We are in Boston, Massachusetts for MLW at the TD Gardens …. It’s standing room only tonight, and the fans are RABID as Pyro erupts from the ringposts and above the entranceway …. We get camera pans over the capacity crowd as MAURO and PAT MCAFEE billboard tonight’s show, welcoming those at home and setting up what we are going to see tonight ….


Paul Heyman leads out Roman Reigns and The Usos to the ring ….


HEYMAN – “Ladies and Gentlemen … My name … is PAUL … HEYMAN!  And if you didn’t know by now, I am a man that you can always trust to deliver.  When Donald Trump wanted the centerpiece of MLW, who did he come to?  Me!  And not only did I deliver Roman Reigns, but also the best tag team ever produced by the deepest and richest BLOODLINE this industry has ever seen.  The bloodline of the Anoa’i Family, Which may I remind you includes names like Yokozuna, Umaga, Rikishi … and even THE ROCK!  And that bloodline defines the very principles this business has always been about – Family, tradition, legacy, the responsibility and accountability. THAT is what these men represent.  Tonight it is my pleasure, no, it is my privilege to present to you … The UUUUUUUSSOOOOOOOSSS ….”




Out come Jimmy and Jey to a BIG pop and welcome from the crowd …. But Heyman isn’t done there ….

HEYMAN – “Cousins, who may as well be brothers.  From the living room to the football field to the squared circle. Now, together …. Once again WHOLE.  Honor ... Pride ... Family ... and at the Head of the Table sits this man:  a man that has taken me to island of relevancy, just like he will take the MLW roster to new heights of relevancy.  I am honored to be his ‘special counsel’, he is YOUR Triibal Chief … ROMAN … REIGNS!”




Out comes Roman Reigns to a mixed reaction …. Mostly cheers mixed with some boos …. Reigns takes the mic ….

REIGNS – “Boston, you know who I am.  Acknowledge me!”

Reigns pauses and soaks in the mixed reaction ….

REIGNS – “So Donald Trump wanted to get an up close and personal look right?  Well, EVERYONE take a good look because you are looking at the ‘FOUNDATION’ of this business.  We are ANOA’I!  We the ones!  Our family is the backbone of professional wrestling.  These are my cousins, my brothers, the best tag team in this business to ever do it!  And last week they proved when they stepped to the so-called MLW tag team champions and they didn’t want none!  Everyone has seen what we can do when we are together.  Know your history.  Just ask Jon Moxley.  Just ask Seth Rollins.  Which is why they have kept us apart for so long.  But not anymore.  Now we all feast from the same table.  But there is only one man that sits at the Head of the Table, and that is ME!  The Tribal Chief of the Anoa’i! ….”

REIGNS pauses some more to soak in the reaction ….

REIGNS – “Speaking of someone that don’t want none.  There is one little man in particular.  I mean, I don’t think anybody really believes that someone 200 pounds soaking wet with no explosive bone in their body could ever really touch someone like me.  I’m 6’3”, 265 pounds, a legitimate athlete who can throw some weight around and has been on the gridiron at the highest level. D1. All-ACC.  So, I mean, when it comes down to it, I’ll throw you and pretty much the rest of the people in your boy band out the club no problem.  Adam Cole, you say you are in control of MLW, and you might think you are.  But I promise you this: you are about to find out just how ‘NOT’ in control you really are ….”

Jimmy Uso takes the mic and calls out Redragon, telling them to give the Usos a match because that is the match that everyone wants to see …. Heyman takes the mic and says that here they are, up close and personal just like Trumps wanted …. Heyman has just served up the future of MLW to Trump on a silver platter …. Now it is up to Trump to knock it out of the park ….


IN THE BACK -

The Undisputed Era arrive led by Adam Cole … We notice that Cole’s girlfriend BRITT BAKER is also with them but it isn’t acknowledged on camera …. Cole & the gang are met by Brandon Cutler, their own personal cameraman, as they enter and he tells them about what Roman Reigns said at the top of the show …. Cole says “He said WHAT???”  Cutler shows Cole the footage on bud handheld camera … Cole is pissed now, and he Cole says that he wont allow Roman Reigns to distract him because he is that damn good … he has to face Will Ospreay at FIGHTLAND #6 and he’s going to show Roman Reigns that Adam Cole and the Undisputed Era are the ones that control MLW …. Kyle O’Reilly tells Cole not to worry because he will make sure Ospreay doesnt make it to their match …

WILL OSPREAY
VS.
KYLE O’REILLY

These two put on a heck of a show while it lasts …. Ospreay is blinding with his quickness but O’Reilly tries to offset that with his striking and submission skills …. Of course Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong are nearby, and they get involved, resulting in the DQ finish ….</p></center>

POST MATCH - Ospreay gets the win by DQ, but that’s not the story here …. The Undisputed Era are trying to take Ospreay out before his match with Adam Cole at FIGHTLAND #6 …. It’s a 3 on 1 attack when out of the back walks Adam Cole to put the finishing touches on it …. But before he can get to the ring, from the other side of the arena comes Johnny Gargano &amp; Tomasso Ciampa!  Gargano &amp; Ciampa hit the ring. surprising the UE and sending them bailing out …. Ciampa gets on the mic and says he and Johnny never got their mandatory rematch against Redragon for the tag titles …. Ciampa challenges them to a match, but they turn him down …. Instead we get an impromptu 6 man match!

