11/30 Lucha Underground Report

Tonight's show opens with a video chronicling the storyline history of Pentagon Dark and Black Lotus.

The opening scene of the show has Pentagon Dark being confronted by his former mentor, Vampiro behind the scenes at The Temple. He tells Pentagon that he has to pay for his former sins. That even if he walks out of the gauntlet alive tonight. That just because Vampiro is no longer Pentagon's master, He hasn't forgotten what he did to him. Pentagon Dark gives Vampiro the "Cero Miedo" symbol and walks away from him.
We are now inside the Temple. Matt Striker welcomes the audience to the show. Matt recaps what took place at Aztec Warfare III between Pentagon Dark and The Black Lotus Triad. Every time Matt turns to Vampiro to comment on the gauntlet match. Vamp refuses to respond. Stays silent and doesn't join Matt in hyping the match.
Gauntlet Match
(The Black Lotus Triad) Black Lotus, Doku, Hitokiri & Yurei vs. Pentagon Dark
Pentagon Dark is introduced first. He starts off the match with "Doku". She enters the ring with a leather jacket draped over her, and her arms crossed. Unique entrance which even confuses Pentagon... Matt Striker tries to get Vampiro to comment on the match and give background on Doku. Instead, Vampiro gives an analogy of a warrior asking a monk about the difference between heaven and hell. When he doesn't obtain the knowledge that he seeks... The warrior realizes that not knowing is hell... Striker responds to Vamp's cryptic message and asks if it's a threat towards Pentagon. Vamp responds by saying to Matt... "Just watch the match".
Doku shows "Cero Miedo" towards Pentagon. She calls him to meet her in the center of the ring. They start exchanging strikes. Doku gets the better of Pentagon. He is reeling in the corner but bounces out, and hits a great looking dropkick that stuns Doku. She gets back to her feet and charges at Pentagon. Unloads several chops and forearms on him. She then tries to run at Pentagon Dark again and gets hit with a very stiff superkick in the face. That was brutal.
Doku is on the mat writhing in pain. Pentagon Dark goes on the offensive and chops the hell out of her. Throws Doku outside the ring. Pentagon takes his aggression to Doku on the outside. The crowd is firmly behind Pentagon Dark, as he beats Doku down. Pentagon press slams Doku over his head and then drops her face first on the ring apron. Pentagon then picks up Doku and throws her into the barricade at ringside. The beating continues.... Pentagon takes Doku into the ring and delivers some stiff kicks. Doku actually rallies at one point and spears Pentagon. She goes to the top rope and delivers a flying elbow drop on Pentagon Dark. She goes for a second one and when she lands, she gets caught in Pentagon's arm breaker submission. Pentagon breaks Doku's arm and the ref calls for the bell.

One down, 3 to go for Pentagon Dark.
- Back from the break... Jeremiah is backstage at the temple lifting weights. He is approached by Catrina. She mockingly says that it is a shame, with what happened to Jeremiah's girlfriend Ivelisse. Jeremiah finds it interesting that Ivelisse was injured after challenging Catrina to a match at Ultima Lucha. Catrina sneaks up behind Jeremiah and starts speaking seductively. Jeremiah starts going into a trance like state. Catrina says that she is responsible for bringing Jeremiah to the temple. She starts touching him and says that he is not in love with Ivelisse. That Jeremiah is in love with her. She points out as proof, that Jeremiah is wearing a piece of Catrina's stone around his neck. An item, he stole from her in the past. Catrina tells Jeremiah that she is in love with someone else. She then gives him the lick of death.
Back at The Temple. Pentagon Dark is waiting for the next member of the Black Lotus Triad. He grabs the mic and in Spanish says... That it is not important how many members of the Triad that there are. That he will break all of their arms. He then swears to Black Lotus that after he is done with the Triad. He is going to break her arm and break her in two.
Gauntlet Match
Pentagon Dark vs. Yurei
Melissa Santos does the introductions for the next phase of the Gauntlet that Pentagon has reached. Out comes Yurei. The show goes to break before Yurei's arm does.
When the show returns. The action begins. Pentagon and Yurei exchange several arm drags to start off. Yurei then knocks Pentagon to the outside and performs a beautiful looking cross body off the top rope, and unto Pentagon. She gets a round of applause from the "believers".


