Opening
The first scene features Gift Of The Gods Champion Sexy Star walking into Dario’s office, conversing in Spanish, saying that she does not fear Dario nor his brother, Lucha Underground Champion Matanza. She revealed that she wants a shot at Matanza for the Lucha Underground Championship.
Dario granted her request but reminded her that she defends the Gift Of The Gods Championship against Johnny Mundo in tonight’s main event. Sexy Star said that it will be a good warm-up match for her.
Dario laughs it off and says that he is impressed by her balls. He then puts on a serious face and says that if her friends Fenix, Drago or Aerostar interfere in the match, they will be banned in the Temple forever. She tells Dario that she won’t need their help and leaves the office.
We cut to the arena at the Temple where the house band is playing. The camera then shifts to Matt Striker and Vampiro, who promote the fact that Aztec Warfare is only 3 weeks away and that Matanza will enter that match as the top guy with his Championship on the line.
However, Striker mentions that that there is no guarantee that Matanza will enter that match as the champion in 3 weeks. He then promotes 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, you would not have to wait for that type of action for the end of the night because an intergender match will happen next. Vampiro cues to Melissa Santos in the ring for the 1st match of the night.
Melissa Santos then introduces Marty The Moth Martinez (accompanied by his sister Mariposa). She then introduces his opponent, Ivelisse.
Marty “The Moth” Martinez Defeated Ivelisse
Ivelisse took it to Marty in the initial bit of the match. He gets Ivelisse back in a full nelson submission hold at the end, spikes her down to the mat and then pins her for the win.
Winner: Marty “The Moth” Martinez
Ivelisse's new boyfriend, Jeremiah appears. He attacks both Martinez siblings for a while. They then fight back, Ivelisse comes back into the ring and evens the odds. She and Jeremiah get the upper hand on Marty and Mariposa and the couple flee the ring soon after. Ivelisse anf Jeremiah hug in the center of the ring. Jeremiah is trying to get Ivelisse's forgiveness but she isn't buying it yet.
The show goes to break promoting The Best of 5 series match to come between Brian Cage and Texano when the show returns. Another "White Rabbit" vignette airs and this time, there is a man in the shadows. He is wearing a black top hat with a white suit with the rabbit logo is on the back of his suit. He says that he was lost until he found the white rabbit.
The man says that he followed a white rabbit into the woods and that it led him back to his roots and tribe. He says that he is not lost but found. The man then looks up at the camera and smiles and the vignette fades to black. A message then appears saying "Tick, Tock, They'll be here soon".
Best of 5 Series- Ultimate Opportunity Match #3 Cage vs Texano
Cage is up 2-0 in the series and the third match was hard hitting as usual. The finish sees Cage hit a turnbuckle powerbomb for a near fall, leading to Cage calling for his finisher. Texano, though, rolls him up and beats him with a small package.
Winner: Texano
Series score: 2-1
We go back to Dario's office. H opens up the treasure chest. He is looking inside of it and something glows on his face. However, someone knocks the door. Cueto closes the chest and puts it away. Rey Mysterio enters and tells Dario that there may not be that much time left him for him in The Temple.
Dario asks Rey if he is giving his two weeks notice to which Rey says no. Rey asks that Chavo be given a 1-week notice. Rey says he is tired of Chavo's BS and asks Dario to book a Loser leaves Lucha match next week. Rey wants to end Chavo's career once and for all and put a stop to his backstabbing for good. Dario likes the idea and says that it will be the main event for next week's show.
Sexy Star(c) vs Johnny Mundo(Gift Of The Gods Championship)
Striker mentions that this is the first time these two Lucha Underground originals are crossing paths.
The match starts off with some mat wrestling. Mundo then gives her a cheap poke to the eye, turning the match in his favour. The bout is turned to high-flying mode as the action rapidly picks up pace. Jack Evan and PJ Black (Justin Gabriel) attack Sexy Star when the referee gets taken out, laying her out with a double kick.
A backup referee comes but Sexy Star still manages to kickout. The duo superkick the referee Rich Knox as well, blaming him for costing them the match. Striker mentions that there are only 3 licensed referees.
As they are about to do further damage to Sexy Star, The Mack comes for the save. He gives Mundo a stunner, and despite Sexy Star hitting Mundo with a steel chair and the original referee Marty Elias recovering, Mundo still kicks out at 2/3 quarters.
The Mack goes outside to deal with Black and Evans. Mundo tries to finish her off with the "End Of The World" finisher but she moves out of the way. As he is about to hit her with the steel chair, the referee takes the it away. As he does that, Mundo takes out his brass knuckles from his tights, strikes Sexy Star with it, and wins the match.
Winner: And the new Gift Of Gods Champion, Johnny Mundo
