It appears the issues with Lucha Underground’s contracts and their roster are far from over.
The Lucha Libre promotion and the El Rey Network are coming off a class-action lawsuit from Kobra Moon, Joey Ryan, Ivelisse, and El Hijo del Fantasma, which resulted in all talents above being granted their releases.
However, it was reported yesterday that Lucha Underground threatened both Ring of Honor and NWA with a cease and desist for using Willie Mack at their shows. Mack dropped the NWA National Championship to Colt Cabana at the NWA Crockett Cup, though there’s no word on whether that influenced the title change.
Now, several more of LU’s stars are getting ready to fight back as Mantaza (Jeff Cobb in Ring of Honor), Famous B, and XO Lishus (AEW’s Sonny Kiss) are threatening the promotion with legal action in hopes that they can be released from their contracts as well.
It’s been over a year since Lucha Underground has filmed, as the promotion is likely dead in the water at this point, but nothing has been confirmed in terms of where the show stands at the moment.
