(Editor's Note: FIGHTLAND is designed to be MLW’s secondary show to fill in some of the gaps of MLW’s main show as well as feature people and storylines that don’t make it on the main show ….)

MLW Fightland #7 3ece1915-ccea-c7fd-f9aa-ea19d497c3e9

We see Johnny Gargano & Tomasso Ciampa sitting on the apron of the ring together. The arena is empty:

MLW Fightland #7 05a2d669-0591-4702-a32e-5c6f8b364ace_750x422

FROM RWA #261 –

“CANDICE LOCKS IN THE GARGANO ESCAPE!!!! Mickie is in trouble! Storm comes in and breaks it up with a boot. Gargano comes in and tackles Storm through the ropes and they fight around ringside. Candice hits a Quebrada for two. Outside, we see Storm kick Johnny in the groin! In the ring, Candice sends Mickie into the ropes. Candice doesn’t see Mickie tag Grimes in. LaRae hits a huge Spear. She jumps and positions Mickie for the Wicked Step Sister …. CAVE IN FROM GRIMES ON CANDICE!!! As Cameron covers, Storm pulls Ciampa off the apron to keep him from breaking the pin. Grimes gets the cheap three count to give SFH the win.”

We go backstage to Johnny and Ciampa …. Southern Fried Homicide got the best of them in RWA. They busted Ciampa open, and they put their hands on Candice …. but that only only proves how desperate they are …. They are on the ‘Road to Wrestlemania’, and that road ends with them and Southern Fried Homicide one more time, one LAST time, for the UWF World tag team titles. Ciampa says that they have proven that they are better than SFH, but SFH has the belts. Until he and Johnny have the belts, they can’t say they are the best. Johnny says no one saw this team coming, and at Wrestlemania the world will have no choice but to see them.

BUT, that is at Wrestlemania. At MLW #47, Ciampa & Gargano def. Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus to earn a shot at Redragon, and tonight they have their chance to get back the MLW tag team titles …. Johnny asks Ciampa if he can go, and Ciampa says Johnny doesn’t even need to ask. Ciampa pulls off the bandage on his head and starts punching himself in his stitches, opening them up and making himself bleed …. Ciampa says he's always ready, and he walks off ….

We go ringside to the FIGHTLAND commentary team of JOE ROGAN, DANIEL CORMIER and JON ANIK …. We are coming off the highest rated episode of FIGHTLAND ever, and the crowning of a new MLW champion …. They hype up tonight’s show as we go to the ring ….

MLW Fightland #7 1352764177.0

We start out tonight’s show as the music of Roman Reigns hits and he comes out with Paul Heyman ….

REIGNS – “I told you, I’m a man of my word. And now I have a question for Adam Cole. Do you still feel like you are in control? It was simple really, all I did was show Adam Cole who is REALLY in control. But Cole should be thanking me, because ever since I showed up I have brought him to the ‘Island of Relevancy’. And I’m not even under an MLW contract yet! So now it’s time for you, and for all these people, to ACKNOWLEDGE ME!”

Reigns is showered with a mixed reaction from the crowd, but Donald Trump is here! Trump is out and he has a contract, and he wants Reigns to sign it! Trumps says that his lawyers and Paul Heyman have made sure everything is in order. Reigns looks at the contract and hands it back to Trump ….

REIGNS – “Nah, there is a mistake. This was the price LAST WEEK. We are in a totally different world than we were 7 days ago. Hell, Roman Reigns stock goes up by the minute! So you need to go back and write me up a better contract.”

This surprises both Heyman and Trump. Trump whispers to Reigns, but BRONSON REED IS HERE!!!! What the hell???? Reed enters the ring and is not intimidated, and he gets nose to nose with Reigns! REED FIRES OFF A STIFF HEADBUTT TO REIGNS! Heyman has a look of complete shock on his face as Reed turns and faces the hard camera …. BUT REIGNS RISES UP BEHIND HIM! REIGNS IS BUSTED OPEN FROM THE HEADBUTT! Reigns with a superman punch to Reed! Reed rolls to the floor and Reigns pursues him, but runs into a urinage from Reed on the floor …. Reed with a back senton on the floor! Reed tosses Reigns back into the ring and hits another senton! Then another! Reed isn’t done there, and he goes up top and hits the Tsunami …. THEN GOES UP AND HITS A 2nd TSUNAMI!!!! Reed smiles and picks up the contract Trump just offered Reigns, and he rips it up! Reed leaves as officials tend to Reigns, with Heyman yelling at Trump asking how he could let this happen??? Reigns pushes the trainers away that were checking on him, and he leaves under his own power but you can see blood coming from his mouth as indicates possible internal bleeding due to the attack ….

