Highlights from previous episode storylines open this week’s show. The Ultimate Opportunity series between Cage and Texano, Johnny Mundo’s request granted for a Gift Of The Gods match and Ivelisse’s new relationship.

The opening scene takes place in Dario Cueto’s office. He is looking over paperwork as Sexy Star enters. Sexy gets straight to the point and tells Dario in Spanish, that she doesn’t fear Dario or his brother Matanza. That next week, She wants her shot at The Lucha Underground Championship… Dario responds by stating that he learned a long time ago, that when a sexy woman asks for something. It’s best to give it to her. Dario smirks at Sexy Star and says ok, She is granted her request. She will face Matanza next week for The Lucha Underground Championship…. He throws in a reminder that first, Sexy will be defending her Gift Of The Gods championship against Johnny Mundo tonight. Sexy Star says that he will be a nice warmup match for her. Dario laughs and says that he is impressed that Star has huge balls even though she is a woman. Dario then gets serious and tells Star that if her friends, Fenix, Drago or Aerostar interfere in her match tonight. That they will be banned from The Temple forever. As Dario sips on a glass of scotch. Sexy pauses for a moment to ponder what Dario has told her. She then tells him that she won’t need help tonight or next week. She tells Dario to be prepared to crown her as The First Female Lucha Underground Champion. Sexy leaves Dario’s office… Dario comments that, as his mother could attest. Women don’t fare too well against his brother.

We are now in the arena at The Temple. The house band is playing and Matt Striker and Vampiro intro this week’s show. They hype that Aztec Warfare is only 3 weeks away and that Matanza will enter that match at #1. With his Championship on the line. However Striker states that there is no guarantee that Matanza will enter that match as The Champion in 3 weeks. He then hypes tonight’s Gift Of The God’s match between Sexy Star and Johnny Mundo. Vampiro says that if you are a fan of intergender wrestling, That you don’t have to wait for that type of action at the end of the night, because that type of match will happen next. Vamp cues to Melissa Santos in the ring for the 1st match.

As the ref is distracted, Mariposa bites Ivelisse while she is laying on the mat. Marty gets Ivelisse up in a full nelson submission. The submission is set up in an awkward position intentionally by Marty. Marty controls the action for the next few minutes.
