There's a dearth of credible babyfaces in LU these days. Prince Puma is gone, while Pentagon Dark stands tall as the antihero champion. Angelico was apparently murdered off-screen by Ricky Mundo, and others are either missing or mired in mid-card bickering like The Mack, Son of Havoc, and Killshot.

That leaves El Dragon Azteca, Jr. poised to be the top white meat babyface in the promotion. As such, he's claimed some solid victories, including capturing the Gift of the Gods Championship.

In a surprising twist, he ambitiously called his shot, but not for the following week. Instead, he declared that he intends to cash in the title in the main event of Ultima Lucha Cuatro for the Lucha Underground Championship.

It's a bold move that could make him a legend, if executed properly. And defending the title for the rest of the season makes for one hell of a storyline for fans of Azteca to rally around.
