The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly &amp; Roderick Strong)
VS.
THE FOUNDATION (Roman Reigns &amp; The Usos)

Its O’Reilly, Strong and Cole representing the UE in this one …. We get the Cole vs. Reigns showdown to start the match and they circle each other … Then Cole turns and tags out without doing anything …. Roderick Strong comes in and locks up with Reigns, who promptly overpowers him …. Reigns tags in Jey Uso, who runs into a knee from the apron from O’Reilly …. Cole tags himself in, but Jey tags Reigns, which prompts Cole to quickly tag out again …. Reigns chases Cole around the ring, but runs into No Mans Land from Fish &amp; Kyle as Strong distracts the ref …. Cole stomps on Reigns, but when Reigns starts to fire back Cole tags out …. They get heat on Jimmy Uso, and Cole has no problem getting in the ring when Reigns is on the apron …. Strong and Kyle end up double teaming Reigns on the floor and putting him through the announce table with an Angle Slam!!!!  The Usos battle against the numbers, but Roddy runs wild with strikes and chops followed with a knee strike and then a sick kick!  Tiger Bomb by Strong and then he transitions into the Strong Hold!  Jimmy breaks it up!  Axe &amp; Smash takes out Jimmy, then he blocks a superkick from Jey and locks on the heel hook!  Jey is trapped, but Reigns is back up and breaks it up!  It is chaos at this point!  Reigns and Cole come face to face, but Cole begs off …. Before Reigns can get his hands on Cole, Strong and O’Reilly are back in and take Reigns out with No Man’s Land!  The Usos pull Strong and O’Reilly to the floor, and now Cole is all about it because Reigns is hurt …. Cole blows a kiss to Reigns and is about to superkick him, BUT HERE IS SOLO SIKOA!  Samoan Drop to Cole!  Sikoa goes all the way to the top …. SUPERFLY SPLASH TO COLE!  O’Reilly back in ….

FOR THE MLW WOMEN’S TITLE:
(Champion) RAQUEL GONZALEZ w/ SoCAl Val
VS.
XIA LI w/ Boa &amp; Mei Ying

Gonzalez comes out aggressive and powers Xia Li into the corner off the jump …. Li tries to fire back with strikes but Gonzalez stops her with a big boot …. The fight goes to the floor and Raquel goes to kick Li but Li moves, and Raquel gets her leg caught around the ringpost!  Li brutalizes the knee and takes over, then pushes the champ into the steel steps …. Li dropkicks Raquel’s knee into the steel steps and then tosses her back in …. Li with a half crab, but Gonzalez gets to the ropes …. Li charges but Gonzalez catches her and hits a fallaway slam while standing on one leg!!!!  Gonzalez misses a charge in the corner, allowing Li to hit Black Mass!!!!  The force of the move knocks Raquel all the way to the floor and the ref starts counting, but Li stops her …. Li goes to retrieve Raquel from the floor, but gets hit with a Snake Eyes into the ring post!  Raquel runs wild now, hitting a corkscrew Vader Bomb!  She sets for the Chingona Bomb, but Boa is on the apron!  Raquel knocks him off the apron with a big boot!  Li charges, BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO THE CHINGONA BOMB!  1 … 2 … Mei Ying breaks it up by blowing the black smoke in the face of Raquel!!!!  The ref calls for the bell!!!! ….</p></center>

POST MATCH: Mei Ying and Xia Li put the boots to Raquel, who is still dazed from the ‘smoke mist’ …. OUT OF THE BACK RUNS DEONNA PURAZZO!!!!  Deonna hits the ring and fights off Li, sending Tian Sha bailing out …. Deonna looks down and sees Gonzalez’s womens’ title laying on the mat …. Deonna reaches down and picks it up, looking at it, but Raquel is back up and sees this and she jerks the title out of her hands!  Raquel is pissed and lets Deonna know it by getting right in her face …. Deonna smiles and holds up her hands and backs away …. SoCal Val is trying to diffuse the situation, but Deonna just smiles and leaves the ring ….  The cameras focus on Deonna’s face as she walks off, and her smile turns into a look of pure rage as she walks off, with Raquel holding the title up in the ring and watching her go ….

