LU + Impact

Lucha Underground Season 4 Episode 22 (Ultima Lucha Cuatro Part 2)

-Commentators:  Matt Striker & Vampiro.
-Backstage:  Johnny Mundo(w/ Gauntlet Of The Gods) & Taya Valkyrie-Mundo had a friendly chat before Johnny's big match...after Johnny left, Taya heard the voice of Ricky's doll(which she had taken from ringside last week).  The doll complimented her...then said she would be the perfect "host"...
-Fenix d. Dragon Azteca Jr. in a best-of-three-falls match.  Fenix won the first fall with the Black Fire Driver(muscle buster dropped into Michinoku Driver) (2:22).  Azteca evened the score with a tilt-a-whirl flying DDT (4:24 aired).  Before the final fall began, promoter Antonio Cueto announced that the final fall would be no-DQ and falls-count-anywhere.  Ring announcer Melissa Santos attempted to stop Azteca from hitting Fenix with a chair, saying they were once friends...but that simply distracted Azteca and allowed Fenix to bash Azteca with his own chair.  Fenix speared Azteca through a table in the corner, then finished with another Black Fire Driver (15:19 aired).
-A distraught Melissa Santos left the building during the commercial break, but Antonio Cueto said that he had been in negotiations with someone and the person would be the ring announcer for the rest of the show:  Shaul Guerrero(known as Raquel Diaz in NXT)!  Famous B objected to this appointment, saying that he was the only guest ring announcer in Lucha Underground...Shaul's response was a page from her mother Vickie's playbook:  "EXCUSE ME!"  She gave him a piece of her mind and threatened to kick his ass...Famous B prepared to fight, but he didn't count on the surprise return of Chavo Guerrero Jr....Chavo distracted him long enough for Shaul to thumb him in the eye, then deliver the Three Amigos suplexes!  Chavo added a frog splash for good measure.
-Willie Mack d. Mil Muertes in a Death Match after hitting him with a brick and finishing with the third Stone Cold Stunner of the match (12:54).  Mack shut Muertes in one of the ringside caskets afterwards.
-Johnny Mundo d. Matanza Cueto(w/ Antonio Cueto) after a top-rope Superman Punch while wearing the Gauntlet Of The Gods (11:56).
-Backstage:  Mundo met up with Aero Star, wondering if Taya was around...Aero Star warned him about how a god would inhabit his body if he continued to wear the gauntlet.  Mundo decided that no one deserved his "perfect body" but him, so he removed the gauntlet and returned it to Aero Star.  Mundo said that he would go and celebrate with his wife...
-Pentagon Dark d. Marty "The Moth" Martinez in a Cero Miedo Match after a package piledriver through several set-up chairs to win the LU Title (12:31).  Pentagon teased breaking Marty's arm but Reklusa attacked him, but Vampiro entered the ring and Reklusa retreated with Marty.  Vampiro gave the belt to Pentagon, but then turned on him with a kick to the groin...Pentagon fired back at Vampiro, but a new masked man hit the ring and bashed Pentagon with a chair.  Vampiro introduced his master, who ascended the seats and dove onto Pentagon with a shooting star press!  Pentagon was brought back to the ring where the newcomer(Hexagon Dark?) landed a corkscrew shooting star press...and then Gift Of The Gods Champion Jake Strong made an appearance to cash in his title...
-Gift Of The Gods Champion "The Savage" Jake Strong d. Pentagon Dark when he made Pentagon pass out in the anklelock to win the LU Title (0:42).
-Closing video:  Aero Star, Dragon Azteca Jr., & King Cuerno met, discussing what to do with the Gauntlet Of The Gods...should it be put back into hiding or be used to fight the gods?  Azteca took the gauntlet with the intent of passing it along to an ally:  BLACK LOTUS, who confronted Matanza in the depths of the temple.  Lotus used the gauntlet to overpower Matanza, pulling his heart out of his chest and killing him!  Lotad returned the gauntlet to Azteca, but Azteca was promptly attacked by Jake Strong who broke his ankle with the anklelock and took the gauntlet...Strong said the gauntlet belonged to "US".  Mundo reunited with Taya, asking about her being in his corner for the night...Mundo said he won on his own and they could finally go on their honeymoon.  Taya, having been possessed by the spirit of the doll, manhandled Mundo and said she was another of the gods.  Outside in the limousine, Antonio Cueto met with Agent Winter and Hexagon Dark, saying all of the gods were now in human form.  Jake Strong joined them with the title and the gauntlet, letting them know that the blood was Matanza's...Antonio was distraught, but the big boss in the limo said that a new host must be found.  The boss, revealing himself to be Stu Bennett(fka Wade Barrett), asked if anyone else had any BAD NEWS...and he said it was time to take over the world.
-One year ago:  After Antonio left his son Dario's funeral, Aero Star appeared via time travel and put the completed amulet around Dario's neck.  "Come with me."  Dario(opening his eyes):  "Aero Star?  What the fu...(TO BE CONTINUED)"
