According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Jake Hager (former WWE World Heavyweight champion Jack Swagger) will be pushed as one of the top stars in Lucha Underground this upcoming season. Hager is apparently going under the name Jake Strong and reportedly won the Gift of the Gods Championship at the television taping on March 17th.
The next day Pentagon Dark faced Marty the Moth for the Lucha Underground Championship in what was described as a brutal, violent, and bloody match taped for Ultima Lucha IV. Following the match, an angle was shot between Pentagon and Vampiro that left the champion laid out, leading to Jake Strong cashing in the Gift of the Gods to end the season as reigning Lucha Underground Champion.
Another *MAJOR SPOILER* is that Jeff Cobb, who wrestles under a mask as Matanza Cueto, lost a match against Johnny Mundo (aka John Morrison/Johnny Impact) where the loser was sacrificed to “the gods”. Dave Metlzer noted in the Observer Newsletter that he has been released from the remaining three years of his contract with the promotion.
