We are back in MLW ground zero in Atlantic City, at the Trump Plaza …. The Great American Bash is in the books, and the entire landscape of MLW has changed …. It is standing room only tonight and the fans are RABID …. Pyro explodes from the entranceway and from the ring posts as MLW is on the air!

We are greeted by the voices MAURO RENALLO and PAT MCAFEE welcoming the viewing audience, and billboarding tonight’s show to set up what we will see tonight ….


Mauro and Pat are ringside and tonight is the SEASON PREMIER of MLW!  Social Media and the dirt sheets have been buzzing about the events of the Great American Bash, as The Undisputed Era have been forced to leave MLW …. But even more shocking were the actions of Britt Baker after the end of the show …. Mauro says they have exclusive footage of what happened AFTER the show went off the air …. And we know that it was teased on the official MLW Twitter account as well as President Trumps Twitter account that a new tag team will be debuting for MLW tonight ….

UWF WOMEN’S WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH:
(Champions) SASHA BANKS &amp; NAOMI
Vs.
TOXIC ATTRACTION (Gigi Dolin &amp; Jacy Jayne) w/ Mandy Rose

This match was supposed to happen at the Evolve Bash show, but was scrubbed from the card when Evolve suspended operations ….

This is an entertaining match that establishes Toxic Attraction as a real threat to the titles …. Mandy Rose patrols the outside, getting involved and swinging the momentum in the favor of her girls …. Sasha takes the heat but gets a hot tag to Naomi, who runs wild with athletic offense …. Rear View connects on Dolin but Jayne is there to break up the pin …. Toxic Shock to Naomi, but Sasha makes the save and all 4 women are going at it but Rose interferes and takes out Naomi with the bicycle knee!  Gigi gets Trapped in Sin on Banks, but she reverses out into the Banks Statement!  Rose can’t make the save and Dolin taps out!  The champs retain!</p></center>


The main event is hyped for later …. The American Wolves get a one on one shot at the MLW tag team champions, ‘A Boy &amp; His Dinosaur’ ….



Miro’s music hits and out comes ‘The Redeemer’ and he is carrying the MLW title belt …..

*** we see highlights of Miro beating Ospreay by countout at the Bash and then Miro destroying Ospreay after the match, locking him in the 7th Seal and refusing to let go …. ***

Miro cuts a promo and says he took this belt at the Bash because it belongs to him …. Will Ospreay took the cowards way out and got himself counted out to save his title …. Is that who you believe deserves to be your champion?  This I CANNOT forgive …. So now I must redeem you through pain!  I’m a simple man … Only two things motivate me in my life: A vengeful God and a double-jointed wife.  So, Will Ospreay, you can face me like a man, or run away.  But either way a glorious reckoning is upon you.  This is the word of the Redeemer!

All of a sudden the fans are buzzing about something, and we see Will Ospreay is on top of the entrance tunnel above Miro …. He’s a good 25 feet in the air!  Miro turns, AND OSPREAY LEAPS OFF HIS PERCH AND WIPES HIM OUT!!!!  Ospreay comes up holding his shoulder, which is heavily taped up …. You know he’s hurt but he’s here to fight!  Ospreay attacks Miro, hammering him all the way back toward the ring but one big knee from Miro stops all that …. Ospreay fires back with strikes as officials and producers pour out of the back and try to pull the two men apart!!!! ….


IN THE BACK -

Quinn McKay is with ‘Switchblade’ Jay White ….




WHITE - “Did I hear Samoa Joe declare that whoever was the next Openweight champion should bring as much prestige to the title as he did?  Well, now, I could care less about Samoa Joe or anything he has to say, but come on, Cameron Grimes is a joke!  He didn’t beat anyone to win the title, he just showed he can climb a ladder.  He’s the guy that when he comes out everyone goes to take a piss! …. He was about to lose that title at the Bash before yours truly got involved.  So all I’ve got to say is ‘you’re welcome’, because without me you two would have been just another match on the card ….”

“So now everyone is talking about me!  Well, because I’m ‘the catalyst’ baby!  I’m the #1 asset in MLW and I’m the change this company needs …. I am the one that moves the pieces on the chess board …. It’s time for everyone in MLW to ‘breathe with the switchblade’ ….”

White is cut off as Rex Steiner walks onto that interview set …. He didn’t think White would ever shut up …. He was waiting for him to stop talking so he could tell him that it’s gonna be White vs. Steiner in the ring TONIGHT! ….

WARDLOW
vs.
THE SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR

Wardlow makes his debut to a bunch of hype from the announcers about how he is a blue-chip talent …. The Social Justice Warrior is a parody of the Ultimate Warrior, but he is an advocate for social Justice …. He looks like a skinny tattooed hipster but his tassels and tights are all rainbow colored for advocacy and he has a black BLM armband on ….