<center>IN THE BACK –

We are still trying to catch our breath after the opening segment, but Charly Caruso is backstage and tries to get a word with Adam Cole about the attack on Roman Reigns …. Cole says he had nothing to do with it and he doesn’t like Charly accusing him ….

Britt Baker is shown in the background, but she cuts in and interrupts Charly …. What Charly should be talking about is Charlotte Flair …. Baker talks shit about how Charlotte is a spoiled bitch that is entitled because of who her daddy is. But that doesn’t excuse her unprofessional behavior a couple of weeks ago. Baker is the opposite of Charlotte because she has worked for everything she has, including getting her MD in dentistry while also becoming one of the hottest women wrestlers in the UWF …. And as far as Raquel Gonzalez name-dropping her last week, she tells Raquel that she needs to keep the DMD’s name out of her mouth, because you are looking at the newest member of the MLW Women’s division, Dr. Britt Baker … D … M … D! …. </center>

WOMEN’S GAUNTLET MATCH
Jordynne Grace vs. Dakota Kai vs. Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans vs. Xia Li

This one starts us off hot, with KAI and BECKY LYNCH getting us started …. These two have a great back and forth for 8 minutes until Becky catches Dakota in the Disarm-HER and forces her to tap out …. DAKOTA KAI IS ELIMINATED …. #3 is Jordynne Grace …. Grace tosses Becky around, but Becky avoids a charge by Grace and she collides with the steps …. From here Becky targets the arm, limiting Grace’s power …. Grace attempts a Fall from Grace out of the corner, but only has one arm and Becky gets the knees up …. Disarm-HER is countered and Grace dead-lifts her into a sitout powerbomb for a close 2! Grace goes for the Grace Driver but the arm gives out, allowing Becky to roll Grace up and use the ropes for extra leverage to get the 3 count!
…. JORDYNNE GRACE IS ELIMINATED …. Now it is time for LACEY EVANS to come out at #4 …. These two start by shoving each other a bit, before it breaks down into a hockey fight ….. They fight outside and back in, ending with Becky hitting a super-plex and both women are down …. Evans elbows out of the Manhandle Slam, but runs right into the Woman’s Right! Becky falls through the ropes to the floor, preventing Evans from being able to pin her! Lacey has to pick up Becky, who is dead weight, and roll her back into the ring, but this allows Becky to recover and she cradles Evans with her feet on the ropes for extra leverage! This time the ref catches Becky, and while she argues with the ref that allows Evans to roll Becky up from behind for the quick 3 count! BECKY LYNCH IS ELIMINATED!

Becky can’t believe it and she loses her shit on Lacey and attacks her! Becky beats the shit out of Lacey, including getting a chair and smashing it across Lacey’s back multiple times! Refs finally pull Becky off of her and make her leave, but the damage has been done and Lacey is ripe for the picking as the final entrant comes in …. XIA LI is #5 …. Li slowly walks out to the ring as Lacey tries to pull herself together …. Li gets in the ring and immediately hammers Lacey with strikes …. The fans rally Evans and she fires up with the slingshot elbow …. Evans goes for the triple jump moonsault, but Xia gets her knees up to stop all that …. Trouble in Paradise rocks Evans, and Xia grabs both hands and drills Evans with the Kamigoye and that’s it for Lacey …. Xia pins her to win the gauntlet match ….. loses her shit at this moment and attacks Evans

Xia Li poses with Boa and Mei Ying after the match, making the motion around her waist that she is coming for the MLW women’s title …. It’s Raquel Gonzalez vs. Xia Li for the title at MLW #50

