LIGHTS OFF LIGHTS ON, and Godderz had disappeared...
-For Aztec Medallion #2:  King Cuerno d. Chavo Guerrero Jr. with the Thrill Of The Kill(cradle Tombstone) (10:01).
-Next week:  Brian Cage vs. Mil Muertes for Aztec Medallion #3.

TNA/GFW Impact

-Commentators:  Josh Mathews & Don Callis.
-Fenix d. Rich Swann with a muscle buster driver (9:03 aired).  Ohio Vs. Everything(Jake & Dave Crist) attacked Fenix after the match and threatened to unmask him, but Pentagon Jr. hit the ring to run them off...only to kick Fenix below the belt and hit the package piledriver.  However, it turned out to be Sami Callihan under the mask...Swann tried to help Fenix but was laid out as well.  Callihan nearly unmasked Fenix but the real Pentagon Jr. arrived to make the save.
-Killer Kross d. Fallah Bahh(w/ Kevin Matthews) via sleeperhold (2:22).  Kross choked out K.M. with the sleeperhold as well; it took a chair-wielding Petey Williams to drive Kross out of the ring.
-Allie Dennis & Madison Rayne d. Women's Champion "The Undead Bride" Su Yung & Undead Bridesmaid; Tessa Blanchard attacked Rayne while the referee was down, but Allie fought her off and Rayne pinned the Bridesmaid after the Cross-Rayne(inverted swinging neckbreaker) (6:06).
-Katarina Leith(w/ Grado) d. Rebel after a uranagi backbreaker (3:07).
-"They Call Him A Machine" Brian Cage d. Kongo Kong(w/ Jimmy Jacobs) with the F-5 (5:15).
-The final segment saw Konnan confront Eddie Kingston over orchestrating the attack on him earlier in the year.  Kingston confessed to it and the New Latin-American XChange(Angel Ortiz & Santana Draztik) sided with Konnan.  However, Kingston had backup:  ORIGINAL L.A.X. members Homicide and Shawn Hernandez!  Kingston choked out Konnan as Homicide & Hernandez laid waste to Ortiz & Santana, along with several members of ringside security.
-Next week:  Pentagon/Fenix/Swann vs. Callihan/OVE.