FOR THE UWF WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES:
(Champions) JOHNNY GARGANO &amp; TOMASSO CIAMPA
VS.
GRIZZLED YOUNG VETERANS (Zack Gibson &amp; James Drake)

We get some clean wrestling to start us out, which quickly breaks down into Ciampa &amp; Gargano going on the offensive …. Johnny is actually more of the hothead in this match due to his previous issues with GYV from their days in Progress …. Ciampa is the cooler head if you can believe that …. Ciampa ends up taking the heat from GYV, barely surviving several near falls …. Ciampa fights back with a knee strike to Gibson, then Gargano and Drake are both tagged in …. Gargano meets Drake with the slingshot spear for 2, but Drake is up and cuts off Johnny only to be taken out by Ciampa …. Gibson gets Ciampa on his shoulders and Drake takes him out with the suicide dive Doomsday Device!  Gargano battles against both Drake &amp; Gibson, and they set him up for Ticket to Mayhem but Gargano counters into the Gargano Escape!  Ciampa is back in and puts Drake in the bridging Fujiwara armbar shades of how they won the UWF tag titles!  Drake is able to reach up and rakes the eyes of Johnny, breaking the hold, and GYV hit the ‘Grit Ya Teeth’ for a nearfall …. Ciampa takes out Drake with Project Ciampa, but Gibson locks on Shankly Gates!  Ciampa isn’t the legal man and Gargano breaks it up with One Final Beat!  Johnny &amp; Ciampa get in opposite corners …. MEET IN THE MIDDLE!  Gargano pins Gibson and the champs retain! ….</p></center>


Up next, it’s time for the Fatal 4 Way that was announced on FIGHTLAND #9 …. We got the announcement that Cara Noir was the 3rd entry in the match, and Noir makes his unique entrance to the match …. Riddle, Steiner and Noir are all in the ring as we await the announcement of the 4th person ….

Spoiler:

FATAL 4 WAY MATCH:
MATT RIDDLE
VS.
REX STEINER
VS.
“The Black Swan’ CARA NOIR
VS.
NIGEL MCGUINESS

The action is fast-paced in this one and almost too quick to keep up with …. Noir shines early, showing off his unique mat-based and submission offense …. Noir is super over with the London crowd but Nigel is probably the most over …. We launch into a flurry of false finishes in the closing stretch, including Steiner running wild and taking out everyone in the match …. Noir comes back and is able to get Steiner in the Black Swan Sleeper, and he has him trapped in the middle of the ring BUT RIDDLE COMES OFF THE TOP WITH THE FLOATING BRO ON TOP OF BOTH MEN!  EVERYONE IS DOWN!  They all battle to their feet, and Steiner grabs Riddle by the throat and presses him up for his finisher, but Nigel grabs Noir and throws him into Steiner to break up the move!  Steiner is knocked to the floor, allowing Nigel to take Riddle’s head off with the jawbreaker lariat!!!!  1 … 2 … 3! ….</p></center>


<center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">
FOR THE MLW TAG TEAM TITLES:
(Champions) THE NORTH (Ethan Page &amp; Josh Alexander)
VS.
A BOY &amp; HIS DINOSAUR (Jungle Boy &amp; Luchasaurus)

This is a very different match from their first one, where The North used their automatic title shot to cash in on Jungle Boy &amp; Luchasaurus after their match against Ciampa &amp; Gargano …. Jungle Boy and Alexander start, with Jungle Boy getting some armdrags and Lucha moves to keep him off balance …. Luchasaurus is tagged in for some double team moves, but the North end up trapping Jungle Boy on their side of the ring …. Jungle Boy is a great sympathetic babyface and he fights from underneath …. He makes the hot tag to Luchasaurus who comes in and cleans house …. Alexander eats the Tail Whip, then he hits Page with the (tomb)Stone Age for a delayed 2 count where everyone thought we had new champs …. Luchasaurus hits a reverse DDT on Page while also choke slamming Alexander on top of him, then Lucha and Jungle Boy hit the Jurassic Express (back suplex tosses into a powerbomb) for a delayed 2 count on Alexander as Page makes the save!!!!  Page is tossed, but he grabs one of the MLW tag team belts from the announce table as Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus set Alexander up for the Extinction Level Event (Doomsday Canadian Destroyer) …. Page smashes Luchasaurus in the back with the title belt, but Jungle Boy flies off the top and takes Page out with a missile dropkick!  Jungle Boy is up, BUT WALKS RIGHT INTO A ROLLING ELBOW FROM ALEXANDER!  Alexander hooks him for Divine Intervention (Jay Driller) but Lucahsaurus with the Tail Whip … into a Jackknife pin by Jungle Boy!!!!  1 … 2 … 3!  New Champions!!!! ….</p></center>