MLW Fightland #7 Xia-Li-1024x576

<center>VIDEO FOOTAGE –

Tomasso Ciampa is getting something out of his rental car when we hear someone whistling. The camera pans to show Southern Fried Homicide is here! Ciampa is outnumbered, and James Storm says that Trump didn’t pay them to be here this time, this one is on the house …. Ciampa isn’t gonna wait and he starts throwing hands but it’s 3 on 1 …. Here come Johnny and Candice! Wild brawling ensues, but its Storm & Grimes that get the better of it …. GRIMES GIVES CIAMPA THE CAVE IN THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD OF THE RENTAL CAR!!!! Mickie locks Candice in the Gargano Escape as she has to watch Storm & Grimes beat the shit out of Gargano and leave him laying ….</center>

Joe Rogan says that, due to the attack we just witnessed, Ciampa & Gargano have been pulled from the MLW tag team title match. We will still have a tag title match in the main event, but the match will go to Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus even though they lost last week ….

SOLO SIKOA vs. HOOK

These guys are out to prove something and tear into each other …. The action goes back and forth as Hook tosses Sikoa around with an arsenal of suplexes …. Sikoa comes back with strikes and hits a Samoan Drop on the apron to do a lot of damage …. Sikoa breaks out the Fire Thunder Driver, but Hook stands right up and no sells it! Hook hits the El Camino followed by the head & arm hook-plex! Hook goes to lock in Redrum (Taz-mission), but Sikoa fights free and lands a superkick! Hook falls to the floor, and Sikoa is out with him and lays him out on a table on the floor! Sikoa up top, but Hook rolls out of the way and Sikoa crashes through the table as he goes for the Superfly Splash! Sikoa is hurt, and Hook lays in the cross-face shots on the floor! He throws him back in and hits the Angry Man’s clothesline, then even more cross-faces! RIGHT BACK INTO REDRUM AGAIN! Sikoa fades, but rallies one final time and kicks off the top rope and rolls it into a pinning combo, but Hook rolls out at 2.9999 and he keeps the Redrum locked on! Sikoa fades, and he doesn’t tap but the ref calls for the bell and this one is over! HUGE win for Hook! ….

<center>VIGNETTE –

We get a vignette for JADE CARGILL …. Jade just stands there fleing, while her attorney ‘Smart’ Mark Sterling reads a prepared statement talking about how Jade is a physical specimen and is going to be the next big star in MLW …. Not only that, he has ‘Jade’s monetization plan’ that will make her a star across all media …. Basically, this is just Sterling putting over that Jade is coming to MLW, but Jade takes the mic at the very end and says the entire MLW locker room is gonna find out that Jade is ‘THAT bitch’ ….</center>

MLW TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH:
(Champions) REDRAGON (Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish) vs. A BOY & HIS DINOSAUR (Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus)

Jungle Boy and O’Reilly work to start this one out, with Jungle Boy out-quicking Kyle and hitting a dropkick …. Luchasauraus comes in and lays in an overhand chop, but both Fish and O’Reilly team up to get Luchasaurus off balance with a barrage of strikes …. Jungle Boy tags back in and takes Fish out with a huricanrana and then a rolling senton to O’Reilly …. Jungle Boy gets tripped up by Fish into an ax & smash from O’Reilly and just like that the champions have the advantage …. Redragon are like a machine here, working over Jungle Boy and keeping him away from Luchasaurus …. Jungle Boy starts fighting back with chops and then the double clothesline spot with him and Kyle …. Jungle Boy crawls, but Kyle grabs his foot only for Jungle Boy to hit an enziguri and then make the hot tag to Luchasauraus! The dinosaur runs wild, then goes for a double chokeslam on Redragon but they escacpe but kicking him in the knee …. Jungle Boy back in and takes out Kyle, then Luchasauraus chokeslams Fish and immediately hits a standing moonsault! 1 … 2 … Jungle Boy keeps Kyle from getting to the pin, but Kyle tackles Jungle Boy into the pile, breaking it up anyway! Jungle Boy escapes the ‘2 man smash machine’, BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO NO MANS LAND! 1 … 2 … Luchasauraus breaks up the pin!