The bell rings and the Warrior tries to talk to Wardlow about being an ally …. They should go to the back and talk about going to a BLM protest …. When Wardlow laughs at him he snaps and starts yelling at Wardlow, calling him a ‘racist, sexist, misogynist homophone’ …. Wardlow destroys him with a clothesline!  He picks him up …. POWERBOMB SYMPHONY!!!!  1 … 2 … 3 … 4 … 5 Powerbombs!!!!  Wardlow puts the foot on the Warriors sunken chest and gets the 3 count in 90 seconds ….</p></center>


VIDEO PACKAGE -

Solo Sikoa’s performance during War Games is highlighted …. He is really put over as the workhorse in the match, entering first and turning in a great performance …. Solo will be in action on the next episode of FIGHTLAND ….


Up next, the music of The Acclaimed hits!  Out comes Caster &amp; Bowens …. “YO … YO … LISTEN!  LISTEN!” ….


Mauro speculates that The Acclaimed could be the tag team that was teased to debut tonight as Caster cuts a rap about how Trump took too long to call them up to the main roster and roasting New Jersey …. BOWENS: “Aaaaaaaatlantic Ciiiiitttaaaaayyyy!  THE ACCLAIMED HAVE ARRIVED!!!!”

It appears The Acclaimed are the debuting tag team teased on social media when the lights go out ….

“Superkick PARTAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!”


The Young Bucks are here!!!!  The Bucks are in MLW!


<center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">

THE ACCLAIMED (Max Caster &amp; Anthony Bowens)
Vs.
THE YOUNG BUCKS (Matt &amp; Nick Jackson)

The crowd is hot for the Young Bucks the whole match and mark out for everything they do ….

The Acclaimed show their ability in hanging with the Bucks …. Caster pulls the leg of Nick as he comes off the ropes, creating the distraction they need to take over ….

Nick gets smashed into the heels’ corner and is worked over …. Nick gets a tag to Matt, who fires away hard on both opponents …. Matt catches Bowens into the multiple northern lights suplexes, and then locks on a sharpshooter!  Caster comes in and breaks it up, but Nick tags in and they land a doomsday device for a two-count …. Big pop!  Nick goes to the top but Castor cuts him off, and The Acclaimed hit the superplex/splash combo!!!!  1 … 2 … Nick breaks it up!  

Castor rakes Nicks eyes but walks into a superkick …. rolling elbow smash from Bowens, but the Bucks come back with a double superkick to take out Bowens!  Matt picks Bowens up and hits a Buckle Bomb while Nick  hits a gamengiri from the apron!  Caster interrupts the pin and tosses Nick, but Matt with the superkick …. The Bucks set Castor up and hit the Indy-taker (springboard spike tombstone)!  That’s enough to get the 3 count …. The Bucks get the win in their MLW debut …. </p></center>


IN THE BACK -

Charly Caruso talks about the new faces showing up for the season premier of MLW, and she has another one with her right now …. She brings in ‘Absolute’ Ricky Starks ….




Ricky tells Charly to call him ‘stroke daddy’ because that’s what the ladies call him …. to everyone else he’s ‘pretty Ricky’ …. He’s heard everyone so far tonight talking about how they are the next big thing in MLW, and the theme of the night seems to be ‘the landscape of MLW has changed’ …. Well, there is no greater evidence of that than him standing here before you now …. Every place he’s been, everyone has told him he was gonna be a star …. To those people he says shut the hell up because he’s already a star!  He was a star then, and he’s a star right now!  No one was willing to take a chance on him, but he made his own break and he’s tired of being patient …. He isn’t just the future of MLW, he’s the present and he’s the past too!  

UWF Intercontinental Champion Samoa Joe walks onto the interview set …. Joe says that’s a nice speech and he likes Starks’ fire …. but can Starks back it up in the ring? …. Starks says he can do all the things he said AND more …. Joe offers Starks a shot at the IC title on FIGHTLAND and says ‘let’s see what you got kid.’ ….

NIKKITA LYONS
Vs.
KIERA HOGAN

Nikkita continues to get over with the crowd, to the point they are chanting ‘Thic-kita’ for her …. She wins this one with the tornado roundhouse followed by the split-legged leg drop ….

</p></center>


Back at ringside, Mauro and Pat recap the WAR GAMES match at the Bash …. Roman Reigns made Adam Cole surrender and now the Undisputed Era are no longer in MLW …. As shocking as the ending of the match was, what happened afterwards involving Britt Baker was even more shocking …. We go to the highlights ….


AFTER THE SHOW WENT OFF THE AIR:After the Foundation leave, The Undisputed Era are still in the ring in disbelief …. The fans actually give them a curtain call, then one at a time they leave the ring until only Adam Cole is in the ring …. Britt Baker is at ringside crying and she comes into the ring and hugs Cole …. Cole looks to be in tears as well …. Baker holds his face in her hands and tells Cole to ‘do it one last time’ and Cole sets up to do the ‘Adam Cole Bay Bay!’ chant BUT BAKER LOW BLOWS COLE FROM BEHIND!!!!    The crowd lets out a collective gasp as Cole drops to his knees staring up at Baker in disbelief …. Baker slaps the fuck out of him!   She tells Cole it’s over before walking out of the ring as the fans are throwing trash at her ….



