Opening Segment
The show opened with a scene where one man was being attacked by several in a darkened setting, however a masked man hits the scene and gets rid of the villains, leaving them laying with a flurry of lucha moves and strikes and offers his hand to the man that was attacked, asking him if he knows the history of Lucha Libre. There was then a flashback scene to ancient Aztec warriors battling it out as the man discussed the legacy that Lucha Libre has featured over the past 100 years, showcasing photos of lucha stars. There was then a clip shown from AAA’s TripleMania where Dario Cueto announced that he was inviting all luchadores to come and fight for him in his temple in the United States. The camera then showed aerial shots of the “Lucha Underground Temple” before cutting ringside to Matt Striker and Vampiro who are the announcers for the show. Striker welcomed everyone and thanked them for being part of the change that is about to take place, while Vampiro said that it’s going to be something different than usual.

In Ring Segment
Dario Cueto was introduced and said that he is the owner and promoter of Lucha Underground and has invited the luchadores to fight in his temple. Cueto said that this is not a promotion where children can cheer for their heroes, but is a temple that honors the lucha traditions of honor, respect and his personal favorite, violence. Cueto said that the luchador who impresses him the most will get a $100,000 bonus and said that whoever impresses him the most in the ring, they will get the money tonight and said that it was their chance to get rich or die trying and said that the first match will feature men who have lucha in their blood.

Video Segment
Dario Cueto was shown in his office with Konnan and thanked Konnan for coming as he wants Konnan to work for him. Konnan said that he doesn’t know about working for Cueto, but definitely wants some of that money he’s throwing around and said that Cueto wants the best wrestlers and he has one that’s right from this “barrio”. Cueto said that he doesn’t know about the best, because he’s signed one who has been all over the world under many names, but in his temple, he’ll be known as Johnny Mundo and that he signed him to make an example of him and that Mundo doesn’t respect his temple and is here for the money and the fame and said that if Konnan’s man is as good as Konnan says, then Konnan will have to have his guy make an example of Johnny Mundo and perhaps the money will go to him.

Singles Match
The Son Of Havoc defeated Sexy Star.

Backstage Segment
Chavo Guerrero Jr. was shown in a room looking upset at his loss when Dario Cueto walked in and asked him what happened and and that he thought Guerrero would have the first victory in his temple and would retire Blue Demon Jr, but instead Chavo tapped out. Cueto asked Chavo what his grandfather and uncles would think and said that since Chavo couldn’t get the job done, then next week, he will have to bring in someone who will and once he arrives, there will be nothing even he can do to stop him and said that 1000 Deaths might be coming for us all. Chavo Guerrero Jr. looked on disgusted.

Singles Match
Johnny Mundo defeated Prince Puma. Post-match, Mundo showed respect to Prince Puma and raised his arm, while the announcers questioned who will get the $100,000 from Cueto who made his way ringside. Cueto got on the mic looking angry and congratulated Johnny and said that he’s earned this and showed off the money. When Mundo went to take the case, it was slammed shut on him as Vampiro said that it’s not the first time he’s seen a promoter screw the boys out of a payday. Cisco and Cortez Castro hit the ring and attacked Mundo, however Big Ryck then showed up and attacked Prince Puma and then hit a chokeslam on Mundo. Cueto said that if people thought that only luchadores would fight in his temple, then they were wrong and said that he has been scouting the world and that these guys wor for him. Cueto, Big Ryck, Cisco and Cortez Castro celebrated in the ring as Cueto said “Welcome to Lucha Underground”.
