The following is a preview of the top match(es) scheduled to air each week, without the benefit of advanced Spoilers&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cage vs. Texano vs. The Mack vs. Son of Havoc \u2013 Match For A Unique Opportunity &#8211; Airing July 6 (Part 1)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This match is prototypical WrestleMania multi-man match where LU threw a bunch of guys together last-minute. On last week&#8217;s Lucha Underground, they inserted an awkward segment where Dario announced a unique opportunity for these four men so that they could wiggle their way onto the card. It\u2019s safe to assume without looking at spoilers that the winner will receive a number one contender spot of some sort.<\/p>\n<p>Cage was a much bigger player on the first year of LU and has really struggled to find his spot this year. He\u2019s been in a handful of meaningful matches including a short run with the Gift of the Gods Championship before he was\u00a0demolished by Matanza.<\/p>\n<p>Texano hasn\u2019t had anything big this year on LU &#8211; nothing comparable to the big feud he had with Alberto El Patron. He\u2019s been a good babyface this year, but has not done much of\u00a0significance. He could use a big boost to make him feel important again.<\/p>\n<p>Son of Havoc has grown a lot as a character and a babyface playing\u00a0off Ivelisse and Angelico. I think they are testing him out as a singles star, same as Ivelisse. Havoc, Ivelisse, and Angelico may remain loosely tied to each other, but after losing the trios championship, I think LU wants to see how they will\u00a0do by themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The Mack was a part of a larger program earlier in the year with Marty The Moth and Sexy Star. LU appears to be putting Mack in a better position to\u00a0elevate him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> The Mack earns the unique opportunity, which leads him to a title match or an Aztec medallion.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2283597388\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Get caught up on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LuchaUnderground?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LuchaUnderground<\/a> before a BRAND NEW EPISODE premieres TONIGHT at 8pm ET\/PT on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Elreynetwork?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ElReyNetwork<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/w7PSCh3P8A\">https:\/\/t.co\/w7PSCh3P8A<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Lucha Underground (@LuchaElRey) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LuchaElRey\/status\/750690871285198850?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 6, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cage has a message for his <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UltimaLucha?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UltimaLucha<\/a> Dos opponents!
