VS.
Bad News Brown, Baron Corbin & Deam Ambrose defeated Big Ryck, Castro Cortez & Mr. Cisco by pinfall. Although Brown, Corbin and Ambrose are all on different pages, only looking out for themselves and largely dysfunctional as a trios team, they still managed to defeat one of the most cohesive trios units in Lucha Underground. It was as decisive a victory as there can be, as Brown gave Mr. Cisco the Ghetto Blaster, Corbin gave Cortez the End of Days and Ambrose gave Dirty Deeds to Big Ryck, pinning him afterwards for the victory. Brown, Corbin & Ambrose move onto the trios tournament finals.

Charlotte Flair defeated Ivelisse by pinfall. Ivelisse held the early advantage, but Flair gained control by pushing Ivelisse off the top rope all the way down to the floor. Flair went to work on Ivelisse’s legs, preparing to give her the Figure Eight, but Ivelisse was able to kick Flair backwards into the turnbuckles when she tried to apply it. Ivelisse regained control of the match and appeared to be cruising towards victory until Flair reversed a whip and managed to stay up on a sunset flip attempt. She sat down on Ivelisse, hooked a leg for the cradle pin and grabbed a hold of the ropes for added leverage. The referee missed it and awarded her the victory.

VS.
Awesome Kong defeated Lluvia by pinfall. Awesome Kong was completely dominating, barely giving Lluvia a chance to get a move in edgewise. Awesome Kong toyed with her opponent, waiting until she felt like it to end the match. After about three long minutes, Awesome Kong gave Lluvia a chokeslam and then an Awesome Splash. She put her hands on Lluvia’s shoulders for the pinfall. Afterwards, Awesome Kong dragged Lluvia out of the ring to inflict more damage on her, just like she did to Bayley (see Episode 6). However, before she could do her irreversible harm, Sexy Star came to the rescue. She hit Kong from behind, helped Lluvia to her feet and escaped up the concrete stairs. Awesome Kong gave chase as soon as she got back up.

VS.
Kurt Angle, Prince Puma & Rey Mysterio Jr. defeated Psicosis, La Parka & Shinsuke Nakamura by pinfall. This was another hot lucha libre match. Prince Puma, Mysterio, Psicosis and La Parka delivered plenty of high-flying, high-risk highlights, while Angle and Nakamura showed off their technical skills. After Prince Puma went over the top rope and took out La Parka, Nakamura and Angle by performing a topé con hilo into the pile on the floor, Psicosis attempted a Psycho Guillotine, but Mysterio moved. Then, he hit Psicosis with a dropkick, the Six-One-Nine and a West Coast Pop to get the win.