They set Jungle Boy up for Chasing the Dragon, BUT THE USOS ARE HERE!!!! Double Superkick to Fish! O'Reilly takes his eye off Jungle Boy, AND GETS HIT WITH A POISON RANA! O’Reilly is out, and Fish is still down in the ring …. Jungle Boy goes up top .... JUNGLE FEVER (Rocket Launcher Frog Splash)!!!! 1 … 2 … 3!!!! NEW CHAMPS!!!! ….

FROM IWGP: Road to Wrestlemania

20-Minute Time Limit
The Road To WrestleMania Tomohi12 vs The Road To WrestleMania Samoa-10
Tomohiro Ishii vs Samoa Joe
Joe enters first, and asks for the mic.

Samoa Joe"Naaaaito, I don't know how you did it. I've been chasing you back and forth from Japan to the United States and back to Japan. Just when I think that I'll finally catch you at WrestleMania, you find a way to defend your title against someone else. In the beginning, it was all about the Intercontinental Championship. Now, it's personal. I don't care if you win or lose at WrestleMania, I'm still coming after you!"

Joe throws down the mic and watches as Tomohiro Ishii makes his entrance
Ishii rolls in and immediately squares up to Joe in the center of the ring.
Both wrestlers jaw back and forth, and then Joe pints to the ropes. Ishii runs, hits the ropes and delivers a shoulder tackle that barely moves Joe
Now Ishii points at the ropes. Joe hits them, rebounds off and knocks over Ishii with a shoulder tackle of his own. Ishii quickly pops back up while Joe smiles.
Joe points at the ropes again. Ishii hits them, rebounds and hits Joe with a Lariat that stuns him. Ishii quickly hits the ropes again and this time levels Joe with a Lariat, bt Joe quickly pops back up. Both me bump chests and then let the forearms fly. They battle all over the ring, then onto the arena floor. They battle through the crowd, towards the back of the arena, with the referee in tow. They then continue to battle back through the crowd and into the ring. Once back in the ring, both men appear exhausted. Ishii delivers a chop, and then goes for an Enzuigiri. Joe sidesteps it, turns and walks towards the ropes as Ishii crashes to the mat. Joe leans against the ropes and washes as Ishii slowly gets up. Ishii looks at Joe and then charges at him, only to be caught with Scoop Powerslam. With Ishii sprawled out on the mat, Joe makes the cover.

Winner: Samoa Joe by pinfall
Time: 17:18

Both wrestlers lay on the mat as medical personnel check on them for a couple minutes. Ishii gets to his feet first. Joe pushes everyone away and also gets back to his feet. Both men slowly walk to the center of the ring and stare at each other for several seconds. Samoa Joe then extends his hand. Ishii stares at him, and then shakes his hand.

