Aug 6, 2015: Who’s the master at Ultima Lucha?
By NOLAN HOWELL
The season finale of Lucha Underground went down last night as the final night of Ultima Lucha. With much left to settle, who would come out on top as Vampiro battled Pentagon Jr. in a Cero Miedo match? Plus, the Lucha Underground Championship was on the line between champ Prince Puma and challenger Mil Muertes! All that and more on the season finale of Lucha Underground!
Johnny Mundo defeated Alberto El Patron
The match was as good as expected between the former WWE stars. The back and forth came to a halt as Mundo got by with a little help from a friend. Melina Perez came to help her on-again, off-again boyfriend and made an impact in her debut by helping him put Patron down.
Pentagon Jr. defeated Vampiro in a Cero Miedo match
Vampiro has never been known for his mat work and array of throws and holds. This match was no exception. Gritty and brutal, tables, light tubes, and fire were all the weapons du jour. Pentagon defeated Vampiro after putting him through a flaming table and snapping his arm in his signature armbar. After the match, Pentagon bowed down as it was revealed that his master was none other than Vampiro himself.
Fenix wins the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Championship
In a match with spot after spot, it comes as no surprise that the highest flier known as Fenix came out with the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Championship.
Blue Demon Jr defeated Texano in a No Disqualifications match
Texano didn’t stand a chance as the beloved Blue Demon Jr. aligned with Chavo Guerrero and The Crew to beat Texano down and solidify themselves as one of the elite factions inside the Lucha Underground temple.
Mil Muertes defeated Prince Puma for the Lucha Underground Championship
The run of Prince Puma finally came to an end as the numbers and the power of Mil Muertes proved too much. Muertes stood with Catrina and the Lucha Underground Trios Champions The Disciples of Death with the belts at the end of an incredible battle, which comes as no surprise to anyone who has followed the show this season.
In addition, Marty “The Moth” Martinez proved to be less than harmless as he kidnapped Sexy Star. Black Lotus killed her former trainer El Dragon Azteca and joined up with Lucha Underground owner Dario Cueto. The mask of El Dragon Azteca was picked up by a familiar face that remains unknown.
While unclear on the future of Lucha Underground, the show ended on a positive note and tied up all the loose ends in the intriguing temple. Should the show return, it will be a short break as it will return later this year.

Jack Evans, Aero Star, Bengala, King Cuerno, Sexy Star, and Big Ryck slot their medallions. The main slot is left empty and Cueto says Fenix was destroyed by Mil Muertes, so he has no choice but to put the medallion up for grabs in a battle royale tonight.

May 7, 2015: Patron earns a contender’s match
By NOLAN HOWELL
Hernandez earned a shot at Lucha Underground Champion Prince Puma last week. However, two men feel they have just as much of a right to a shot at the title. Tonight on Lucha Underground, owner Dario Cueto pits Johnny Mundo and Alberto El Patron against each other to face Hernandez next week to determine the true number one contender. Plus, after interfering in his title match last week, Hernandez now has Prince Puma as a tag team partner against Cage and King Cuerno. Can the two coexist under Konnan? All that and more on this week’s edition of Lucha Underground!
Recap of all the latest in Lucha Underground.
Alberto El Patron and Johnny Mundo enter the office of Lucha Underground owner Dario Cueto. Mundo says Patron and him can’t agree on who deserves a shot at Lucha Underground Champion Prince Puma. Patron tells Mundo that he had his opportunity and it is his time. Cueto tells the two that they are two of the best in the business and they will both get an opportunity in due time. Mundo says himself and Patron agree that they both deserve a shot more than “Fernandez.” Cueto corrects him and says Hernandez earned a shot by beating Cage and King Cuerno last week. Patron tells him that Hernandez never beat one of them and they are two of the best in the business as Cueto said. Cueto says they are right and Hernandez should have to beat one of them. Cueto sets up Patron vs. Mundo tonight for a chance to face Hernandez in a number one contender’s match for the Lucha Underground Championship next week. Cueto looks forward to seeing who is the best as the two face off.
