Lucha Underground season 3 episode 15 results (12/14): "En La Sombras"

Even the referee is in awe with the action that unfolded in the Temple

Back from another break, the Sexy Star-spider angle resumed as she confronted her long-time rival Mariposa. Star accused her of planting the spider in her locker room. Star grabbed her by the throat and slammed her into the walls. Mariposa pleads her innocence, leading to Star punching a hole in the wall next to Mariposa’s head.

The match to determine the fourth and final opponent in the Battle of The Bulls tournament was up next as the main event of the evening.

PJ Black vs. Son of Havoc vs. Angelico vs. Jack Evans (Battle of The Bulls tournament match)

The main event set things up perfectly for next!

The winner of this match would join Cage, The Mack, and Jeremiah Crane next week in the tournament finals. The no disqualification, fatal four-way main event began in classic high-flying fashion. WU teammates showed signs of a breakdown early on when Jack Evans attempted to pin PJ Black. Saner heads prevailed, and both men devised a strategy to work as a team to take Angelico and Son of Havoc out.

They worked well in tandem to execute a double team move on their fellow opponents. The fatal-four way transformed into a tag team match from thereon, as the Worldwide Underground members worked well together to remove Angelico and Son of Havoc out of the equation.

After dispatching the two off, Black and Evans resumed their quest of winning the match by going at it at each other. Son of Havoc almost pulled off an early shocker when he executed a swinging neck breaker and a standing moonsault for a near fall on Angelico. Jack and Black broke up the pinfall and continued their tag team dominance in the match, by sending Havoc out of the ring. The infectious chemistry between the two was all there to be seen, as they showed off their showboating skills in the middle of the ring.

Jack and Black shifted their attention to Angelico by systematically wearing him down. However, Angelico fought back and sent Black crashing onto the mat. Jack countered a razors edge buckle bomb attempt from Angelico by sending him into the corner. Angelico got rolled up by Evans for a pinfall, but Havoc broke it up with a double foot stomp from the top rope.

Havoc was on a roll as he stunned Black with a springboard stunner. He looked to cash in on the momentum by going up to the top rope only to see Black follow him up there and deliver the electric chair. Evans too looked to get some offense in when he went for the doomsday device on Havoc. However, Havoc miraculously countered. The action stepped up a notch with all competitors going up to the top rope. Havoc first blocked a tower of doom from Black and then executed a suicide dive on him. Angelico and Evans were still perched up on the top rope in a precarious position.

A moment of madness followed as Angelico suplexed Evans onto Havoc and Black on the outside. The believers popped in awe as a result of the spot. Angelico and Black got back into the ring first to work towards the finish. Black got hit with an Angelico flying knee, but he couldn’t capitalize on it as Evans knocked him off the top rope. Havoc was left with the task of battling the WU members all by himself.

He went for the handspring elbow on Black. Black escaped by pushing Evans in the line of impact. Black picked Havoc up, threw him out of the ring, and then lied down in the middle of the ring. He ordered Evans to pin him, and Evans readily obliged.

In a surprising turn of events, Black turned on him and rolled him up for the three-count. And just like that, Black advanced to the finals of the Battle of The Bulls tournament.

Result: PJ Black def. Jack Evans, Son of Havoc and Angelico via pinfall

After the match, a distraught Evans accused Black of cheating him. The two teammates, however, settled their differences and somehow got on the same page to end the post-match segment.

A backstage video package of the Azteca/Mysterio storyline ended the show. El Dragon Azteca Jr. told Mysterio that Matanza came looking for him while holding Mysterio by his neck. Rey apologized for Matanza’s actions. Azteca, though, parted ways with his mentor by thanking him for his guidance and training. He said that he is prepared to script his own legacy and would begin by killing Matanza. Mysterio tried to convince his student that the battle against Matanza is not something he can overcome. Azteca said he isn’t in this fight to win it and that he doesn’t need Mysterio anymore, before walking away.