WILL OSPREAY, TOMASSO CIAMPA &amp; JOHNNY GARGANO
VS.
UNDISPUTED ERA (Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly &amp; Bobby Fish)

we jumpstart with all 6 men fighting as the announcers talk about how the UE has pretty much made enemies of the entire roster …. Ciampa &amp; Gargano have been locked in a feud with the UWF world tag team champions, but now have their sights set on getting back the MLW tag titles that they held for most of 2021 …. The action goes back and forth with UE getting the heat on Gargano, but he fights from underneath and gets the hot tag to Ciampa who comes in like a psycho killer …. The action breaks down as Ciampa &amp; Gargano brawl on the floor and all the way up the ramp and into the back with Redragon …. Adam Cole slides in and superkicks Ospreay, but Austin Aries is out and takes out Cole …. Aries with the IED dropkick to Strong, followed by the brainbuster!! Ospreay finishes Strong with Stormbreaker ….</p></center>

Ospreay and Cole stare down as Cole backs away up the ramp …. Aries looks on and smiles ….


IN THE BACK -  

Charlotte cuts a promo on Raquel Gonzalez …. She knows Raquel has a bad knee, and Charlotte is going to drag her into deep waters and its sink or swim …. Charlotte promises that she will win the title tonight …. Charlotte finishes the promo and walks off, but the camera follows her as she passes by the Undisputed Era …. She looks at Adam Cole and winks as she walks by ….

BREAKING NEWS -

In between these segments we get a report from the announcers that there has been some kind of backstage altercation involving Charlotte Flair and Britt Baker, the girlfriend of Adam Cole … the two had to be separated by officials in the locker room, and Baker isn’t even a part of the MLW roster …. They are unsure how this will affect tonight’s main event ….


Up next, the MLW Openweight Champion Samoa Joe comes out to the ring …. We recap Joe beating Davey Boy Smith Jr. at FIGHTLAND #5, only to be attacked and laid out by Miro afterwards ….




JOE – “You know, I hate coming away from situations empty handed.  And that has been happening a little too much lately.  It started with Miro, but now it also includes YOU, Tetsuya Naito.  Since you seem content to never leave IWGP, I got on a plane and took a nice little trip to Japan to find you.  You were nowhere to be seen, but I did leave a little destruction in my wake.  But I came back to the United States empty handed, and like I already said: I don’t like that.  So I tell you what Naito.  Donald Trump has offered me the services of his private jet, and it’s fueled up and ready to go.  So that means that I can take as many trips to Japan as I want until I get face to face with you!  So Naito I am coming again this week, but the difference between this time and last time is now I’m annoyed!  Naito, you call yourself a word champion, so you should have just been a man about it because all I am looking for is someone that has a set of balls that wants to fight ….”

“Speaking of people with no balls …. MIRO!!!!  You seem so triggered by the fact that I called you ‘underwhelming, but you sure didn’t prove me wrong by attacking me from behind.  I’ve got one more title defense to make before I hit the ‘Lucky 7’ clause, and Miro I want that next match to be against YOU!”


On queue, Miro appears on the screen ….




MIRO – “Joe …. Joe, Joe, Joe.  What have I told you.  Why are you calling me out when the terms are dictated by ME!  You see, Joe, I am not going to just physically break you.  No, before that day comes I am going to break you mentally first.  Denial will get you hurt BAD.  If you have friends that care about you, they would tell you.  I forgive you, Joe, but now you MUST be redeemed.  And I am the redeemer!”

Joe shrugs and says since he is always the one having to go looking for a fight, he is going to go look for Miro …. Joe leaves the ring and heads for the back ….


IN THE BACK -

The camera follows Joe as he stalks through the hallways backstage looking for Miro …. Miro attacks out of nowhere as he was waiting for Joe!  We get a huge brawl all over the back, which sees Joe get the better of the fight before officials come in to break it all up ….

MLW Women’s title:
(Interim Champion) RAQUEL GONZALEZ
VS.
CHARLOTTE FLAIR

Charlotte comes out and has a small mouse under her right eye, and her makeup is a little off, evidence of her reported backstage scuffle with Britt Baker …. This is no countout and no DQ due to their first match being a double countout and then their 2nd match ending in Charlotte getting disqualified …. Gonzalez’s knee is also visibly taped as she reportedly suffered a knee injury in her last match with Charlotte ….

The action jumpy starts with a hockey fight in the middle of the ring, but Gonzalez gets the better of the exchange and dumps Charlotte …. Charlotte lures her in and unleashes chops on the floor, but Raquel no-sells them …. Raquel hits a fallaway slam into the railing and she’s in complete control …. Charlotte gets tossed over the time keepers table, but as Raquel pursues her Charlotte grabs the ring bell and smashes Raquel in the injured knee with it!!!!  Charlotte hits natural selection off the apron to the floor but it’s no countout!  Charlotte works the knee now, ripping the tape off ….

As the match continues, suddenly Britt Baker comes out of the back accompanied by Adam Cole, who is trying to stop her!!!!  CHARLOTTE SEES BAKER AT RINGSIDE AND SPITS ON HER!!!!  





Baker loses her shit and Cole is having to hold her back, but this allows Raquel to recover and she nails Charlotte with the CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!  Both women are down!  Raquel tries to rally, but her knee buckles when she goes for the Chingona Bomb.  Charlotte goes for the Figure 8, but Raquel kicks her off …. As Charlotte is kicked into the ropes, Baker hits her with a Superkick from the floor!  Cole tries to drag Baker away, but the damage has been done as Charlotte is down!  Raquel pulls herself up, slapping herself in the injured knee and willing herself to stand …. She hooks Charlotte …. CHINGONA BOMB!  1 … 2 … 3!!!! ….</p></center>

Holy shit what have we seen here???  Britt Baker and Charlotte obviously have beef because of something that happened backstage, and Baker has just come out and cost Charlotte a chance at the MLW womens title!  Raquel celebrates to end the show ….
