The recap video shows Johnny Mundo's problems with Dario Cuerto and Big Ryck, Mundo and Ryck face off in tonight's main event. We also see highlights of last week's awesome triple threat main event. The in-house band plays us into The Temple before Matt Striker and Vampiro welcome us from the commentary table. Matt Striker talks about Chavo Guerrero Jr's change in attitude. One of his victims is Sexy Star, she's in the ring ready for her match, which is on first tonight. She's handed the microphone by Melissa Santos and cuts a promo on Chavo in Spanish calling him a coward and saying she's going to get revenge not only for herself but for Blue Demon Jr and Mascarita Sagrada also. Ivelisse makes her way out, and we have our first Luchadoras match in Lucha Underground. She cuts a promo on the way to the ring (in English, and after being interupted by the fans) saying Sexy Star deserved what she got for messing with boys that are tougher than her. Ivelisse claims to be the baddest bitch in the building, leading to a slap by Sexy Star.
MATCH 1: IVELISSE VS. SEXY STAR
Ivelisse kindly waits for the bell before taking Sexy Star down for ground and pound, Sexy Star rolls it over and lays in rights of her own before Vampiro calls this “anti-Diva” Sexy Star rolls towards Ivelisse and applies a side headlock, Ivelisse can't get to the ropes so she tries pulling Star's hair. That has no effect, but rights to the gut do and Sexy Star is sent across the ring but blocks a hip toss. She knees Ivelisse in the gut and takes her down with a hip toss. Ivelisse runs into an arm drag as Matt Striker goes over Ivelisse's romantic relationship with Son of Havoc, who isn't at ringside for the match and the fact that he beat Sexy Star on Lucha Underground's first episode. Vampiro thought they were brother and sister. We all know where that went. Ivelisse kinda knocks Sexy Star down then hits a forearm and sends Sexy Star across the ring, Sexy Star leans back matrix-style to avoid a clothesline and kicks Ivelisse in the midsection. Sexy Star picks up speed and sends Ivelisse across the ring with a flying headscissors, knocking her down again with a front dropkick.
Sexy Star soaks in the crowd as Ivelisse begs off in the corner. Ivelisse sends a charging Sexy Star into the middle turnbuckle then forces her boot into Sexy Star's head until the referee breaks it up. Sexy Star brings her head away from the turnbuckle so Ivelisse shoves it back. Ivelisse sends Sexy Star across the ring by her hair and the crowd is split between these two. Ivelisse chokes Sexy Star against the bottom rope and covers, letting Star up at 2. Ivelisse starts mocking Sexy Star before slamming her face into the mat and rubbing it in. Sexy Star starts fighting back as she's brought to her feet but Ivelisse stops that with a swift kick before sending her back down to the mat hard. Sexy Star makes it back to her knees but is sent down with a roundhouse to the chest. Ivelisse covers after doing it again but Sexy Star is able to kick out. Ivelisse pulls back on Sexy Star's neck on the mat, driver her knee into Sexy Star's spine. Matt Striker's really ruining the whole “anyone can fight in the temple, they're all equal” theory with his commentary here.
Sexy Star is able to get to her feet and sends Ivelisse across the ring. They exchange forearms but neither budges so they move on to chops. Sexy Star hits a Codebreaker and they're both down in the ring. Sexy Star uses the ropes to beat Ivelisse to a standing position and regains the advantage with a clothesline. Ivelisse gets to her feet but runs into a back elbow. Another clothesline knocks Ivelisse down a third time, and this time she stays down for a second. Sexy Star hits a pair of rolling vertical suplexes for a nearfall. Sexy Star brings Ivelisse to her feet, pulling at her hair. Ivelisse breaks the grip and slaps Sexy Star hard. Ivelisse applies a hanging guillotine choke thanks to her MMA background and drops Sexy Star on her head. Ivelisse covers and gets 2. She can't believe it and forces Sexy Star's shoulders back down, still not getting three. Ivelisse bangs Sexy Star's head against the mat before complaining to the referee. Sexy Star has time to get back to her feet and she cuts Ivelisse off with a drop toe hold. Sexy Star rolls Ivelisse up with a cradle and gets the win.
WINNER: SEXY STAR
Can we please get a “Luchadoras commentator” to
replace Matt Striker? The only productive thing he did the whole
match was talk about how the chair shot might have effected Sexy
Star. These two put in an amazing effort for this match and really
got the crowd behind them. It's interesting that Sexy Star beat the
female in the team and not the male, I want to see how that plays
out. I genuinely thought the guillotine drop finished the match, even
writing an analysis after it. They put in an amazing effort and the
crowd blew the roof off The Temple when Sexy Star got the win.
WORKRATE: 2.25 PERSONAL ENJOYMENT 3.25/5 OVERALL: 5.5/10
Sexy Star celebrates with an
Eddie Guerrero shimmy on the turnbuckle as we go to commercial. As we
come back we see Dario Cueto with Drago. Drago left him unsatisfied
due to not being in last week's decision (you made the match bro, you
made the rules for it.) tonight he faces King Cuerno.
