Bengala vs. Kobra Moon

Bengala taking his animal gimmick a bit too seriously, clawing at Moon to kick off the match, but she levels him with a dropkick and tosses him to the floor with a nice tilt-a-whirl headscissors. A few well-placed kicks but she gets turned out by a big boot and spinning wheel kick. Bengala uses the obvious size advantage to bully her very briefly – his seated superkick sounded nasty – but she ends up putting him to sleep with a modified rear naked choke.

Winner: Kobra Moon

- Backstage promo with Catrina and Fenix, who wants a piece of King Cuerno. She talks about him running out of lives, and Fenix basically says he wants to kill Cuerno, and Mil Muertes, and then come for her.

- We get our first vignette of the season for Aero Star, standing around a camp fire, talking about the seven Aztec tribes and how the gods won't be returning for 1,000 years. I'm... I'm not exactly sure what just happened, but I'm pretty sure he just time traveled to Lucha Underground. So you can officially add time-traveler to the list of dragons, space ships, Creepy Mothra and everything else going on in The Temple.

Drago vs. Jack Evans

The crowd is 100% hot for the return of Drago, who is just utter dominance in this match early on. Evans, god bless his soul, is selling every little slap and punch like he's being hit by an actual dragon. Evans goes dirty now, biting away at Drago's thumb. He does all these high-flying flips and tricks just to end up landing on his feet and doing basic dirty heel moves; eye pokes, rakes, chokes, etc. After a couple minutes of selling, Dragon comes off the second rope with a springboard armdrag to send Evans to the floor, then follows up with a big dive to take them both to the ground. The trade offense for a few minutes before Drago DESTROYS him with an insane running, inside-out flip DDT (I don't know how else to call that), which looks like it could have actually killed his opponent. He looks for the Dragon's Lair submission, but Evans pops out of it suddenly and rolls up Drago for the surprise three with his feet on the ropes.

Winner: Jack Evans

- Texano returns next week!

- Prince Puma is chillin in the bathroom obviously being mentally tortured by something. Catrina approaches (is there no privacy in the men's bathroom anymore?) and asks him who he prays to. She says she heard his mentor Konnan praying as he was inside that coffin last year, the life slowly draining out of him. She wonders if he will be fighting for his old mentor next week, when he gets his match against Pentagon Jr. Puma is pissed!

Last Luchador Standing Match
Fenix vs. King Cuerno

The early going is dead even as the two lock-up, trading big moves and getting the crowd all fired up. It's Cuerno who takes control first by bouncing Fenix's head off a ring post, hard. The "thud" was audible. Several minutes of power moves on the floor, with time in between for the referee to start his ten-counts.

Fenix mounts his comeback with a big superkick out of the corner, followed up with a series of dropkicks and a big springboard, corkscrew splash to the floor. Ref gets up to 7. Another massive dive off the ropes and the ref gets to 9 this time. He comes up empty on a third attempt and Cuerno recovers in time for a long, long range suicide dive to take both out. The ref gets to 7 before both men are up, and Cuerno comes out of nowhere with a LADDER to destroy Fenix.

King refuses to let the ref count now, signaling that he wants to end his opponent for good. "We want tables" chant, and out one comes. Cuerno wants a suplex through the table, Fenix blocks it and nails him with a superkick! He sets his opponent on the table and begins to climb up the ladder and up to one of the high platforms. Cuerno gets up and climbs after him, but Fenix was baiting him as he kicks the ladder over and Cuerno goes crashing down through the table! There's the ten-count.

Winner: Fenix

- Fenix celebrates his win on the high platform with the fans to end the show.

- Time for a weekly post-show cinematic. This week we're in a police depot and it's revealed that Cortez Castro (Ricky Reyes) was working undercover all along, apparently trying to bring down Dario Cueto. The chief is not happy with his performance, and says she has brought in somebody to be his partner... In walks Officer Joey Ryan, sucker and all.
