Lucha Underground Report
June 10, 2015
Taped in Los Angeles, Calif.
Episode #31 aired on El Rey Network
Report by Joel Dehnel, PWTorch contributor


The show opened with a video package featuring Blue Demon Jr., Chavo Guerrero, Dario, Drago, Hernandez, and Prince Puma.

Backstage: Drago was on top of The Temple. He spread his wings, then dove off the building.

Opening credits rolled which brought us to The Temple to begin the show.

Announcers: Vampiro apologized for jumping into the ring last week. Matt Striker said Sexy Star would be out of action for a few weeks.

In-ring: Dario stood in the ring and thanked the crowd. He announced Ultimo Lucha which will be the large event in the coming weeks. He said that we will find out who will compete for the Lucha Underground Championship at Ultimo Lucha tonight. He said it will be one of the men who have already fought Puma, which include Hernandez, King Cuerno, Cage, and Fenix. They will fight each other to determine who will fight for the title. Dario then introduced Blue Demon, Jr. to the ring. Dario welcomed Demon. He said he would match him up against with a man making his return to The Temple as well. Chavo Guerrero came to the ring with The Crew. Dario demanded a referee because they are going to fight each other right now and in this match anything goes.

1 -- CHAVO GUERRERO (w/The Crew) vs. BLUE DEMON, JR. - No Disqualification match

They started brawling right away, then Chavo knocked over Demon, who was fighting in a suit. He launched Chavo to the outside. He went for a baseball slide, then beat on Chavo. The Crew grabbed Demon and held him down for a chop. Chavo grabbed a kendo stick and went for and attack on Demon, but Demon kicked his face. Chavo struck back and The Crew beat down Demon. Chavo went to the top and hit a frog splash for the win.

WINNER: Chavo Guerrero at 3:05 with a frog splash.

Video: Drago emerged from a fog and flapped his wings.

[Break]

Backstage: Chavo apologized to the mysterious woman in a jail cell. She said that he betrayed her. Chavo said he hopes she enjoys her view across Dario's brother.

Dario was attacked by Drago in the locker room. Drago requested an opportunity against Puma, then blamed Hernandez for what had happened. Dario said he will get his match, but this time if he doesn't will he will remained banished and he will have to leave his mask behind.

[Break]

In-ring: Santos introduced the Disciples of Death to the ring. Next out making their returns were Pimpenela Escarlata and Mascarita Sagrada alongside Bengala.

2 -- THE DISCIPLES OF DEATH (w/Catrina) vs. PIMPENELA ESCARLATA & MASCARITA SAGRADA & BENGALA -- six-man tag match

One of the disciples attacked Pimpenela, who responded by hitting an armdrag. Pimpenela went for an attack on the outside, but ran into a fan in the crowd. Bengala tagged in, then both disciples beat down Bengala.

Sagrada tagged in and got kicked down in a corner. Sagrada and Pimpenela got thrown around the ring, then Bengala got beat down. The Disciples held up Bengala and he got kicked in the chest. They then threw Sagrada outside onto Bengala. Pimpenela was beat down on the ropes, then Catrina gave the lick of death. The Disciples picked up Pimpenela and flipped him over for the pin.

WINNER: The Disciples of Death at 6:57.

[ JD's Reax: This match was as bad as you imagined reading my description. ]

[Break]

Backstage: Johnny Mundo walked in Dario's office. He asked why he wasn't in the number one contender's match. Dario said it was because he expects Mundo to be champion by then. Dario told Mundo he is the future of Lucha Underground and he wants to see this new Johnny unleash himself on Prince Puma. Dario said Mundo will face Puma in an Iron Match and the winner will be champion.

In-ring: Santos introduced Cage to the ring. Next to the ring was King Cuerno followed by Hernandez and finally Drago.

3 -- CAGE vs. KING CUERNO vs. HERNANDEZ vs. DRAGO - #1 Contender's match

Hernandez clotheslined Cage to the outside. Cuerno and Drago fought in the ring while the other two brawled outside. Cuerno hit an uppercut, then Hernandez dove into Cuerno and hit a backbreaker. Cage came back in the ring and hit a dropkick, then dropped Hernandez into the mat. Drago hit a huracanrana on Cuerno, then got kicked out of the ring.

Cage and Cuerno hit a double suplex on Hernandez. They both climbed to the top and hit Hernandez. Plus, Drago hit Hernandez. Drago landed another huracanrana on Cuerno, then Cuerno executed a powerbomb. Drago leaped onto Cage, but Cage caught him and tossed him into the mat.

Hernandez recovered and knocked over Cage and Cuerno. Cuerno got back to his feet and beat on Hernandez, then Hernandez fought back and sent Cuerno to the floor. There was a shot Killshot standing in the rafters watching the match.

Cuerno and Cage teamed up to beat up Drago, then Hernandez cleaned house, but Cage hit a moonsault. Drago hit a corkscrew onto Cuerno outside, then Cage socked Hernandez bacl in the ring. Cuerno returned to the ring, taunted Killshot, and then dove onto Cage and Drago. But, moments later, Drago powerbombed Hernandez off the apron, then spun around Cuerno to score a pinfall victory.

WINNER: Drago at 10:34.

Post-match: Puma entered the ring and stood toe-to-toe against Drago and held up his belt.

Backstage: Dario peered through his blinds, then was tapped on the shoulder by Catrina. Catrina said that Dario made a mistake by not putting Mil Muertes in the match. She asked Dario why he is in Mil Muertes's way. Dario said he would give Muertes a chance against Drago to determine the winner.

FINAL THOUGHTS: It was great that Drago got his job back but other than that the match didn't mean much because Drago now has to face Mil Muertes. Catrina just held onto Dario and got him to give her a match. I'm not liking how wrestlers can just threaten Dario for a match. I would like to see the actually earn their spot, but then every once in a while a heel will threaten Dario and he will give in because it will benefit both parties. I suppose it's better that the wrestlers have more power over Dario than it being the other way around.

SUMMARY RESULTS: (1) Chavo beat Blue Demon, Jr. ... (2) The Disciples of Death pinned Pimpenela... (3) Drago became the #1 contender at Ultima Lucha, for now.
