TV Rating:
1. Son of Havoc def. Angelico.
2. AAA Mega World title: Alberto El Patron def. Texano, Jr.-submission.
3. Lucha Underground title: Prince Puma def. Cage.
For the first time on American TV, the AAA Mega World title will be defended in the co-feature. But, first.......
1. Angelico vs. Son of Havoc (w/Ivelisse).
Sometimes, a man has to know when it's time to break off a relationship. Son of Havoc, after all the losses had piled up after taking a shortcut vs. Sexy Star in week 1, finally saw the light, and realized that Ivelisse was too much of a beyotch for his own good.
This was even better than the first meeting between SOH & Angelico. SOH continued to bust out the offense that fans recall when he was just plain old Matt Cross, before he grew that biker beard. Running shooting star press gets 2. Angelico answers every offensive move SOH has, but at the end, SOH's conscience kicks in. With Ivelisse berating him even when he makes a positive move, SOH grabs the mic and tells her, in no uncertain terms, they're through. The fans go nuts. Ultimately, SOH goes up and hits a standard shooting star press, and evens the score with Angelico.
Winner: Son of Havoc.
Post-match, Angelico tries to pick up Ivelisse, but takes a boot to the head. Love hurts.
Dario Cueto is back after 2 weeks away. His latest signing? Former TNA tag team titlist Hernandez. Super Mex will have a front row seat for the LU title match.......
2. AAA Mega title: Alberto El Patron vs. Texano, Jr. (bullrope match).
This is not your ordinary bullrope match. Instead of touching all 4 corners, because that would take up too much time for a 1 hour show, pins or submissions will suffice in this no-DQ grudge war. Another back & forth match, with each man jockeying for position. Texano uses not only the rope he's bound to, but also his own trusty rope. Then again, Alberto takes the challenger's personal rope and uses it himself, payback for an earlier beatdown. Texano thinks he's got El Patron right where he wants him, but the champ, taking advantage of the stips, locks on the cross armbreaker on the ropes, and Texano taps almost immediately!
Winner: Alberto El Patron.
Notice the pattern? Two matches, two winners evening the score from earlier losses. Will Prince Puma make it a clean sweep?
Puma is shown training with Konnan when Hernandez shows up for a reunion with his old LAX mentor. Somehow, you get the feeling, judging from Puma's reaction, that Hernandez isn't just here to cheer him on.......
3. Lucha Underground title: Prince Puma (w/Konnan) vs. Cage.
Cueto brings out the new belt, which has the same Aztec design as the logo in the center of the ring. Looks awesome. It's a Boyle Heights streetfight, so, again, it's no-DQ. You'd think the advantage goes to Cage, but no. Hernandez takes his seat at ringside. Cage gets a near fall with the discus lariat, but after hitting Weapon X (Gorybomb dropped into a DDT), he mounts the champion, raining down punches. Costly mistake, as Vampiro is quick to point out. For some reason, Cage calls out Hernandez, who leaves his seat and reaches the apron. The trap's been sprung on Cage, as Konnan limps in and nails Cage with his new, steel tipped cane. Puma, who landed a 450 through a table earlier, sets up Cage for the 630 senton splash. See. You. Later.
Winner: Prince Puma.
Konnan personally presents his protege with the title to end the show.