Yurei takes the fight to Pentagon on the outside. She throws him into the walls surrounding the temple. Rams his head into the wooden chairs at ringside repeatedly. Yurei then brings Pentagon to the broadcast table. She then grabs the ring bell and hits him over the head with it. Yurei continues her onslaught on the outside. Pentagon starts battling back. They start exchanging strikes. The action ends up back in the ring. Yurei tries to kick Pentagon, He counters and gets her in an ankle lock submission. Yurei refuses to tap and gets to the ring ropes. Pentagon Dark is now in full control and starts beating down Yurei. She eventually rallies and hits a hurancanrana on Pentagon. She heads to the top rope and hits a double foot stomp on him. It leads to a 2 count... Yurei then hits an around the world DDT on Pentagon. She then tries to leap onto Pentagon, He catches her in mid air and nails her with the package piledriver. This sets up Pentagon breaking Yurei's arm and the ref calls for the bell.

Back from the break. Matanza is in his cell in The Temple. He is slamming his hands against the wall. His brother Dario approaches him. Tells him that he should be ready to get The Lucha Underground Championship back next week. Matanza tells Dario No!..... Dario tries to convince Matanza to go after the LU Title, but Matanza refuses. Dario asks Matanza what he wants. He yells "Mysterio". The camera pans away from Matanza's cell and on the wall written in blood, is Rey Mysterio's question mark symbol.
Gauntlet Match
Pentagon Dark vs. Hitokiri
The gauntlet continues.... Hitokiri's name translates to assassin in Japanese. Hitokiri starts off the next phase of the gauntlet by hitting Pentagon with a missile dropkick off the top rope. She then proceeds to launch herself over the top rope and onto Pentagon. Which prompts a very loud "Holy" chant from the believers in the Temple. Hitokiri then hits a suicide dive on Pentagon. Gets a hold of chair and slams Pentagon with it repeatedly. She stays in control by throwing Pentagon around and through a row of chairs at ringside. Hitokiri then grabs Pentagon, she exposes the concrete floor and slams Pentagon onto it.


The action is back inside the ring now. Hitokiri stays in control until Pentagon lands a low blow on her. Pentagon then proceeds to beat down on Hitokiri with some vicious strikes. He then straight up kicks her right in the head. Action back on the outside and Pentagon flings Hitokiri through the wooden chairs at ringside. Cue the Holy Chant.... Pentagon Dark starts choking Hitokiri out with an electrical cable. He wraps her neck around the ring post and chokes her out some more. Pentagon grabs a steel chair and relentlessly whacks Hitokiri with it. The beating continues and she gets flung into another 5 rows of chairs. Pentagon then gives her a death valley driver on the floor.
Hitokiri actually survives this level of beating. She manages to drop toe hold Pentagon into a steel chair, and then..., She runs up the stairs and dives off of the top of Dario Cueto's office and onto Pentagon!....


Pentagon Dark is now dragged into the ring by Hitokiri. Pentagon tries to attempt the package piledriver, but Hitokiri counters it into a destroyer bomb. She covers Pentagon and pins him 1,2,3!
Hitokiri defeats Pentagon Dark by pinfall
Despite being pinned by Hitokiri. The gauntlet isn't over for Pentagon, as Black Lotus heads to the ring. Looking for revenge with her triad members by her side. Yurei and Doku are clutching their arms. But no slings at this point.
Gauntlet Match
Black Lotus vs. Pentagon Dark
Pentagon Dark is still out from The Destroyer Bomb performed by Hitokiri. Referee Marty Elias waits for Pentagon to rise before signaling for the gauntlet match to continue. Black Lotus doesn't wait. She knocks down the ref and she starts beating down Pentagon. The believers chant "Break His Arm", and that's exactly what Black Lotus does.
No official announcement for the end of this match, but obviously the Gauntlet has concluded. Pentagon can't continue.
As The Black Lotus Triad stands over a broken Pentagon Dark. Out comes Dragon Azteca. He comes into the ring. Stares down his enemy Black Lotus. After the brief staredown, Lotus and her triad leave. Azteca then sizes up Pentagon and then proceeds to break his other arm. Making Pentagon Dark go from "Cero Miedo" to "Cero Armas". Vampiro is shown at ringside smiling at Pentagon's fate.
The final scene of this week's show has Prince Puma waking up in the casket, that Mil Muertes put him in. Vampiro is standing over him. Vampiro has his face painted. Almost looking like a death mask. Vamp tells Puma, "Come with me". As the show ends.

