Lucha Underground Wrestlers React to Promotion's Return Tease
Former Lucha Underground wrestlers reacted with surprise and excitement after the promotion's dormant social media account posted a cryptic teaser video on Friday. The account, which had been inactive since 2019, shared a short video featuring a lucha mask followed by the word "¿Más?" with the caption "soon."
Taya Valkyrie expressed shock at the announcement, writing "I'm sorry WHAT???!!!" on social media. Vinnie Massaro posted "Excuse me?" in response to the tease.
Willie Mack shared a photo of himself alongside AR Fox and Killshot (Swerve Strickland) as the Lucha Underground Trios Champions. Ivelisse posted a video of herself walking down the steps at the old temple venue in Boyle Heights.
Wrestlers from other promotions also chimed in. AEW's The Butcher wrote "Yo i want in!!!!" while TNA's AJ Francis pitched a character concept.
Francis detailed his idea for a masked character called "El Dinero" with money-themed attire based on Robert De Niro movie costumes.
"Okay hear me out. I have always wanted to wrestle under a mask as 'El Dinero' … & the mask is obviously money themed but the attire is different outfits Robert Dinero wore in different movies… starting with Taxi Driver. Yes, I have spent too much time thinking about this," Francis wrote.
Chelsea Green and former WWE wrestler Shelly Martinez also reacted to the announcement. The rights to Lucha Underground are currently owned by Lucha Underground LLC, which filed two trademarks related to the brand in January 2025.
