– The show kicks off with a recap of Alberto El Patron’s debut on the program last week. El Patron is in Cueto’s office and asks what his key opens. Cueto won’t answer him. AEP makes a request to have an open mic.

Fenix vs. Argenis

Argenis hits a big knee and a flip to the outside, but Fenix lands a big enziguri to knock him off the top rope and lands his signature inside springboard flip.

Argenis fighs back with a headscissors and a reverse powerbomb, but Fenix gets back into it with chops and a flipping armdrag. Catrina shows up and walks down the stairs.

Argenis knocks Fenix off the top rope and hits a beautiful Frankensteiner that gets two. Fenix does a flip to the outside as Vampiro says he’s turned on. Fenix finishes the match with an awesome looking belly to belly piledriver.

Winner: Fenix via pinfall (belly-to-belly piledriver)

After the match, Catrina gives the lick of death to Argenis.

– Catrina and Mil Muertes are backstage, and Muertes lifts her up by her throat. He runs into Chavo, and tosses him around. He tells Chavo that he has a debt to pay next week.

– Big Ryck is shown in the shadows and vows revenge on the Crew.

Son Of Havoc (w/ Ivelisse) vs. Johnny Mundo

Havoc hasn’t had an easy go of it during his Lucha Underground run, and that continues as he’s stomped in the nuts by Mundo. Havoc battles back with a chop but quickly gets dropkicked and chased to the outside by a Mundo dive.

Havoc knocks Mundo down and hits an impressive flagpole elbow drop. Havoc goes to work on Mundo, concentrating on his neck. Mundo goes for an alley-oop bomb, but Havoc lands on his feet and clocks Mundo.

Mundo drills Havoc with a clothesline for two as the crowd starts to go nuts. Mundo then hits his running knee, but gets kicked by Havoc, who follows up with a flying double stomp and a standing moonsault. Havoc’s bad luck continues as he only gets two.

A Havoc pump kick and back elbow set up a standing star press for two. Havoc goes up top desperately and Mundo misses a Frankensteiner. Catrina is pleading for Havoc to jump, but he waits too long and eats knees on a shooting star press. Starship Pain, fin.

Winner: Johnny Mundo via pinfall (Starship Pain)

King Cuerno attacks Mundo after the match and lays him out.

Ricky Mandel vs. Pentagon Jr.

Penatgon starts out by killing Mandel with a kick, and one of the loudest chops of all-time. Mandel comes back with a dropkick, but gets racked into the corner by Pentagon.

Penatgon applies a sick armbar and looks like he breaks Mandel’s arm as the crowd loves it.

Winner: Pentagon Jr via submission (armbar)

Doctors come out to help Mandel. The crowd doesn’t care, they love Pentagon.

– Alberto El Patron is a here and gets a monstrous reaction, maybe even bigger than his ROH debut. He says he’s happy to be in Lucha Underground. He says he comes from a Lucha Libre family and that’s how he made his name.

El Texano Jr debuts and attacks El Patron. He lost the AAA World Championship to Patron a few months ago. We go off the air with Texano standing tall.

Rumors On Backstage Fallout From The Seth Rollins Nude Photo Controversy, WWE Responds

It was reported on Tuesday morning that there was apparently no heat coming down on Seth Rollins after the nude photo leaks as WWE officials really believed that his social media accounts were hacked.

Reddit’s MetsFan4Ever, who has broke some WWE stories in the past, reports that there’s talk of Rollins being fined a small amount of money because of the feeling that while it was likely a mistake on his part, he originally leaked the first photo.

Triple H was reportedly against the idea of fining Rollins in any way, but Vince McMahon felt someone needs to be held responsible and because he can’t punish any of the women involved, it had to be Rollins. Some within WWE have been expecting Rollins to hold his Money In the Bank briefcase until June, then cash it in to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion but some believe now that he won’t be champion any time soon, according to this new report.

It’s been noted how the Rollins debacle got a lot of mainstream media coverage on Tuesday. WWE officials were said to be specifically upset about Elvis Duran talking about it for 15 minutes on his morning radio show, which is syndicated nationally and is one of the most-listened to shows in New York City.

We noted on Tuesday that WWE officials sent out a memo to all talents after RAW, telling them not to talk about the Rollins situation publicly. MetsFan adds that short meetings were held at the SmackDown tapings in Dayton last night and at company headquarters in Stamford on Tuesday to reinforce proper social media etiquette. Talents were reportedly told to immediately remove any photos from their phones that would be considered risky.

A WWE representative said the report of Rollins possibly being issued a fine and the social media meetings being held is untrue.

– The Seth Rollins leaked nude photo controversy has been getting lots of media attention, including articles on Time, The Mirror, E! Online, MTV.com, and Hollywood Life, amongst many others.

– Leighla Schultz’s Facebook status, who was Seth Rollins’ fiancee, now reads “Single.”