Last Woman Standing: Deonna Purazzo vs. Alexa Bliss

This crowd is split over who to cheer for ... Even commentary has a hard time trying to sell who the heel is here ... as shown in the recap, this feud has gone on since July of 2021 and comes to a head on the biggest stage of the year ... Bliss has a more arrogant demeanor here, mocking Deonna for getting her face crushed back at GLORY ... Purazzo has been out of action since then ... Meanwhile, Purazzo shows a darker side of her personality and is more unhinged and intent
on destroying Bliss ... The bell rings and Purazzo immediately goes after Bliss but she tries to run away ... Purazzo chases her outside the ring, but Bliss lures her in and gets a cheap shot ...Bliss whips Deonna into the steps and then demands the ref count ... Purazzo of course is up quickly ... Deonna is tired of this shit and fires back on Bliss on the floor, then grabs a chair ... she smashes Bliss across the back ... HARD! Shit just got serious ... Bliss yells in pain, and she doesn't want to get hit again so she is willing to lay on the mat and let the ref count her out! Deonna says no way and
pulls Bliss up, breaking the count, just so she can hit her again with the chair! Bliss doesn't want anymore and tells the ref to count her out, but this time when Deonna picks her up Bliss drills her with a hard right hand right to the surgically repaired face! Now Bliss has the chair and smashes Purazzo with it! Bliss goes under the ring and starts pulling stuff out and throwing it in the ring ... Deonna rolls out the other side and does the same thing, and she tosses like 6 chairs into the ring ... Deonna pulls out a table and the crowd loves it! Bliss attacks her but Deonna cuts her off with an snap suplex on the floor! Back in the ring Bliss begs
off, but then gets a cheap shot in and DDT's Deonna on the pile of chairs! The camera focuses on Deonna's face and we see she is bleeding! Bliss hammers the cut, further opening it and the ref with the rubber gloves steps in to checks it to see if she can continue ... the crowd boos, but Bliss is standing there screaming at Purazzo! Deonna is on her knees and she shoves the ref away THEN SPITS RIGHT IN BLISS' FACE!!! Bliss has a disgusted look on her face, and she raises the chair to smash Deonna but Purazzo explodes with a bicycle kick to the face of Bliss! Deonna brings another table into the ring only for Bliss to cut her off with a kick and then she bodyslams her on the pile of chairs! ... Bliss lays a chair on Deonna chest and hits Insult to Injury using the chair! The ref counts, but Purazzo makes it to her feet at the count of 8 ... Bliss sets up the table and lays Deonna on it before going up top for Twisted Bliss ... but Purazzo is up and throws a chair in Bliss' face!!!! Purazzo climbs up ... SUPER-PLEX THROUGH THE TABLE!!! Holy Shit!!!! Both women are down and the ref starts counting, but both women are up at 9! They stand toe to toe, taking turns slapping the shit out of each other!!!! Bliss goes for the 'Bliss-memberment' sister Abigail into DDT, but Deonna reverses out and takes her down in Venus De Milo!!!! Bliss is tapping but it doesn't matter here!!!! Deonna lets go and Bliss rolls to the apron to try to escape, but Deonna follows ... Deonna and Bliss battle on the apron, hang- ing precariously above the table on the floor Deonna had set up earlier ... Bliss goes for Bliss-memberment on the apron, but Deonna punches her way free and then rocks Bliss with a superkick! Bliss is teetering on the apron, but Deonna grabs her by the hair and gets right in her face, whispering something to Bliss BEFORE HITTING THE COSA NOSTRA cradle piledriver OFF THE APRON THROUGH THE TABLE!!!! HOLY SHIT! Bliss is done! Deonna is down too, but the ref starts counting and Purazzo uses the ring apron to pull herself to her feet at 7. He keeps counting ... 8 ... 9 ... 10!

Southern Fried Homicide (James Storm & Cameron Grimes) -vs- Johnny Gargano & Tomasso Ciampa

