This week on Lucha Underground 4 matches in the Cueto Cup were featured. We are now halfway through the 1st round of the tournament.

Lucha Underground 203E23
June 21st 2017
Boyle Heights, Los Angeles

  • The first scene of the show was Fenix arriving to the Temple. He met ring announcer Melissa Santos, and it was established the two are in a romantic relationship.
  • Marty “the Moth” watched from a distance in an insane and jealous manner.

1. Cueto Cup (1st Round)
Cage vs. Vinnie Massaro

  • Cage took off his murderous magical glove before the match started.
  • While Cage took most of the offence, Massaro got back into it with eye pokes and similar cheap manoeveurs.
  • While on offence Massaro spotted the glove and motioned towards it.
  • Cage cut him off before he could use it however, and then beat him with a Falcon Arrow/Brainbuster type move.
  • After the match, Cage put on the glove and beat Vinnie up with it, busting him wide open.

Winner: Cage

A promotional video for Johnny Mundo vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. is played, though we still don’t have an actual date for the match.

2. Cueto Cup (1st Round)
Marty “the Moth” Martinez (Moth Tribe) vs. Saltador (Rabbit Tribe)

  • Saltador is dressed in all checkers and uses a very trippy style, as all members of Rabbit tribe tend to do.
  • Marty won with a slam/codebreaker like move.

Winner: Marty Martinez

  • In the back, Paul London and another member of the Rabbit tribe get on their knees and bow to Mascarita Sagrada.
  • The Rabbit tribe say that now that Saltador is out of the tournament they are turning to Sagrada, apparently confusing him with a large rabbit. Sagrada just walks passed them.
  • In the back Marty is shown in a room full of pictures of Melissa Santos, when his sister, Mariposa, walks in.
  • Mariposa tells Marty that his infatuation with Santos has made him weak.

3. Cueto Cup (1st Round)
Pindar (Reptile Tribe) vs. Mascarita Sagrada
  • While Sagrada got in much of his offence, the size difference and frequent interference from Kobra Moon made the difference.
  • Pindar won with a modified power-bomb.

Winner: Pindar

4. Cueto Cup (1st Round)
Fenix vs. Mariposa (Moth Tribe)

  • If Mariposa had won this match she would have faced her own brother in the next round.
  • Fenix caught Mariposa going for a cross-body and turned it into the Fenix Driver for the pin.
  • After the match, Marty the Moth attacked Fenix, possibly because they meet next in the tournament, and possibly because Fenix is now with Melissa Santos.
  • Fenix ended up taking out both members of the Moth tribe, as Santos looked on impressed.

Winner: Fenix
