Here's a place to check results and comment along with the latest airing of Lucha Underground in its regular Wednesday night at 8PM Eastern time slot on El Rey Network.
Geno will be keeping you up on of all the happenings in Boyle Heights here while the show airs. Bill Hanstock will also bring you a recurring reactions post every week after the show. In addition to a way for folks to keep up, this space is for you to rave and/or bitch about whatever goes down on the hottest new concept to hit pro wrestling in ages - during its initial broadcast!
El Rey is available via the cable and satellite providers list on their webpage here. If one of those is your hook-up and you can't find the channel on your box, reach out to them and ask for it. If you don't see your provider listed or you've cut the cord, you can find El Rey on the Sling streaming subscription service here and fubo.tv here. Or you can order the episodes on iTunes here.
NOTE: Spoilers are out there for these pre-taped broadcast, but many Cagesiders don't partake. If you are going to post or discuss spoilers for this show before they happen, or results of future shows, please use the spoiler bar in your comment.
ANOTHER NOTE: Do not post links to pirate streams or other unlicensed means of watching the show. We all wish it was easier to get El Rey, and trust them when they tell us they're working on it. In the meantime, keep it legal while you're hanging at cSs.

Geno here.
Let us do this.
Mr. Cisco vs. Cortez Castro vs. Joey Ryan
They were the first team eliminated in the finals of the trios tournament, so they were made to have a match together for one of the ancient Aztec medallions. The match was short and Ryan won with a roll up.

Ivelisse & Son of Havoc & Johnny Mundo vs. Prince Puma & Dragon Azteca Jr. & Rey Mysterio
Angelico is hurt, so Mundo was inserted as a partner for the former champions getting a rematch for the titles.
It was a good match, with Puma, Azteca Jr., Mysterio coming away with the win after some shenanigans involving Taya, who blamed Ivelisse for the loss.

GRAVER CONSEQUENCES
Matanza vs. Mil Muertes
This was for the Lucha Underground championship. It's the LU version of a casket match. You win by putting your opponent in the coffin and slamming it shut. They had a big ceremony complete with extras in make up putting wreaths on the coffin.
Catrina used a chair on Matanza early. He grabbed her up and Muertes speared him. Then he dragged the coffin over and they were straight up using it as a weapon. That included Mil using one hand to take the coffin into the ring.
This happened:

They did a great spot where Matanza had Muertes in the coffin but couldn't quite shut it all the way when suddenly Mil's hand shot up through the lid of the casket and slammed Matanza into it.
Catrina took out Dario but Matanza was there to knock her out and put her in a coffin. Matt Striker called it like she was buried alive.
After all the destruction, that left just one coffin that wasn't beat to pieces. Muertes put Matanza in but couldn't close it. Mil tried to punch him until he was out but the Monster countered and got out before delivering a powerbomb on top of the coffin. Not long after, he put Mil in and closed the lid to retain the title.
Matanza def. Muertes
Dario opened the coffin Catrina was in and she wasn't there. He was shocked. The faces of death came out to retrieve the coffin with Muertes in it. It was revealed that one of them was King Cuerno.
End.
