* Episod 7: ''Payback Time'' lives up to its name as Prince Puma gets revenge on and beats Mil Muertes not only for defeating him at the first Ultima Lucha, but for also costing him earlier against Matanza.

** A bigger one, in the final moments of the match, Puma hits his finisher, The 630 on Matanza only to be yanked out and attacked by Mil Muertes. That's not the awesome part, the awesome part is that it pans to Matanza and it shows him '''still lying on the mat'''--if Puma had been able to make the cover, there would've been a new Lucha Underground champion. In other words, despite how terrifying and destructive he is, Matanza is ''not'' invincible and ''can'' be beaten.

That's not the awesome part, the awesome part is that it pans to Matanza and it shows him still on the ground and in pain and if Puma had covered him and not for the inteference of Mil Muertes, there would've been a new Lucha Underground champion showing that yes, despite how terrifying and destructive he is, that Matanza is not invincible and CAN be beaten.

* Episode 5 of Season 3: ''The Prince and The Monster'' Prince Puma faces Matanza for the Lucha Underground championship. During it, he hits an impressive Northern Lights Suplex on Matanza, but he doesn't stop there, he then LIFTS up [[WrestlingMonster Matanza]] from the ground and delivers a stunning brainbuster.

* In Season 2 Episode 4, Prince Puma has the chance to do what Pentagon Jr has done to so many others and break his arm and looks poised to do Pentagon's own move onto him. Only instead to not do it and let go of the hold proving himself the better man in front of everyone.

** The ending was freakish, with [[spoiler: Killshot double stomping Marty through a table, FROM A TWENTY FOOT HIGH LADDER, after taking his dog tags back. Safe to say nobody is going to steal his tags again.]]

* From Season 3, Episode 2: Killshot vs. Marty "The Moth" Martinez in a Weapons of Mass Destruction match (where any weapon is legal). Both men took an insane amount of punishment and kept on fighting an incredible and vicious battle, with special credit going to Marty since he got busted open early and had a mask of blood for much of the fight.

* Season 3 of Lucha Underground begins on September 7th, with 40 new Episodes!

** Then all six men proceed to burn the house down, with highlights like a [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BDCPyF2smPW/ 630 powerbomb]] from Cage. All of it was capped off by Cage, Mysterio, and Puma hitting triple 619's in stereo, Cage whopping Jack Evans with a discus clothesline, and Puma's classic 630 splash.

** The triple threat match for the Lucha Underground Championship between Mil Muertes, Pentagon Jr. and Prince Puma

** Pentagon Jr. was also for sure the star of the night. He got the loudest pop [[https://twitter.com/CheatSheetATX/status/709912150337134593 during his entrance,]] got a huge cheer during his post match promo, had the most fans dressed up as him, and was definitely acting like a face the entire time and loving it.

** Taya and Ivelisse have an excellent fight that shows both women to be amazing contenders with plenty of spite to go around for each other, and ends with Taya tapping out.
** Finally, a six man tag match which pits Cage and two partners of his choosing against Johnny Mundo and two partners of HIS choosing.

** First was a four way match between Drago, Son of Havoc, Aerostar, and Pentagon Jr. Awesome performances from everyone involved. [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BC_tAOmsUD-/?tagged=austinwarfare Aerostar's dive off the second floor balcony]] in that match was the defining moment, but there were plenty of other great ones, like Pentagon [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BDBbeKfEAZT/ putting Aerostar through a table]].

** Then Mil Muertes and Catrina appear and intimidate Vampiro out of the ring, before announcing that Fenix has to defend the championship shot he'll get for the belt (Austin Warfare happened the day before Fenix turned in his Gift of the Gods title), and if he loses he can't ever have a title match shot again.

