The show was filmed in a Boyle Heights warehouse called The Temple and blended traditional Lucha Libre with cinematic, supernatural storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>The limits were none, as violence, intergender wrestling, and very high-risk manoeuvres were a part of the show. Three Championships were defended: the Lucha Underground Championship, the Gift of the Gods Championship, and the Lucha Underground Trios Championship. No title was gender-related. Sexy Star won the LU and Gift of Gods Championships. Ivelisse is a former 2-time Trios Champion alongside Ang\u00e9lico and Son of Havoc.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lucha Underground 5\/20\/15: Trios Championship Ladder Match - FULL MATCH\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3_G1INQGhHE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>What Lucha Underground could be<\/h2>\n<p>Whether Lucha Underground returns as a streaming reboot, a one-off special, or a library re-release, the brand is moving for the first time since the El Rey Network shutdown.
