Tonight's show opens with Dario Cueto in his jail cell. Doing chin ups as a guard comes to him and says. "You must have friends in high places". Cueto exits the cell and responds... "You have no idea".
Cueto is leaving prison and getting back his belongings. The prison guard handing Cueto his items is being played by none other than Wayne Ferris. Better known as The Honky Tonk Man. He hands Cueto his belongings. The last of which is The giant key to The Temple.
Cueto is leaving the prison and a limo pulls up to drive him away. Once inside the limo, Cueto is told by his lawyer that the charges against him have been dropped. Inside the darkened area of the limo is a man who starts speaking Spanish to Cueto. His voice slightly distorted. The man in the dark reaches out with what appears to be an iron hand and tells Cueto "Waste my time again....and your next sentence will be death... Cueto nervously responds by saying that it's time to spread the news that The Temple is back in business.
The Lucha Underground logo is displayed on screen. This is followed by an overhead shot of Los Angeles.
The camera pans over and then into The Temple.
Matt Striker and Vampiro are at ringside and welcome the audience to tonight's premiere episode. Vampiro addresses what happened at the end of last season and says he is no longer anyone's master and that he is just here to do the job of announcing this season.

But first, He is going to announce the main event for tonight. Cueto announces that Rey Mysterio will be in the main event but then is interrupted by the crowd who all guess that Rey's opponent will be Matanza. Cueto laughs and says no. Rey will face the man who tried to break Dario's arm at Ultima Lucha Dos, Pentagon Dark. Cueto makes fun of Vampiro at ringside. Brings up how Pentagon Dark made him bleed and squeal like a pig.
Dario then says, What about my brother Matanza. Cueto says that no one can beat him but might as well let people try. Cueto announces that he has a new concept this season. "Dario's Dial Of Doom".
