BECKY LYNCH - “Lacey, I am
So SICK of you. I’m sick of your little accent, I’m sick of the happy housewife routine. I’m sick of your daughter too. But what I’m most sick of if how tight you’ve held onto my coattails this whole time and kept me from what belongs to me! Well, tonight I’m gonna make you let go if I have to rip your arm off and take it with me …” |  |
 | LACEY EVANS - “Becky, honey, I haven’t been holding on to anything. Youre the one that has been holding on because you just seem to be obsessed with me ever since I walked in the door of MLW …. Maybe it’s because I’ve pinned you … TWICE! But last week you cost me MY shot at the MLW Womens title …. Tonight I’m going to show you how a strong, independent woman has a right to survive …. A WOMAN’s RIGHT! …. ya nasty!” |
We go ringside to the FIGHTLAND commentary team of JOE ROGAN, DANIEL CORMIER and JON ANIK …. They hype up tonight’s show as we go to the ring ….

Tonight we will see Solo Sikoa & Hook do battle once again in a street fight, plus Becky Lynch battles Lacey Evans in a 2/3 falls match! …. BRONSON REED vs. ORANGE CASSIDY
Total squash match … Reed rag dolls Cassidy around the ring and nearly takes his head off with a King Kong lariat …. Reed squashes Cassidy with the Tsunami in under 3 minutes ….
POST MATCH:
ROMAN REIGNS AND THE USOS ARE HERE!!!! Reigns and the Usos come out to a huge pop, but Reigns tells the Usos to stay in the back as he heads toward the ring!!!! …. Reigns walks out on the ramp, and security blocks his way to the ring … Reigns reaches in the pocket of his track jacket and pulls something out …. IT’S A CONTRACT! He signs it!!!! Reigns tosses the contract aside, and security look around at each other and then step aside! Reigns hits the ring for some big boy brawling with Reed!!!! …. It is a crazy scene as Reigns sends Reed over the top with a clothesline and owns the ring …. Reed is not deterred and he comes back after Reigns but now security is out in full force to keep them separated ….
Donald Trump comes out!!!! Trump walks over and picks up the contract and looks it over …. Trump then takes a mic and officially welcomes Reigns to the MLW roster! On top of that he books Reigns vs. Reed in tonight’s main event!

Roman Reigns cuts a promo on Bronson Reed …. All the legal BS is out of the way, so now he wants a fight …. He calls himself Babe Ruth, he calls his shot and delivers every time. And he promises that tonight, Bronson Reed will ACKNOWLEDGE HIM! MLW is now the island of relevancy, and he He is a man of his word …. Believe that!</p></center>
HOOK vs. SOLO SIKOA
These two met at FIGHTLAND #7, which saw Hook get the win after Sikoa passed out while locked in Redrum …. Sikoa tried to splash Hook through a table at ringside but Hook avoided it and Sikoa pretty much took himself out of the match ….
Sikoa approaches this match differently, hitting a corkscrew neckbreaker early on that appears to injure the neck of Hook …. Sikoa zeroes in on the neck, working it over, but Hook tries to battle back …. Hook hits a half nelson suplex on the ring apron and this time it’s Hook that introduces the table to the match …. While the ref is trying to stop Hook, Sikoa exposes one of the turnbuckles in the ring and the ref doesn’t see it …. The battle continues, with Sikoa hitting a top rope splash but only getting a 2 count …. Hook counters into the Redrum, but Sikoa slingshots him into the exposed turnbuckle face-first! Hook is on dream street and turns around right into a superkick from Sikoa! Sikoa falls on top and the ref counts 3!

Becky grabs a chair and attacks them arm of Lacey, and the ref steps in and DQ’s Becky and Lacey takes the first fall ….
Lacey Evans 1-0
We quickly see it wasn’t about winning the fall, it was about hurting Lacey …. Lacey may have a broken hand, and Becky continues the attack with the chair …. She traps Lacey’s arm between the steps and ringpost and then smashing the steps with the chair! …. The ref threatens to DQ Becky again, and that is the only way he gets the chair from her ….
The 2nd fall starts, and Becky is relentless in her attack of Lacey’s arm …. The Woman’s Right has been neutralized, as has most of Lacey’s offense …. Lacey is completely at Becky’s mercy, and Becky locks on the Disarm-Her and bends the fingers on the injured hand at a disgusting angle, forcing Lacey to tap out!
Lynch 1; Evans 1
The doctors check on Lacey, concerned for her health, but she shoves them away as Becky charges in …. WOMAN’S RIGHT KO’s BECKY! Becky is out, but Evans is rolling around clutching her injured hand! From here the match is evenly fought, with Lacey fighting through the pain and rallying …. Becky gets a false finish off the Manhandle Slam, but Evans fights back and hits a huge super-plex for another double down …. Evans hits the triple jump moonsault but only gets a 2 count!!!! Becky with a Becks-ploder into the buckles, but Lacey fights off the disarm-her into a backslide and almost pulls it out but she can’t hold her down with the injured arm …. Becky rolls through, this time grabbing the Disarm-her again and Lacey is trapped in the middle of the ring! Becky cranks back and Lacey finally taps!
Lynch 2; Evans 1
Evans is seriously hurt as doctors check on her after the match …. Becky celebrates like she just won the world title ….
ROMAN REIGNS vs. BRONSON REED
We are running short on time here as Reigns and Reed jumpstart this match in the back! They come brawling through the curtain into the arena, and they go all over ringside before the bell even rings! These guys fight all around the ringside area and Reed sends Reigns into the steps …. Reed goes for a back senton on the floor BUT HE MISSES!!!! Reed hits the floor with a sickening thud! REIGNS CHARGES AND DRIVES REED THROUGH THE BARRICADE WITH A SPEAR!!!! Reigns tosses him back in and hits the drive by kick on the apron! An onslaught of rapid fire clotheslines in the corner folks and as Reed falls to the mat Reigns screams out ‘ACKNOWLEDGE ME!’
Reigns cocks the arm for the Superman punch, but Reed catches him coming in with a superkick and then drives him down with the Jagged Edge! Back senton! 1 … 2 … Reigns kicks out! Reed goes to the top for the Tsunami, but Reigns is up! Superman punch to Reed on the top rope! Reed sags on the top, and Reigns climbs up with him …. SUPER-PLEX!!!! Reed hits the mat with such force the middle of the ring buckles in!!!! Both men are down, but Reigns is up first …. He charges for the spear, but Reed scoops him up and drills him with the back to belly piledriver! 1 … 2 … 2.99999!!!! Reed picks him up and unleashes a flurry of headbutts, and goes to the corner for a Vader bomb …. Reigns is up at the last second and grabs Reed AND POWERBOMBS HIM DOWN!!!! Reigns crouches …. SPEAR! 1 … 2 … Reed kicks out! Reigns waits for Reed to get up …. ANOTHER SPEAR! Reigns doesn’t go for the pin, instead he locks Reed in the Guillotine Choke! Reigns has it cinched in, and he chokes Reed out! Reed goes limp and the ref calls for the bell!
