Ultimo Dragon defeated Chris Jericho by pinfall to secure a title match against Cesaro for the Lucha Underground Championship. Jericho petitioned Dario Cueto for a Lucha Underground Championship title match and also wanted to get revenge on Ultimo Dragon for his actions in the Trios Championship tournament (see Episode 10), but found out that Ultimo Dragon was not as easy to beat as he thought he would be. Jericho attempted to use a chair to help him out, but Ultimo Dragon drove the chair back into his face with a jumping back kick and then gave him the Asai DDT to earn the win

Tyler Breeze defeated Argenis by pinfall. Argenis was in the driver’s seat after executing a handspring slingshot cutter on Breeze. It looked like Argenis might have been in line for the win, but Breeze’s aggression came to the surface and he took over control of the match with a snap bridging German suplex. After that, Breeze punched and kicked Shark Boy all over the ring until he gave him the Beauty Shot and pinned him for the win.

We go into the Lucha Underground locker room where we see Charlotte Flair grabbing some items from a locker. When she shuts the door, suddenly we see Ivelisse, who comments on how Flair beat her during their recent one-on-one match (see Episode 11). Flair says that she shouldn’t be surprised, after all she’s this generation’s dirtiest player in the game. Ivelisse challenges Flair to a rematch because she thinks Flair can’t beat her twice. Flair says she’s not interested and leaves as Ivelisse looks on.

Pentagon Jr. defeated Aerostar by pinfall. There was plenty of high flying throughout this match. At the end of the match, Aerostar attempted a springboard senton bomb, but Pentagon Jr. put his knees up. Then, he grabbed Aerostar and gave him the Pentagon Driver. After pinning him, Pentagon announced that he was going to make a sacrifice to his master. However, before he could do it, “Darewolf” PJ Black ran into the ring with a steel chair to make Pentagon bow out of the ring. However, it was a swerve because as soon as Aerostar got to his feet, Black hit him with the chair and then sat on him and punched him over and over again. Then, he told Pentagon to do his business and left. Pentagon came back into the ring and snapped Aerostar’s arm.

VS.
Samoa Joe defeated Batista by referee’s decision. This match was full of high impact maneuvers. It went back and forth until Batista went for a lariat, but got dumped over the top rope with a back body drop instead. Then, Samoa Joe hit him with a suicide dive. Upon getting up, Sensational Sherri jumped on his back and tried to choke him out from behind, but Joe was able to toss her off his back. After that, Batista tackled him into the ring apron and took control. Batista took control, but when he went for the spear, Samoa Joe moved and Batista hit the turnbuckles. Joe immediately locked him into the Coquina Clutch. Batista did not submit, but he eventually lost consciousness, so the referee awarded the bout to Samoa Joe.