Welcome to WWE NXT. Tonight's matches come from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Let's head straight to the ring for women's division action.
Asuka vs. Nicole Matthews

Matthews able to fight off the early submission and lays in a couple forearms. Not the best idea Matthews has had today as it just fires up the women's champ. Asuka ducks a whip, rebounds, and lands a hip attack. She follows it up with a series of kicks. She can't even land the finishing kick before Matthews falls to the ground. Asuka then goes into a combo of submissions including an arm bar and eventually the Asuka Lock. Matthews taps to give Asuka the quick win.

No Way Jose vs. Eric Young (w/ SAnitY)

Young slips out of the ring to avoid a pin attempt. SAnitY tries to set up an ambush but Jose throws EY back in the ring. Another whip sends Young over the turnbuckle and out toward his cohorts as we head to break.

The pace is slowed as Young opts for the ground and pound route of taking out Jose. Unique hanging Dragon Sleeper as Young pulls Jose up from a seated position on the turnbuckle.

Samoa Joe vs. Tye Dillinger

The champ makes his entrance to a nice pop. Dasha Fuentes gets a word with Dillinger on his way out. The Perfect Ten says if he doesn't beat Joe tonight, he's just not sure if he belongs here anymore. Dillinger still massively over in the Great White North.
The bell rings and Dillinger instantly goes to town on Joe with chops, but Joe follows suit with some thunderous chops of his own. Dillinger able to get the upper hand and the champ heads outside for a breather as we head to break.
Back from break and Dillinger able to perfectly pound his fist into Joe's face, you guessed it, ten times. Out-powering Joe may not be the greatest idea ever, as Joe able to pick up Dillinger and drives him knees first into the mat, taking away the Tye Breaker. Kicks and strikes are now on the menu, but Joe able to transition into a leg submission. Dillinger makes the ropes, but the onslaught continues. Joe returns the favor from the earlier slap, Tye returns fire, but Samoa Joe able to seamlessly throw a power slam. More stiff forearms and elbows from Joe as a "Canada" chant rings out in Ottawa. Dillinger able to mount some minor offense, but not before he's taken right back down as we head to another break.
Back from commercial and the status quo remains. Joe continues to dominate and is now seeming to enjoy it. He hooks the injured left leg but Dillinger kicks out. Crowd urging their countryman on with "Ten" chants and he elbows his way only as far as an atomic drop. Tye able to duck a knee and hit a big clothesline to take the champ down. The right knee seems to be working just fine as he lands one square in the chest of Joe. Dillinger stomps a mud hole in Joe and slides the knee pads down to prep for the Tye Breaker. Dillinger is met with a German Suplex instead, but counters the next into a Super Kick. He makes the cover, but the champ out at two. Dillinger lifts Joe up again for the Tye Breaker, but Joe slides out and hits a big power bomb. He makes the cover, Dillinger out at two and immediately turns it into a crab submission. That doesn't get the job done, so he rolls into a crossface. Still no tap, Joe turns to the Coquina Clutch. That one does the job, as Dillinger passes out and the referee calls for the bell.
Winner via Submission: Samoa Joe
- They preview Joe/Nakamura for December 3 once again. Joe celebrates at the ramp. His music cuts and Dillinger gets a nice sendoff from the Canadian crowd as we head off the air.

11/29 WWE Smackdown Report

We see the Smackdown video before going into the arena to see a pyrotechnics display. Tonight, we’ll see Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton take on American Alpha. The winners will face Heath Slater and Rhyno for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships this Sunday at WWE TLC.

