El Rey Network's 'Lucha Underground' Presents Johnny Mundo, Sexy Star In “A Unique Opportunity!” [WATCH]

Now heading towards its eighth episode, El Rey Network raises the stakes even higher before ringing in the new year with Lucha Underground. From Emmy award-winning Mark Burnett (Survivor), viewers should get ready for Johnny Mundo, former WWE star John Morrison, Prince Puma, and Big Ryck to jump into the match for "A Unique Opportunity."  

Ever since launching his own network, celebrated filmmaker Robert Rodriguez has entertained audiences with his From Dusk Till Dawn TV series. Now El Rey rides into lucha libre, the no-holds barred world of freestyle wrestling and high-flying aerial maneuvers. In Mexico's most popular sport, the masked villains and heroes confront against each other in thrilling one-on-one matches.

As we previously mentioned, Burnett takes wrestling fans backstage and gives them ringside seats, along with guest stars Danny Trejo (Machete). The masked villains and heroes tell their life stories before facing off against each other in a match. Get ready for your mind to be blown away by slingshot moves, colorful masks, and quick-moving combinations.

According to the plot synopsis, viewers should get ready for Dario Cueto to two 10-way matches, including the Boyle Heights Battle Royal. In this can't miss event, Cueto promises the victor a major prize. This will be that valuable than the $100,000 he offered in The Top of the Ladder.

On the official Twitter account, @LuchaElRey states, "It's every man & woman for themselves in #LuchaUnderground's first ever BATTLE ROYAL! Wednesday @ 8 on @ElReyNetwork!"

Check out the highlights from last week's The Top of the Ladder here:

As we previously mentioned, Matador was unfortunately cancelled and will not be returning for a second season. Let's keep watching and hope this doesn't happen to Lucha Underground as well.

Lucha Underground continues on Wednesdays, at 8:00PM ET/PT on the El Rey Network. Readers, are you excited to see A Unique Opportunity?