Mauro and Pat announce that Baker will be on FIGHTLAND to address her shocking actions ….

REX STEINER
Vs.
‘Switchblade’ JAY WHITE

Openweight champion Cameron Grimes is at ringside for this one and has interactions with both guys …. Steiner overpowers White early, but White heels his way into taking over for a brief period …. Steiner fires back with shoulder blocks, then a belly to belly for a 2 count …. White comes back but walks into a Frankensteiner for another 2 …. White bails out and then decides to antagonize Grimes at ringside which causes Grimes to attack White …. White tosses Grimes into the steps and grabs the Openweight title and smashes Steiner in the back with it!  Grimes is back in and hits the Cave In to take out White!  Steiner is back up and sees Grimes holding the Openweight title and thinks he’s the one that hit him, so Steiner lays Grimes out with the gorilla press powerslam …. Steiner stands tall ….</p></center>


IN THE BACK -

Tegan Nox &amp; Dakota Kai talk backstage …. Kai says they didn’t get the job done against Toxic Attraction so maybe Team Kick doesn’t need to be a thing anymore …. Tegan says ‘maybe not’ …. Tegan &amp; Dakota say no matter what they will have each other’s backs ….


<center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">

MLW TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH:
(Champions)A BOY &amp; HIS DINOSAUR (Jungle Boy &amp; Luchasaurus)
vs.
AMERICAN WOLVES (Davey Richards &amp; Eddie Edwards)


Richards and Jungle Boy get us going, with Jungle Boy using his speed to outmatch Davey …. The champs control, with Luchasaurus  tagging in to hit some power moves …. Davey catches Jungle Boy and delivers a horrific punt to the spine, putting the Wolves on top for the first time …. They isolate Jungle Boy and Edwards takes him to the floor, body slams him on the concrete then hits another big kick to the back out there …. Jungle Boy fights back, hitting a tornado DDT on Edwards while hitting an enziguri on Richards at the same time!  He crawls to the corner and gets the hot tag into the Luchasaurus who comes in and runs wild …. The Wolves come back and hit the Double Alarm Clock (pop-up roundhouse kick) …. The Wolves go up top for the Food Chain, but Jungle Boy is up and tosses Davey all the way to the floor!  Suicide dive on Davey!  Eddie eats the Tail Whip in the ring, and we get a tag to Jungle Boy as he goes up top …. JUNGLE FEVER (springboard double stomp)!!!!  1 … 2 … 3!  The champs retain!</p></center>


POST MATCH: Quinn McKay joins the champs in the ring …. Jungle Boy says they have faced everyone MLW puts in front of them …. They are fighting champions and will stay fighting champions because if you want a shot at these belts they will fight you anytime, anywhere ….

They are interrupted as out comes Paul Heyman and the USOs!!!!  


JEY USO - “Fighting champions huh?  Why haven’t you put the belts on the line against us yet then Uce?  The USOs have been the best tag team in MLW since day 1.  But since we stepped foot in MLW we’ve had to deal with distractions from the Undisputed Era.  Well, now it’s just us, and we da ones!  Our bloodline built tag team wrestling …. The Wild Samoans, The Samoan Swat Team, the Polynesian Darkwater Tribe!  Yeah Uce!  We know you know those names!  And don’t think we’ve forgotten that chokeslam from MLW #55. A yo Jimmy, I don’t know about you Uce, but what I heard was that they will fight anyone, anytime …. Well, how bout us Uce?  How bout right now????”

Jungle Boy says they are fighting champions and if they want a shot they can have it …. DOUBLE SUPERKICK TO LUCHASAURUS!!!!  Jungle Boy is in shock, and the USOs jump on him next!  Jungle Boy fires off crazy fists but walks right into the pop-up Samoan Drop!  Jimmy up too but Luchasaurus is back up …. Jimmy jumps off but Luchasaurus grabs him by the throat!  Hey comes running in, and Luchasaurus goozles him too!  ROMAN REIGNS IS HERE AND HE TAKES LUCHASAURUS OUT WITH THE SPEAR!!!!

Reigns grabs the ring steps and KO’s Luchasaurus with them, but here is Jungle Boy back in and he attacks Reigns …. The USOs cut Jungle Boy off, but Reigns tells the USOs to stand down!  He dares Jungle Boy to hit him and even gives him a free shot!  Jungle Boy looks around, then nails a right hand but Reigns no sells it and floors him with a Superman punch!  The Foundation lay Jungle Boy on the announce table, then give Luchasaurus the Shield triple powerbomb on top of Jungle Boy through the announce table!!!!  

Everyone is shocked by this as the Foundation stand tall having destroyed the MLW tag team champions!!!!


Fade to black ….
