MLW is back in Landover, Maryland, in the shadow of our nations Capitol at the Capitol One Centre …. Former president Donald Trump is back in his old stomping grounds of the D.C swamp and it’s standing room only tonight …. the fans are RABID as Pyro erupts from the ringposts and above the entranceway …. We get camera pans over the capacity crowd as the voices MAURO RENALLO and PAT MCAFEE are heard welcoming the viewing audience, and billboarding tonight’s show to set up what we will see tonight ….


‘YOU KNOW IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BOOM!’ and here comes Adam Cole down to the ring accompanied by Britt Baker …. McAfee talks about the HUGE match between the Undisputed Era and the Foundation on FIGHTLAND, where Britt Baker interfered on behalf of the UE leading to Cole pinning Solo Sikoa ….

Cole takes the mic and says the Undisputed Era proved without a shadow of a doubt they are the dominant group in MLW …. He looks at Britt and tells her he couldn’t have done it without her support (literally), and that behind every good man there is a good woman …. Cole says now that they have beat the Foundation his focus is on Ospreay …. Cole is interrupted by the arrival of … Paul Heyman???

Heyman comes out alone and cuts a promo about how there would be no Undisputed Era if there wasn’t Paul Heyman …. In 2014 he was the manager of a young, upstart tag team consisting of Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly …. Later on that year, Heyman is the man that found Bobby Fish and assembled Redragon …. This seems to get through to Cole, whose demeanor changes …. Cole tells Heyman he’s right, then extends his hand for a handshake …. Heyman goes to take his hand …. BUT COLE SUPERKICKS HEYMAN!!!!  Heyman is down, and Cole tells Britt to pick him up!  She holds him in place as Cole is going to hit the BOOM, BUT REIGNS’ MUSIC HITS!!!!  

Reigns walks calmly to the ring, but when he slides in he unleashes on Cole!  Reigns is beating the fuck out of Cole, but Baker steps in the way …. This allows Cole to get a cheap shot on Reigns and superkick him in the knee, followed by another superkick!  Cole sets Reigns up for the Boom, but as he comes off the ropes Reigns pops up and turns Cole inside out with a lariat!!!!  Reigns loads up for the Superman Punch, BUT BRITT STEPS IN FRONT AND TAKES THE BULLET FOR COLE!!!!  Cole immediately stops everything and checks on Britt, and Reigns pauses long enough for Cole to pull Baker to the floor and he carries his unconscious girlfriend to the back ….


BACKSTAGE -

Cole carries Baker to the back and hands her off to the doctors …. Baker is loaded into an ambulance and Cole climbs in as well and the ambulance drives off ….

PROMO -

Miro is in the back ….

MIRO - “So, Samoa Joe is looking for me.  For Miro.  Joe, why so serious.    I am not hard to find.  The Redeemer makes his return on FIGHTLAND.  You know Joe,  I actually like you.  Somewhere else in this life we may have been friends …. But not here …. Not now.  You surrendered the Openweight title like a coward because you wanted to avoid a match with Miro …. You disrespected me, then I had to sit by while I was injured and watch you get handed everything that was supposed to be mine …. But I’m an honorable man, Joe, and in time I will forgive you.  But first I’m gonna hurt you.  You call yourself a machine, a monster.  You say ‘Joes gonna kill you.’  Maybe you’re right Joe, because every man dies.  I just insist that you be first!  And when you look in the mirror, you realize that the real monster isn’t looking AT you, he’s looking FOR you ….”

THE USOS (Jimmy &amp; Jey)
VS.
Redragon (Kyle O’Reilly &amp; Bobby Fish)

The USOs attack as Redragon makes their way in and they run wild on them …. Fish gets a blind tag to O’Reilly and they cut off Jimmy, making quick tags in and out and beating him down in their corner …. They work the heat on Jimmy, but he battles back with an enziguri, but Fish goes over and knocks Jey off the apron so Jimmy can’t make the tag …. Jimmy eats the 2 man smash machine for a 2 count, then Fish sits him on the top rope and hammers him with chops and strikes …. Jimmy fights off a Fish superplex attempt and hits the missile dropkick, setting up a hot tag to Jey!  

Jey runs wild now, hitting the running hip attack in the corner on Fish and then a Full Nelson Bomb on O’Reilly …. O’Reilly eats the PK but Fish is in and breaks up the pin …. Jimmy is back in and we’ve got all 4 guys fighting …. Jimmy is tossed and Fish &amp; O’Reilly hit the butterfly DDT into a wheelbarrow suplex but Jey kicks out …. Axe &amp; Smash but Jey counters with a superkick to Kyle!  Jey heads up top but misses the splash and rolls through to his feet, allowing Kyle to hit Axe &amp; Smash for a good near fall!  They set him up for No Mans Land but Jimmy grabs Fishs leg from the outside and pulls him to the floor …. This allows Jey to grab O’Reilly and hit the Blu Ray (Death Valley driver into the turnbuckles)!  Jimmy back in and they hit the alley-uce (pop up Samoan drop)!  1 … 2 … Fish pulls the ref to the floor!  Jey flies over the top rope and wipes out Fish with a dive!  O’Reilly eats a superkick from Jimmy, and he goes up top, but Roderick Strong is here and he shoves Jimmy off to the mat!  O’Reilly grabs Jimmy and hits the Regal Cutter (cutthroat hangman neckbreaker) for the the 1 … 2 … 3!  Redragon steal the win!…. </p></center>


IN THE BACK -

We see Hook sitting alone in the dressing room …. The door opens, and in walks Jon Moxley!!!! …. What the hell is Moxley doing in MLW????  Hook stands up but Moxley tells him to relax because he ain’t here to fight …. Who he really wants to fight is Hook’s old man, but he doesn’t have the balls …. He thought Taz was the baddest MF around …. Looks like that’s not the case and he wonders if Hook has more balls than his broken down old man …. Hook gets right in Moxley’s face …. Moxley backs off and says maybe the apple didn’t fall far from the tree …. they can fight, but why take the path of least resistance?  He says Hook needs to get away from his old man before he lets Taz drag him down …. When Hook wants to smarten up, there is a place for him in the Conspiracy!  Is Moxley trying to recruit Hook????  Moxley tells him to think about it and leaves ….