Contract signing for the Smackdown Women’s Championship match at WWE TLC

Renee Young is in the ring. The ring is decorated with a black carpet and has a table. Renee mentions the upcoming PPV before stating that Alexa Bliss will challenge Becky Lynch for the Smackdown Women’s Championship. We’re going to make that match official. She first welcomes Alexa Bliss, who makes her way to the ring looking thoroughly bored with the whole procedure. We see footage of Becky Lynch getting Natalya to submit last week. Bliss then attacked her after the match. Renee Young then introduces the Smackdown Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch. Bliss immediately puts her hands over her ears to avoid listening to Lynch’s music.
Bliss immediately cuts Renee off and says they can take it from here. They’ll let her know if they need any advice on bad fashion. Lynch makes a knock at Bliss’ Harley Quinn obsession. Bliss says she used to think Lynch was a pathetic coward that would go through all costs to avoid her, but that would imply she’s clever enough to formulate a plan. When they faced each other in Glasgow, Lynch escaped with the title on dumb Irish luck. If the referee saw her foot on the bottom rope, she’d be Smackdown Women’s Champion. Bliss says the crowd agrees with her, but they instead boo her. Bliss is shocked. Lynch says she just figured something out. Bliss reminds her of her cousin: they’re both blonde, have an unhealthy obsession with glitter, and cry and moan when they don’t get their way. However, her cousin is four years old. What’s Bliss’ excuse? Bliss says that was rude and mentions that her foot was on the ropes. Lynch says at Glasgow, Bliss had a choice: use a foot or lose an arm. At TLC, she won’t give her that choice. Lynch then signs the contract.
Bliss says she would love to know what it’s like to live in Lynch’s fantasy world where if you’re really nice to everyone and work really hard, you can accomplish anything. Lynch says being nice did not get her into the biggest women’s match in WrestleMania history. It also wasn’t the reason she was the first woman drafted to Smackdown Live nor the reason she’s the Smackdown Women’s Champion. She got those things because she is relentless. She’s Smackdown Live’s version of the honey badger. Bliss has been here four months and has only accomplished multi-colored lips, some good soundbites on Talking Smack, and a victim’s mentality. If Bliss thinks that’s what it takes to be a champion around here, she’s in for a rude awakening. Bliss seems like she’s getting ill and says when she hears Lynch speak, she feels like she’s going to vomit. Life isn’t like the Disney Channel. No matter how good you are or how hard you work, there’s always someone better, and she’s standing in front of her. Bliss says Lynch can gather her lucky charms because nothing will help when she pours ice cold water on her “Straight Fire” and becomes the new Smackdown Women’s Champion. Bliss signs the contract and says her name is not “Lexy,” it’s Alexa.
Lynch says before Bliss says anything else, she can answer this — Lynch then punches her in the face. Lynch punches her a few times before hitting an exploder suplex. Lynch powers her into the corner and stomps her. Lynch puts her in the other corner and stomps her to the delight of the crowd. Lynch removes the black tablecloth, positions the table, and puts Bliss on the top rope. Lynch goes for a superplex through the table, but Bliss stops her and pushes her through the table! Bliss sits on the top rope and smiles at the carnage.
Later tonight, Dean Ambrose will have James Ellsworth as a guest on The Ambrose Asylum. Coming up next, Dolph Ziggler and Kalisto will face The Miz and Baron Corbin.
-Commercial Break-
Replays are shown of Alexa Bliss putting Becky Lynch through a table.

