El Rey Network's 'Lucha Underground' Presents Johnny Mundo vs. Phoenix In “Aztec Warfare!” [WATCH]

Back from the holidays and ready to kickstart the new year, Lucha Underground returns with an all-new exciting episode on El Rey Network. From Emmy award-winning Mark Burnett (Survivor), Johnny Mundo, former WWE star John Morrison, faces off against Phoenix in 'Aztec Warfare.'

Ever since launching his own network, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For 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.

In an interview with Wrestling Inc., Lucha Underground co-executive producer Chris DeJoseph discusses his previous work in the WWE creative team from 2004 - 2010, becoming Big Dick Johnson on-camera, and working for Vince McMahon.

DeJoseph describes his love for wrestling, "My whole life I was a wrestling fan. Part of the reason I wanted to go work at WWE was my dad was trying to get me do get a job, and I told him I wanted to go work in wrestling. He looked at me like I was crazy. I always enjoyed it and it had always been a passion of mine."

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 returns Wednesday, January 7 at 8:00PM ET/PT on the El Rey Network. Readers, are you excited to see Aztec Warfare?
