8 Storylines Lucha Underground Needs To Resolve In Season 4
Murder, mayhem, & masks. Plus a few unnecessary chair shots to the head. Lucha Underground is back!
This week Lucha Underground returns from a long hiatus. We don't know how the budgetary changes or cast shakeup will affect the show's production values or quality going forward, but what we do know is that it will continue to be balls-to-the-wall lunacy in all the best and worst ways. After all, that's pretty much been their bread and butter since day one.
It's a pretty safe bet that the major storylines and cliffhangers from the end of Season 3 will be resolved. The magic gauntlet, Dario's murder(?) and the desperate phone call to his father, Vampiro's new master, and the continued development of the Reptile and White Rabbit tribes are likely to be plot points going forward. But in the revamped Season 4, will old storylines and dead weight drop away to facilitate a fresh start?
Over the course of the last three seasons, a lot of storyline threads have been woven into the show's tapestry, and some of them are fraying badly. Long-term viewers deserve to see both progression and closure after three years of investment in the show, even as Lucha Underground reshapes and redefines itself.
And hopefully, LU will do right by the fans and resolve these storylines as Season 4 develops.
8. Sexy Star And The Spiders
*minor spoiler alert, if you care about Sexy Star storylines*
After her short run with the Lucha Underground championship, Sexy Star was tormented with spiders. Tucked in her locker, delivered to her in gift boxes... these monstrous arachnids were seemingly everywhere. After dispatching her long-time nemesis Taya at Ultima Lucha Tres, a vignette revealed that Sexy Star had not, in fact, vanquished whoever was sending her these spiders.
Although many viewers are less invested in Sexy Star as a babyface heroine after her attack on Rosemary at Triplemania XXV (along with her disastrous PR campaign that followed), it would be a waste if this storyline wasn't resolved. And given that the current Wikipedia listing of LU's roster features a character called Black Widow, it's likely this storyline will continue in Season 4.