Dolph Ziggler and Kalisto vs. Baron Corbin and The Miz

Footage is shown of Baron Corbin attacking Kalisto last week. Later in that evening, Kalisto attacked Corbin with a chair.
Dolph Ziggler will start the match against Baron Corbin. Corbin quickly goes to attack Kalisto before turning into a dropkick from Ziggler. Ziggler gives him an avalanche in the corner before knocking The Miz off the apron. Corbin immediately takes him down and punches away at him.
-Commercial Break-
We come back from the break to see Corbin punching away at Ziggler. Corbin knees him in the ribs before sending him into the corner. Corbin charges, but Ziggler sidesteps him. Corbin quickly gets to his feet and attacks Ziggler before knocking Kalisto off the apron. Corbin throws Ziggler out of the ring and tags in The Miz. Miz gets off the apron goes under the ring. Miz pulls out a ladder and props it up against the ring post. Ziggler puts the brakes on being sent into the ladder and gives Miz a nasty DDT on the floor! Corbin tries to blindside Ziggler, but he ducks and connects with a Superkick. The referee is counting them out, but they’re both in at nine. Miz grabs Ziggler’s foot, but he still is able to tag Kalisto.
Kalisto comes off the top rope with a springboard dropkick. Kalisto kicks away at him, ducks a clothesline, and hits a springboard spinning elbow. Kalisto then connects with a head-scissor DDT for a near fall. Miz quickly comes back with a big boot before giving Ziggler a baseball slide. Miz goes outside and sends Ziggler into the barricade. Corbin gets to his feet near Miz, and Kalisto wipes him out with a suicide dive. Miz quickly attacks Kalisto and puts him back in the ring. Ziggler superkicks Miz as he attempts to get back in the ring. Maryse climbs the steel steps and pushes the ladder into Ziggler! Inside the ring, Kalisto hits Miz with Solida del Sol, but Corbin gets in the ring and cracks him in the spine with a chair! The referee calls for the bell.

Winners by Disqualification: Dolph Ziggler and Kalisto

Later tonight, we’ll see Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton face American Alpha. The winners face Heath Slater and Rhyno at WWE TLC for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships.
-Commercial Break-
WWE 205 Live premiers immediately after Smackdown Live on the WWE Network.
American Alpha is warming up when one of the backstage interviewers walk up to them. Dasha asks if they’re prepared to face the unpredictable Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton. Chad Gable says they’re definitely prepared. What they weren’t prepared for was the Wyatts to show up last week when they already won their title shot. They won the turmoil match. Jason Jordan says they have a lot in common with Randy and Bray. Gable wonders if they know how to levitate. They can suplex them and eventually they’ll come back down. Jordan says Bray and Randy make the lights go out, but they’ll make their lights go out. Gable says they will prove again why they’re the best team on Smackdown Live. Jordan says when they see them coming, they should run.
The Wyatt Family’s video flashes on the screen, and we go elsewhere backstage to see Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, and Luke Harper. Wyatt says American Alpha is delusional. If they want to prove they’re the greatest team on Smackdown Live… Orton cuts him off and says he used to be just like American Alpha. He was naive, blind, and closed-minded. Now, he sees everything and feels as if he belongs. They proved at Survivor Series that no one can break their bond. They proved they’re the best. Tonight, they’ll do what needs to be done against American Alpha. Orton then turns to Luke Harper and asks if he’s going to do what needs to be done against Kane. Wyatt tells Harper to send Kane back to hell. Harper stares at Orton before angrily walking off. Wyatt takes a quick glance at Orton before smiling.
Carmella is seen walking backstage. She’ll be in action, next.
-Commercial Break-

Carmella collides with Nikki Bella

Carmella makes her way to the ring and grabs a microphone. She says before her opponent comes out, she has a special message for Nikki Bella’s boyfriend. Carmella is interrupted by a “How you doin'” chant, and she responds by saying she’ll be a hell of a lot better when she gets out of here. They boo her. Carmella says she has a message for John Cena. She wants to publicly apologize for what she’s going to do to his girlfriend. This Sunday in their No Disqualification match, she’s going to pick up a chair and hit Nikki so hard in the chest that her own… Bella Twins will pop out of her back. That’s a promise. She’ll be doing Cena a favor because she’ll rearrange her face so bad that the last thing that will be on her mind is a wedding. Carmella can see Nikki posting YouTube videos from her hospital bed.
Nikki Bella’s music hits, and she charges down to the ring before spearing Carmella. Nikki punches away at her and shoulders her in the corner. The referee backs her up, and Carmella slaps her down.

