Backstage Update – The Future Of Lucha Underground

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Lucha Underground will tape their two-hour season finale this week, which will air on August 5. It will wrap up all major storylines before a break. There is no contract or set plans for season two, but Lucha Underground is still in negotiations. The original idea was for the show to be a long-term investment for El Rey, who built their channel around it. It will eventually come down to money.

There have been talks of doing a house show tour during the off season. Those plans seem unlikely unless they can sign Rey Mysterio to increase US market sales. However, Mysterio and Alberto El Patron are major expenses. There’s also the chance that Mysterio wouldn’t want to work house shows for a long period of time. Here is the lineup for the season finale:

* Lucha Underground Championship: Prince Puma vs. Mil Muertes
* Lucha Underground Trios Championship: Angelico & Son of Havoc & Ivelisse vs. The Disciples of Death
* Pentagon Jr. vs. Vampiro
* Alberto El Patron vs. Johnny Mundo
* El Texano Jr. vs. Blue Demon Jr.