– Zahra Schreiber has made her Instagram page private since the controversy broke out earlier this week. Heavy.com reports that Schreiber was – and may still be – engaged to Chad Ruhlig, the lead singer of metalcore band, “For the Fallen Dreams.” You can check out a photo of Schreiber and Ruhlig below from Schreiber’s Facebook page:

Chyna Claims Triple H Assaulted Her Years Ago, Triple H Responds With Statement

During her new interview with Vince Russo on his PyroandBallyhoo.com website, Chyna talked about Triple H having an affair with Stephanie McMahon while they were together and claims she was assaulted. Thanks to CagesideSeats.com for the transcript:

“So I think Hunter’s plan was to get me to leave the relationship first and then that way he can start dating Stephanie and like everything would be cool. So I would ask Hunter time and time again, I figured it was better just to address the problem and ask him honestly and I would have to believe his answer, so we got into a heated argument, we were not getting along, I told him ‘I know something’s going on. Don’t tell me something’s not going on.’ He swiped my hand, I swiped his hand, he hit me. I went back like Jerry Springer and then I was like OK that’s the deal breaker for me, the relationship is now over, so now I have to leave.

“After that, I know that he was crying and I know that he felt bad that he hit me, and my first initial reaction was to get up, and like I don’t know, I was just in shock and it felt like a Jerry Springer moment, it was very surreal, and I just couldn’t believe that he hit me. But he knows that like I don’t stand for physical violence, albeit we’ll get to that after with Sean [Waltman], so I knew at that point I had to leave, but I needed some sort of closure so when he was gone I started looking all over the house, and I looked into his, long story short, I looked into his briefcase and I found a love letter from Stephanie that had [been] dated a year back, so the whole time they were doing the storyline basically they were together.”

Triple H issued a statement in response to the allegations:

“The false statements and reckless allegations made by Joan Laurer (aka Chyna) on a recent podcast about a physical dispute are a complete fabrication. While Joan has had significant struggles in life, this does not justify making such claims.”

– Darren Young tweeted the following today about WWE running live events in Abu Dhabi this week, where homosexuality is a crime.

Why do we bring the best entertainment into a country like abu dhabi and they look down upon women and gays? I get it! #MillionsofDollars
— nodaysoff D-Young (@DarrenYoungWWE) February 10, 2015

My freedom of speech is gone. Gone but not forgotten.

I feel like no none has my back and it upsets me. The struggle is real. I’m human.
— nodaysoff D-Young (@DarrenYoungWWE) February 11, 2015

He also re-tweeted this fan comment taking a shot at WWE:

“@DarrenYoungWWE: My freedom of speech is gone. Gone but not forgotten.” Makes those MLK & Veteran montages WWE plays a bit laughable. #NOH8

“@DarrenYoungWWE: I feel like no none has my back and it upsets me. The struggle is real. I’m human.” You’ve got people in your corner
— Lance Storm (@LanceStorm) February 11, 2015

WWE then responded with the following statement:

Fred Rosser Statement

“WWE does not discriminate against individuals regardless of age, race, religion or sexual orientation, and we continue to proudly support Fred Rosser (aka WWE Superstar Darren Young) for being open about his sexuality.

“Unfortunately, WWE cannot change cultures and laws around the world, and thus we did not send Fred Rosser to the United Arab Emirates for our upcoming events for his own protection.

“WWE also fully supports Fred Rosser’s right to express his views on personal social media accounts rather than WWE’s corporate platforms.”

Credit to Sean Ross Sapp for the recap.

* Triple H starts by talking about the Seth Rollins nude photo leak, calling it the “Colby Lopez situation.” He calls it an “unfortunate personal incident.”

* He puts over Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy, and how they channeled promise into success. He says they’re a very exciting team.

* Triple H talks about Finn Balor and Adrian Neville, calling them the “poster boys of the future of NXT.” He also talks about NXT touring in Ohio during the Arnold Classic. He hopes to do that more in the future, saying he’d like NXT to be a full touring brand by 2016.

* Triple H is asked if Vince McMahon wanting an NXT guy in the middle of a feud could cause problems, but says he hopes it happens because it means the NXT angles are effective.

* HHH doesn’t like the idea of doing NXT Title matches on WWE TV or PPV, as he thinks it would ruin some of the charm of the NXT brand.

* When asked about how WWE Divas are used as opposed to the NXT women wrestlers, Triple H says that WWE has a much different audience than NXT, and they look at female competitors differently.

* Triple H is asked about how Hideo Itami is handling the move to Florida. He says it’s a rough transition, and he’s still waiting for the light bulb to go off with Itami.

* Kevin Owens is given a ton of credit. Triple H told him to just do what he does, because he already knows how to. He said they’re more about teaching what it takes to sell out stadiums.

* Triple H says the morale in NXT is really high. He hopes that seeing the NXT guys selling merchandise lights a fire under main roster talents to get better.

* Triple H is asked about Zayn and Owens’ rivalry prior to their NXT run. “I don’t want to overly get into it, but I dont pretend it didn’t happen. Amazing 12 year story between these guys,” he says. He also assures callers they aren’t ignoring the past, but they aren’t dwelling on it either.

* Ronda Rousey’s quick ascension is compared to WWE Divas. Triple H says he hopes that women become a hit overnight on WWE programming, but it isn’t likely.

* Triple H says Chad Gable and Solomon Crowe will be on TV shortly, and they have “about 65-70 people” in NXT.

* Triple H says they’re “making transitions” with Alex Riley, and he’s expressed different interests in them. He seems optimistic that Riley will have “cool” things happening.

* Bill Apter asks about Vince McMahon’s feelings about NXT. Triple H says that Vince hasn’t watched it with him, and usually has it on while he’s working. He says that Vince is proud, though.

* Triple H singles out William Regal as the preeminent guy when as it pertains to scouting out independent wrestlers.

Triple H closes the conference call by marveling about Bill Apter’s physique, after Apter puts over Triple H’s workout DVD.
