The opening scene of the show takes place in Dario Cueto’s office. In walks Angelico. He tells Dario that he wants Mundo tonight. He doesn’t care if it’s for the Lucha Underground Championship or not. Dario says that he would love to book that match, but Mundo’s lawyers are real sharks. They have a restraining order against Angelico. Angelico says that maybe, he should lawyer up too, considering that the Worldwide Underground violently attacked him twice. Angelico tells Dario that he is responsible because he didn’t do a damn thing about it….. Dario tells Angelico that it isn’t his fault, that everyone knows the dangers involved in the Temple. Angelico agrees and Dario attempts to shake his hand. Angelico grabs Dario, and says that when it is Dario’s fault. He will give Cueto the “Fall of Angels” through his desk. After being threatened, Dario agrees to give Angelico a match against Mundo, but there’s a catch. He must compete in the “Battle of The Bulls” tournament. The winner gets a Lucha Championship match against Mundo. Angelico agrees to the opportunity. Promises that Mundo is going to need an undertaker, rather than lawyers, after he is finished with him. Angelico leaves the office…. Dario smiles and calls him stupid.

We are now in the Temple. The house band is playing “This is Awesome” in Spanish. Matt Striker and Vampiro intro the show at ringside. They go over Dario Cueto’s new “Battle of The Bulls” tournament concept… There will be 4 Fatal Four Way matches. Each of them being one fall to a finish. The winners of those 4 matches will go on to face each other in a final Fatal Four-Way match. That will be elimination style. The winner of that match will become the #1 contender to the Lucha Underground Championship.

Battle of The Bulls Tournament- 1st RoundCage vs. Texano vs. Dr. Wagner Jr. vs. Joey Ryan

During the match introductions. Famous B grabs the mic to intro his client, Dr. Wagner Jr. Cage cuts him off in mid sentence and knocks him down from behind. Joey Ryan is in full sleaze mode here. Giving himself a baby oil shower prior to the match. Cage and Texano are currently in a best of 5 series. Where Cage leads 2 to 1. They have both been promised an “ultimate opportunity” by Dario Cueto. Neither man was in Aztec Warfare III. So this is their best shot at getting a world championship match. They are still unaware of what Cueto’s opportunity actually is, and they are probably not going to be too happy when they find out.

Unique match here with contrasting styles from all 4 competitors. Texano grabs his bullrope from ringside and whips Cage early on. Striker calls Texan’s rope a “sandpaper snake”. There are no dq’s in these matches. Texano then leaps onto Ryan and Wagner at ringside.

Cage follows suit and goes to the air himself and moonsaults on everyone at ringside.

If anyone doubted in Cage’s moonsault here is photographic evidence it happened #LuchaUnderground pic.twitter.com/P0HplzGLeM

All 4 men end up brawling on the outside for a while. The pace of the match slows down considerably. Dr. Wagner Jr. is the first man up and begins to build momentum. He goes after his long time rival Texano. Ends up giving him a cutter off the top rope. Wagner goes after Ryan now. Hits a samoan drop on him. Joey Ryan battles back and hits two very impressive moves on Texano and Wagner Jr. A cradle suplex, followed by a spinebuster. Goes for a cover but Cage breaks it up. “The Machine” over powers Ryan and takes him to the top rope. Ryan counters Cage and hits a swinging neck breaker off the top rope. Honky Tonk Man style…. This nets Ryan a …
