"The deal between Anthem and AAA may see wrestlers from Lucha Underground appear on Impact … but The Sheet has learned they’re not allowed to portray their El Rey characters.
Sources with knowledge of the situation tell us El Rey officials are very happy with LU and optimistic about making another season of the show, once all the episodes they’ve filmed have been shown.
We’re told that because so many episodes have already been filmed, the network is way ahead of production and not in a rush to officially green-light the next season yet.
As for AAA’s new partnership with Impact, our sources say it’s possible for wrestlers from Lucha Underground to appear on Pop TV … as long as they don’t infringe on any of LU/El Rey’s intellectual property — which makes sense considering the company has been fighting Pentagon Jr and Fenixover the rights to their characters.
Ricochet aka Prince Puma tweeted about LU possibly allowing their talent to appear on Impact and said, “So they can randomly do IMPACT but I can’t do ROH?? Hummm???”"

for saving me from watching any further.
Why do we have to wait 4 months to see the rest of a season that they finished months ago?
I liked how they innovated in season one but they have fizzled though real talk
This ridiculous mid-season break was a test for the true Believers.
