It has been a banner week for the Lucha House Party. On this past episode of Raw, Gran Metalik defeated The Miz, and then, the duo emerged on NXT and defeated Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde in tag team action. After the match, Gran Metalik made it clear that he wants to face Santos Escobar for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.
Lucha House Party vs Legado Del Fantasma (Raul Mendoza & Joaquin Wilde) w/Santos Escobar
The match starts during the break before we come back to Lince in control of Wilde before Raul grabs Lince when he's upside down against the ropes. LDF double up on Lince and isolate him in the corner before hitting a high angle diving cross body before getting the hot tag to Gran. Gran hits a sling blade into a springboard dropkick for two before Raul fights out of a fireman's carry and LHP hit a frankensteiner into a diving splash for a near fall that Wolfe breaks up. Gran then sends Wilde out of the ring before Raul gets hit with a poison rana and Gran tags in and hits a walk rope, springboard elbow drop for the pin and the win.
Winner: Lucha House Party defeat Legado Del Fantasma via pinfall.