Their match at GLORY was an instant classic, and this one lives up to expectations on the biggest stage of the year .... The challengers approach this match in a very calm manner despite everything that has gone on, and we get some crisp tag work early on .... Ciampa & Gargano get the better of the champions early on, hitting a double dropkick on Storm and then on Grimes, sending them to the floor to regroup…... When they come back in the match devolves into a hockey fight with all four men standing in the middle of the ring and throwing crazy fists! The challengers still have the advantage until Storm goes to the eyes on Ciampa ... Storm and Grimes then tag in and out and take turns body-slamming Ciampa 10+ times .... Ciampa fights out and tags in Johnny, who runs wild .... Johnny with a bulldog out of the corner to Grimes while clotheslining Storm at the same time! Storm backdrops Johnny to the apron, but as he lands on the outside Gargano takes out Grimes with a super- kick from the apron to the floor! Johnny sets up for the slingshot spear, but Mickie James comes in and grabs his foot .... This brings Candice over, and she spears Mickie, but this allows Storm to hit the Last Call (Superkick) that knocks Johnny off the
apron and sends him flying all the way into the railing! Candice immediately goes to check on Johnny, but she takes her eye off Mickie, allowing her to grab her and throw her into the ring steps! Candice hits her head and is down! Officials are over tending to Candice, but now it's time for Storm & Grimes to isolate Johnny on their side of the ring ..... Southern Fried Homicide brings out the heel tactics, tying up the refs attention and allowing Mickie to get in some cheap shots .... Johnny is great as the babyface fighting from underneath here, and he
makes it to the corner for the tag but this time Storm comes over and pulls on Ciampa's off the apron preventing the tag! .... Perfect tag team wrestling. Ciampa has had enough and comes in to jump on SFH, but the ref stops him which allows more double-teaming behind the refs back .... Johnny battles back, scoring with a tornado DDT on Grimes while hitting an enziguri on Storm out of mid-air at the same time! Johnny crawls and FINALLY makes the hot tag!!!! Ciampa runs wild with strikes and clotheslines, then he gets both men in the corners and then runs back and forth hitting corner knee strikes on both guys .... He goes for Project Ciampa on Grimes, but Storm breaks it up with a backstabber! Ciampa and Storm end up toe to toe and trade forearms until Ciampa just starts unloaded with the slaps ending with a bicycle knee strike right into a superkick from
Gargano! Project Ciampa!!!! 1 ... 2 ... 2.9999999!!!! Storm kicks out.!!! At ringside, Mickie grabs one of the UWF tag title belts and slides it in the ring to Storm .... Of course the ref grabs that one, but it's just a distraction as Mickie has the other one and tosses it to Grimes, who is down in the corner.... Ciampa pulls the knee pad down and goes for the knee of woe to Grimes, but Grimes smashes him in the knee with the tag team title belt to block it!!!! Ciampa is selling the knee, and Grimes gets a reverse figure four as the crowd desperately wants Ciampa to stay alive! Johnny tries to come in and break it up, but Storm stops him and Ciampa has nowhere to go!!!! It looks like Ciampa is going to tap as he raises his hand up, but instead at the last second he uses that hand to lunge and grabs the ropes!!! .... The champs are getting desperate now as Mickie is up on the apron shouting instructions, BUT LERAE IS BACK UP AND YANKS MICKIE OFF THE APRON AND WHIPS HER INTO THE RAILING! Candice is unloading with right hands, but Storm comes over and grabs Candice by the hair and pulls her off Mickie! BUT GARGANO FLIES OUT OF NOWHERE AND TAKES OUT STORM WITH A DIVE! Johnny slides back into the ring and is going to dive out again, but Grimes cuts him off with the Cave In! 1 ... 2 ... TTTTTHHHHRRRRR ... NO0000! Candice reaches in and puts Johnny's leg on the bottom rope just as the refs hand hits the mat! Just like what Mickie did at GLORY! Now it is Grimes that goes out to the apron and grabs
Candice by the hair, but she slaps the shit out of him! Grimes turns RIGHT INTO WILLOWS BELL from Ciampa! 1 ... 2 ...
N0000000! Grimes kicks out!!!! Johnny goes for the slingshot spear, but Grimes grabs the ref and pulls him in the way and Johnny takes out the ref! Grimes has the UWF tag title belt and KO's Johnny and has the pin! Candice is in the ring and pulls Grimes off by his hair! Ball-Plex to Grimes! Candice grabs the title belt now and KO's Grimes! Candice gets some payback on Grimes, but Mickie pulls her to the floor and hits the Mick Kick! In the ring, Ciampa pulls up the woozy Gargano, and they get in opposite corners for 'Meet in the Middle, but Storm pulls Ciampa out and smashes the injured knee into the ring post! Mickie is back in now and goes for a low blow on Johnny, but he catches it .... Gargano just shrugs ... SUPERKICK TO MICKIE! Storm back in and hits the Last Call superkick on Johnny! The ref is back up and slowly counts the 1 ... 2 ... 2.999999!!! Storm goes for the 8 second ride, but Ciampa grabs Johnny's leg and pulls him free .... Superkick by Johnny RIGHT INTO THE FAIRYTALE ENDING FROM CIAMPA! 1... 2 ... Grimes breaks it up just before 3! What's it gonna take???? Grimes goes for the Cave In on Johnny, but Gargano pops him over his head right into a bicycle knee from Ciampa!!!! Johnny to the apron, ONE FINAL BEAT! 1 ... 2
... Grimes kicks out! Johnny goes right into the Gargano Escape!!!! Grimes is in the middle of the ring! Storm comes back in to Storm reaches out for his tag team partner but he is just out of reach! Storm is yelling at Grimes not to tap .... BUT GRIMES
CAN"T HOLD ON ANYMORE AND HE TAPS OUT!!!! WE HAVE NEW CHAMPIONS!!!!
