Lucha Underground News & Notes 02/24/2018

The first set of tapings for the fourth season of Lucha Underground took place on February 23, 2018 in Los Angeles. We have a report from the first set of tapings, including some returns and debuts. Be aware this update contains big spoilers for season four. Click for today’s update.

One of big questions going into season four was what happened with Dario Cueto. At the end of season three Dario Cueto was shot in the chest by Winter. As he was passing out he dialed his father on the phone.

The season four tapings began with a ten-bell salute to Dario Cueto, which was interrupted by his father, Antonio Cueto. His father is played by the same actor that plays Dario, Luis Fernandez-Gil, but in makeup to make him look older. It is unclear if Antonio Cueto is a new character or is supposed to be Dario Cueto pretending to be his father. Antonio Cuerto then declared that there would be an Aztec Warfare match.

The Aztec Warfare match included most of the returning series regulars, but also had the return of Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Hernandez to the promotion. Tommy Dreamer and Mr. Pec-Tacular Jessie Godderz both made their Lucha Underground debuts in the match. Pentagon Dark ended up winning the Aztec Warfare match and retained the Lucha Underground title in doing so.

Dante Fox was not on the tapings, so he was replaced in the trios championship team by Son of Havoc. The current trios champions are Son of Havoc, Killshot, and The Mack.

There was a triple-threat dark match that featured Aerostar facing Sammy Guevara and Jason Cade in their Lucha Underground debuts. Aerostar won the match. It is unknown if either Guevara or Cade will be involved further in season four. Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet.com is also reporting that Sonny Kiss took part in the tapings. He defeated Jack Evans after answering an open challenge.

Lucha Underground will be taping more episodes today and tomorrow, and then will be filming vignettes during the week. More episodes will be taped on the weekends through mid-March.

Lucha Underground News & Notes 02/25/2018

The second and third tapings for the fourth season of Lucha Underground took place on February 24 and February 25 in Los Angeles. We have reports from the tapings including some more debuts to the promotion. Be aware that this update contains spoilers for upcoming television episodes. Click for today’s update.

On February 24 Vanilla Ice was in attendance for the second day of tapings, and Joey Ryan is said to have given a shout out to him in a match. However, the biggest news coming out of the second day of tapings was Jack Hager, the former Jack Swagger, making his debut with the promotion, as first reported by Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet.com. He wrestled in what is believed to have been a dark match.

Jack Hager returned for the third set of tapings on February 25 and faced Sammy Guevara. Hager wound up winning the match and then turned heel by attacking Guevara after.

Chelsea Green made her debut with Lucha Underground this weekend as well. On February 25 she was involved in a four-way match with Jeremiah Crane (Sami Callihan), Marty “the Moth” Martinez, and Exolicious (Sonny Kiss). Marty “The Moth” Martinez won the match. Crane, who along with Fenix, had previously been defeated by Mil Muertes in a Three Ways to the Grave casket match at Friday’s tapings, where both Crane and Fenix were placed in separate caskets.

At the Friday February 23 tapings an angle was setup where Brian Cage attacked Pentagon Dark and challenged him for the Lucha Underground title. At Sunday’s tapings Pentagon Dark successfully defended his title against Cage.

This completes their first round of in-ring tapings for the new season, with the next tapings scheduled for Thursday, March 1 through Saturday, March 3. Tickets for the next three taping dates became available earlier today and were taken up within a couple of hours. The promotion will be filming backstage segments for the new season through the week.
