Lucha Underground Season 4 Episode 8

-Commentators:  Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-Daga(w/ Kobra Moon) d. "The Darewolf" P.J. Black with a crucifix submission (7:30).  Chaos broke loose as the Worldwide Underground(Johnny Mundo, Taya Valkyrie, & Ricky Mundo) fought with the Reptile Tribe(Drago & Vibora), leading to a challenge for a tag match on next week's show.  Mundo joins the Reptile Tribe if that team wins, but Moon grants Mundo's wish if his team wins.
-Backstage:  Catrina Perez warned Willie Mack that Mil Muertes was coming for him.  She delivered this warning by opening a locker to reveal the skull of Mack's cousin Big Rycklon Stephens.
-Gift Of The Gods Champion Dragon Azteca Jr. said he would defend his title against anyone, but only planned to cash in for a title shot at Ultima Lucha IV.
-Willie Mack, Killshot, & Son Of Havoc d. The Rabbit Tribe(Paul London, Saltador, & Mala Suerte) to retain the Trios Titles; Killshot pinned Suerte after Mack's frog splash (7:22).
-"They Call Him A Machine" Brian Cage & King Cuerno d. LU Champion Pentagon Dark in a handicap match; Cuerno hit the Thrill Of The Kill(cradle Tombstone) and Cage pinned Pentagon after the Drill Claw(vertical suplex-into-sitout Tombstone) (5:43).  (It was scheduled to be Pentagon and Cage choosing tag team partners, but Pentagon decided to fight by himself.)
-Elsewhere:  Mundo and Taya invaded the Reptile Tribe's lair but were confronted by Vibora...this all ended with Taya decapitating Vibora with a sword.  (...so...I guess he's out of the tag match?...)
