What do you do to an annoying pest? You squash it if it's a bug. Unfortunately, for Dario Cueto, some bugs don't go that easily......
1. Non-title: Prince Puma (w/Konnan) vs. Marty Martinez.
"The Moth" makes his in-ring debut, but this isn't a squash. Martinez has some limited skills after all. A pre-match handshake turns into a hug, then Martinez lariats Puma. Turns out to be his best move. Once Puma got it going, it was over. The clotheslines were in fact the extent of Martinez's offense. Puma lined him up and hit the 630. Hasta la vista, baby.
Winner: Prince Puma.
Post-match, Hernandez comes down the stairs, and Konnan cuts a promo on him, ripping on SuperMex for turning on Puma, putting the title ahead of their friendship, etc.. Hernandez teases going to the ring, but backs off. The title match is next week.
Dario gives the Crew a pep talk, warning that if they don't win the trios titles, they might not make it out alive, as Cueto wants to appease the Aztec gods.......
Vampiro sits down with Johnny Mundo. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Mundo's jealous because Alberto El Patron just waltzes in with the AAA title and is given the royal treatment while Mundo has busted his butt from day one. I give them six months before Mundo turns back face......
2. Delabar Daivari vs. Texano.
Rematch for these two, and at least they were given some time. The storyline has Texano turning face. I guess with Alberto El Patron on the DL, they need another Mexican babyface on the main event level to complement Puma, though Drago & Fenix should be in that conversation, and you know Drago will return. Just when Texano had Daivari set up, Big Ryck shows up, turning back heel to lariat Texano for the DQ. We know Ryck loves money, so the wealthy Daivari is his new patron.
Winner: Texano.
Now they're giving Catrina supernatural powers to complement Mil Muertes. Catrina offers Muertes to Dario for any future sacrifices, and gets a death match between Muertes & Fenix for the other half of next week's double main event.
El Dragon Azteca has discovered that Black Lotus has left him. Chavo Guerrero, Jr. returns and offers to help, provided Dragon can clear things up between Chavo and Mexico for that business with Blue Demon, Jr. last fall. Of course, Chavo cannot be trusted, but now they say the Guerreros & Cuetos have had issues for generations. Oh?
3. Lucha Underground trios titles: Son of Havoc, Ivelisse, & Angelico vs. The Crew.
Ivelisse is largely held out because of her injury, but Cueto's not about to let the champs pick a fill-in. Then again, the way the guys fly around the ring, they don't need a fill-in. Angelico adds to his highlight reel by climbing to the roof Cueto's damaged office, and nails a sick missile dropkick, the mother of all dropkicks, really, on Cortez Castro. How Castro recovered and tried to beat Ivelisse to the top of the ladder is a miracle itself. Ivelisse chomps on the hand, and that gives her the leverage she needs to pull down one belt. The champs retain.
Winners: Son of Havoc, Ivelisse, & Angelico.