The Ambrose Asylum with special guest James Ellsworth

Dean Ambrose makes his way to the ring to a nice reception from the crowd. Ambrose will face AJ Styles this Sunday for the WWE World Championship in a TLC Match. Inside the ring is a tacky carpet, a cardboard sign saying, “Ambrose Asylum: TLC Edition,” and a table, a ladder, and a chair. Ambrose says it’s been a while since he’s had an Ambrose Asylum, but he hasn’t lost his touch. This will be a hell of a show. His guest has two fists of fighting chance and a brand new Smackdown Live contract: James Ellsworth. Ellsworth makes his way to the ring to a decent reception holding his neck in pain from last week’s attack at Survivor Series. Ellsworth gets in the ring and looks moved by the “Ellsworth” chant. Ambrose congratulates him on his contract before asking how old his wrestling boots are. Ambrose says they have to get him something better. Next question, did he ever think in a million years that he’d be in the ring as a full-time member of the Smackdown roster. Ellsworth never would have imagined he’d be a member of the roster even six months ago. However, he kept showing up and showing up. Finally, he was at the right place at the right time. Thanks to Ambrose, he’s now an official WWE Superstar. The crowd gives him a nice hand. If there’s anything Ambrose ever needs, he’s right by his side. Ambrose says he doesn’t need to thank him. Ellsworth can thank God for… well, he’s probably got good karma from a past life. Actually, if he wants to wash his car, do his laundry, and get him a six-pack after show, that would be cool.
Last week, Ellsworth also earned a future opportunity for the WWE World Title. Ambrose wants to put him on the hot seat. Who is he rooting for this Sunday. Ellsworth says it would be an absolute honor to wrestle Ambrose for the WWE World Championship, but on the other hand, he has defeated AJ Styles three times, so maybe he has his number and can do it again. Ambrose sarcastically says Ellsworth is drunk with power.
AJ Styles’ music hits, and he asks if this is their definition of quality entertainment. Styles looks deeply concerned as he stands on the commentary table. Styles asks Ellsworth if he realizes what he really is. Ellsworth is just a prop to insult him. Ambrose would be better off with a ventriloquist dummy. Styles says Ellsworth is about as smart as a dummy, but at least a dummy has a chin. Ambrose asks if Styles is really saying he lost to a dummy three times. Styles gets angry and says he knows good and well that Ellsworth never would have beat him if it wasn’t for Ambrose interfering every time. Styles is tired of being made a joke and demands respect. If Ambrose doesn’t give it to him this Sunday, he’ll beat it out of him. He’ll bounce his head off every rung of the ladder, bend steel chairs off his back, and put him through every table he can find. Styles removes his championship and faces him in the ring. Styles will beat him to the point he can’t stand anymore. When he does that, he’ll have something special for Ellsworth. Styles says all he has to do is show up. If he thinks his face is disfigured now, wait until he gets a hold of tables, ladders, and chairs. Ambrose says that he can see the last few weeks have been hard on him. Styles has all the athletic gifts, but titles are won using your mind. Ambrose says Styles is too easy to rattle. Ambrose says in five days, he’ll be going into the most dangerous match in WWE with him, and he’s worried about a mutant like Ellsworth — no offense. Styles better get his head on straight because the fun times are over this Sunday. At the end of that match, he’ll be pulling down what’s rightfully his: the WWE World Championship.
Styles shoves Ellsworth into Ambrose, who falls into a ladder. Styles then sends Ellsworth into the table. Styles goes outside the ring and sends Ambrose into the steel steps before dumping them on top of him. Ellsworth gets pumped up, but Styles simply takes him down. Styles slams a ladder off his back and sends him out of the ring. Ellsworth is propped up against the ropes upside down. The crowd chants for tables, so Styles flips it over. Styles takes a chair and slams it off Ellsworth’s back. Styles then sets up for a Styles Clash before dragging Ellsworth to the steel steps. Styles then hits Ellsworth with a Styles Clash off the steel steps to the floor! Wow! Styles celebrates before referees run down. EMTs start loading Ellsworth onto a stretcher while we go to commercial.
-Commercial Break-

Owens and Jericho make fun of the crowd because none of them have ever made history before. Owens notes that this past week was American Thanksgiving. On that day Americans stuff themselves with food. Why? Because it is their last meal before they trample each other to save $60 on a crappy flat screen TV. Owens says they should take a moment to tell everyone what they are thankful for. Owens is thankful for many things but not least of all he is thankful for his best friend Chris Jericho. Jericho also says he is thankful that Owens is his best friend. Jericho says he is also thankful for his sweet scarf and for Seth Rollins. Why? Because Rollins showed him what it looks like to be a slave to your pride. Rollins also showed what it means to be a stupid idiot.
