Is Lucha Underground coming back?
Despite not being active since 2018, the defunct wrestling promotion still maintains a cult following. The influence of the product is still felt across the wrestling space, and every so often, rumors about a potential revival for the product pick up steam again.
So it wasn’t a surprise that fans got excited about the prospect of the company’s future when the official LU Twitter account posted a teaser last week after being inactive for over half a decade. The promotion’s official website was then updated to suggest that the brand will start running events again soon.
Fightful Select recently provided an update on these teases. They noted that MGM and Amazon have the controlling interest in Lucha Underground. The tech giant seems to be happy letting the Lucha Underground library float around, and there hasn’t been any interest in selling the library despite past inquiries.
As for the recent teases, the site is reporting that the brand will actually be launching a new YouTube channel soon, and the recent posts are aimed at generating buzz for it.
Though the report did not provide any update on LU becoming a touring brand again. We’ll have to see if it means the company will be producing new content for the YouTube channel or just using old footage to sell tickets for non-televised shows.
