UPDATED: Lucha Underground Airing For Two Hours Opposite Raw Tonight
UPDATE: El Rey has sent out a press release confirming the airing of Lucha Underground tonight opposite Raw. The episodes will not be new episodes but instead replays of a couple of the show’s more well-received episodes:
* “A Unique Opportunity” – Tonight at 8:30 pm ET
Dario Cueto sets two 10-way matches, the Boyle Heights Battle Royal. In this can’t-miss event, he promises the victor a prize that is more valuable than the $100,000 he offered when the temple was first opened.
* “Aztec Warfare” – Tonight at 9:30 pm ET
Witness the most brutal match ever as 20 luchadores face-off to become the first ever “Lucha Underground” champion and receive the coveted championship belt. Starting with just two men, the ring will be invaded every 90 seconds with a new luchadore, eliminating one-by-one until just one man stands. The only rule? Anything goes.
ORIGINAL: Lucha Underground has announced that they’re going up against tonight’s non-traditional episode of WWE Raw. As previously reported, WWE has canceled their planned arena show for Raw and is instead airing a special in-studio version at WWE headquarters due to severe weather conditions.
Lucha Underground responded by announcing that they’re airing two back-to-back episodes tonight beginning at 8:30 PM:
PROGRAM ALERT: @ElReyNetwork will now be airing TWO HOURS of #LuchaUnderground TONIGHT at 8:30pm ET! #VivaLaBlizzard pic.twitter.com/5gXbO0zuLA