** First and foremost, [[spoiler: Pentagon Jr's rebirth into Pentagon Dark. Vampiro tells Pentagon that in order to defeat Matanza, he has to destroy the man he was before. Entering a cave, Pentagon fights multiple versions of himself before Vampiro (wearing a Pentagon mask) attacks. The Man with Zero Fear lays out his master, who proclaims him ready to be reborn. Giving him a candle, Vamp tells him that the light of the candle expresses Pentagon Jr., and that to capture the Lucha Underground Championship, he had to extinguish the light and enter the dark. Pentagon then blows out the candle.]]
** His match against Matanza is, for the most part, a CurbStompBattle...[[spoiler: in Pentagon Dark's favor! Matanza doesn't get much offense in until about the halfway point. Even then, it wasn't enough to stop the newly christened Pentagon Dark. It took a distraction from Dario Cueto and a barbwire baseball bat (introduced by Vampiro to help Pentagon) to keep him down.]]
** The end of the show. [[spoiler: Pentagon Dark, blaming his loss to Matanza on Vampiro, attacks him with the barbwire bat. After laying out Matt Striker with a DEVASTATING superkick, Pentagon drags Vampiro into the ring. Raking the barbwire against Vampiro's skin and drawing blood, Pentagon delivers hard kicks to his master...or FORMER master, as Pentagon Dark declares he no longer needs Vampiro and he is his own master! The only thing that he needs is Vampiro's blood to fuel him. And with that said, he takes his hand and covers it in Vampiro's blood before licking it off, ending the show on the visual of a beaten, bloodied Vampiro laying prone on the mat.]]
** Aerostar, Drago and Fenix winning The Lucha Underground Trios championship, with an assist from Angelico who returned to The Temple and assaulted Johnny Mundo

** Prince Puma versus Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr. The Prince versus El Rey. [[spoiler: The match is very back and forth, but Puma shows that he can hang with Rey Rey. Early on in the match, Puma has Mysterio set up in a Tombstone position. Instead of going for that, he pulls Rey away from his chest and drops the vet chest first on his knees. Rey goes for the 619 and Puma moves out of the way. Instead, it's Rey who ends up on the ropes. Puma calls out "323" (the area code for Boyle Heights) and does the 619, which is followed up by a springboard 630 senton which Mysterio kicks out of. Even a Benadryller isn't enough. Rey fights back with all of his heart and connects with the 619 before laying out Puma with a springboard senton, getting him the victory. Despite his win, Rey lets Puma soak in the cheers of the Temple, showing respect to his opponent and potential successor as the face of lucha libre.]]

** Ivelisse facing down Catrina. Despite her broken foot, Ivelisse threw her crutches aside, hopped over to Catrina and did her damn best to beat her up. Meanwhile, Angelico once again threw himself off Cueto's office into the Disciples of Death down below! This is the third time he did this, and it's still awesome.
** Drago vs. Hernandez in a lumberjack match. Which becomes Hernandez vs Drago and everyone. None of the crowd dares to hit Drago when he's outside the ring, but Hernandez got his ass whooped left and right, and at one point getting the poison mist while doing a suicide dive to ouside the ring, and nunchakus on his head, courtesy of Drago. Considering how much of an asshole he has been in the past episodes, it is SOOO well deserved.

* The Iron Man match between Prince Puma and Johnny Mundo on the June 17 show for the Lucha Underground Championship. Highlights include Puma spearing Mundo through four tables!

* The Fenix/Mil Muertes Death Match. Muertes powerbombs Fenix THROUGH THE ROOF OF DARIO CUETO'S OFFICE!

* During the Trios ladder match, [[https://youtu.be/54r7Z0Yotg8 Angelico dives off the top of Cueto's office]] '''again''', this time to knock Castro off the ladder with a leaping dropkick.

** To give you an idea of how crazy this match is... the casket is used AS A WEAPON during the match. By the time the loser is finally laid to rest, the casket is bent and banged out of shape like crazy.

** Prince Puma versus Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr. The Prince versus El Rey. [[spoiler: The match is very back and forth, but Puma shows that he can hang with Rey Rey. Early on in the match, Puma has Mysterio set up in a Tombstone position. Instead of going for that, he pulls Rey away from his chest and drops the vet chest first on his knees.

** The thing that took what was already the best spot of the season and elevated it to something ''legendary'' was how suddenly it came out of ''nowhere.'' Angelico didn't set it up, didn't pose on the roof to draw attention to what he was about to do, in fact it was quite the opposite. It was the DarkestHour; Ivelisse was alone in the ring with an injured foot, desperately scrambling towards the Singapore cane to defend herself as Cortez and Bael advanced menacingly on her. Havoc was being kept out of the ring by Mr. Cisco and less than ten seconds earlier we'd seen Angelico slumped against the fence that separated the office roof from the rest of the stands, written off by the commentators as "too far to do a thing". Matt Striker was just making a speech about how the team's run "was fun while it lasted" when the camera swings up to the office roof just as Angelico takes three sprinting steps and '''''flies!'''''