<center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">
SINGLES MATCH:
Dr. BRITT BAKER D.M.D
VS.
CORA JADE

Baker does some trash talking at the beginning, clearly not taking Jade seriously …. Jade aint playing that shit and hits Britt with a forearm to the face!  Britt is stunned, allowing Jade to hit a couple of moves and get a nearfall on Britt, but she puts a stop to all that with a superkick …. From here on out it is all Baker, as she hits the Adam Cole knee lift brainbuster followed by the curb stomp, but that only gets 2!  The announcers put over the fight Jade has in her, but Baker drills her with the Rainbaker (Ripcord rolling elbow strike), followed with another curb stomp!  Baker yells at Jade to ‘STAY DOWN!’, then she locks on the lockjaw for the submission win ….</p></center>




We have come to the main event, and the announcers hype the match for the MLW title with Samoa Joe cashing in his Lucky 7 stipulation to challenge the MLW champion …. Will Ospreay has been obsessed with beating Joe to prove his legitimacy as champion, seeing as Joe has beaten him in every other match they have had ….

Ospreay gets the streamer treatment from the hometown crowd, and he is about as over as you can get here …. The story of this match is that Ospreay has never beaten Joe and doesn’t feel he can call himself champion until he beats him … So far Joe has beaten Ospreay in the Openweight title finals and then their rematch went to a 30 minute draw … It’s Ospreay’s speed and flashy, fancy maneuvers versus Joe’s smash-mouth, no-nonsense style …


<center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">
FOR THE MLW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE:
(Champion) WILL OSPREAY
VS.
(MLW Openweight Champion) SAMOA JOE

Ospreay plays Joe’s game a little too much early on and pays the price for it, with Joe just hammering Ospreay with strikes … Every time Ospreay hits Joe, Joe absorbs the shot and answers back usually dropping Ospreay in the process … Ospreay goes to his ‘aerial assassin’ offense, knocking Joe off the apron to the floor with a springboard dropkick off the apron …. Ospreay scores with a Sasuke Special over the top rope and now Ospreay is in control …. OsCutter from the barricade!!!!  Ospreay rolls back in and here we see his desperation just to beat Joe and he is content with letting Joe get counted out!  Joe makes it back in the ring at 9!  Ospreay stays on Joe, hitting Pip Pip Cheerio (phenomenal forearm) for a close 2!  It seems every time Joe kicks out Ospreay doubts himself a little more …. Joe battles back, catching Ospreay on the top rope and hitting a Superplex!  Both men down!  They struggle to their feet in opposite corners, but Ospreay chargers Joe in the corner but runs into ST-Joe!  , Joe tries to catch his breath but charges for a lariat but this time Ospreay catches him and turns it into a Spanish Fly!  The action is back and forth …. Joe kicks out of the OsCutter, then catches Ospreay in a scoop powerslam …. He takes him to the top for a muscle buster but Ospreay hits a super top-rope hurricanrana!  Ospreay goes for the 630 but Joe gets the knees up!  Island Driver but Ospreay kicks out at 2!  Joe sits Ospreay up top and goes for the Muscle Buster, but Ospreay counters with a Stun Dog Millionaire!  Hidden Blade!  Joe kicks out at 1!  FIGHTING SPIRIT!!!!  Ospreay rips off the elbow pad …. KILLS JOE WITH A HIDDEN BLADE TO THE FACE!!!!  Ospreay powers Joe up …. STORMBREAKER!!!!  1 … 2 … 3!!!! ….</p></center>


More streamers for Ospreay after the match as the London crowd is going nuts …. Ospreay soaks it in as we fade to black ….
