*** PROLOGUE ***
FROM THE CLOSING MOMENTS OF MLW #75 - ‘The Great American Bash’
IT’S KING TONGA!!!!
Reigns smiles …. This is who he was talking to, the father of Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa! …. King Tonga slowly and deliberately walks to the ring and steps inside …. Solo Sikoa and the USOs step in between him and Reigns, but Reigns holds up his arms and tells them to stand down …. He looks at Tonga ….
REIGNS: “Finally! Finally you have come to Acknowledge Me as the High Chief! It didn’t have to be this way, your sons brought this on themselves. But YOU can fix this. All you have to do … is pay respect to my family, and pay tribute to ME as the High Chief! ”
King Tonga bows his head, BUT IN A FLASH GRABS REIGNS IN THE TONGAN DEATH GRIP!!!!
A look of horror is on Reigns’ face and he is brought to a knee! The Usos act quickly and drill Meng with a double superkick! MENG NO SELLS IT AND DOESN’T BREAK HIS GRIP!!!! The USOs look at each other in disbelief, and nail a 2ND double superkick! MENG IS UNFAZED! Here come the g.O.d to take out the USOs!!!! Solo Sikoa is in …. SAMOAN SPIKE TO KING TONGA! This frees Reigns from the Tongan Death Grip, but he doesn’t go off his feet! Reigns is gasping for air as Meng grabs the death grip on Solo!!!! Solo hits him with another Samoan Spike!!!! King Tonga STILL isn’t off his feet ….Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa grab Solo and hit the Magic Killer! Reigns pulls himself to his feet and finds himself alone in the ring with The Tongans! But he doesn’t see a massive figure that has entered the ring behind him!
It’s HIKULEO! The 6’8” youngest son of King Tonga! Reigns turns around and gets wiped out by a big boot! King Tonga is shouting instructions, as Hikuleo picks the world champion up and drives him through the table with a 2 handed choke bomb! The Tongans are left standing tall as the Bash comes to a close ….

*** IN THE BACK ***
We get footage from earlier today and Battle Riot winner Kenny Omega arriving at the arena …. Omega cuts a promo, but he is interrupted by Opera Cup winner Carmelo Hayes! Hayes says Omega isn’t the only one that won at the Bash, and he brought home the Opera Cup in front of his hometown …. Now Carmelo has the Opera Cup and he can call his shot …. Omega says he can too, but the difference is Omega gets his shot at ANY title he wants, but Hayes can only challenge for MLW titles …. He tells Melo to ‘stay in his lane’, but Hayes says you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take …. And when Melo shoots, he don’t miss …. Omega is down to find out in the ring tonight, but promises to embarass Melo in front of his hometown …. </p></center>
This match is up first …. The fans give Hayes a huge welcome since he is from the area, but Omega is also super over with the crowd ….

Good exchange to start, and Omega settles in with a chinlock …. Hayes battles out but Omega with the ‘You … can’t … Escape!’ gets a 2 count …. Melo comes back with a springboard rebound clothesline that knocks Omega outside and Melo wipes him out with a dive …. Back in the ring, Hayes charges into a boot and Omega with the leapfrog legdrop …. Hayes gets a school boy but then kips up into an enziguri while Omega is still on his knees …. They battle to the apron and trade kicks, BUT OMEGA WITH A SNAP DRAGON ON THE APRON! Omega fires up and goes to finish it with the One Winged Angel, but Hayes reverses into a poison-rana! Hayes hits a front suplex dropped into a cutter for a 2 count, then puts Omega in the ropes and hits the Fade Away (springboard leg drop) …. Omega looks like he’s in trouble here as the youngster pours it on, but Omega catches a pump kick from Hayes, rocks him with an elbow strike and hits a cross-legged fisherman buster that gets 2 …. Kenny fires up, but Hayes ducks the V-Trigger and hits ‘First 48’ (lungblower)! Hayes goes up top for Nothin But Net, but Kenny stops him and lays into him before climbing up top …. SUPERPLEX!
Both men lay on the mat with the fans chanting ‘THIS IS AWESOME!’ They climb to their feet and start the forearm exchange, but Omega shoves Hayes into the ropes — and catches him in a rebound Snapdragon Suplex! Another Snap Dragon! OMEGA WITH THE V-TRIGGER! He goes for One Winged Angel, but Hayes reverses into a victory roll! 1 … 2 … 2.9999999!!!! Omega barely escapes! Omega with a powerbomb and then pulls Hayes up right into another V-Trigger!

The crowd gives both men a standing ovation as they try to catch their breath from this opening match banger …. Omega pulls Hayes to his feet and slaps him on the back in acknowledgment for the great match …. Omega gets the win but Hayes looks like a star in the making here….
Up next, we get an in-ring segment with UWF World Light Heavyweight and MLW Openweight Champion Will Ospreay comes out to the ring …. Ospreay says he’s seen the reactions on social media and he’s heard people talking shit about him …. They are calling him a pussy for not letting the match continue at the Bash …. Ospreay says he isn’t a pussy, he gets pussy! He’s the best wrestler alive in ANY weight division …. He’s the ‘Ace’ of MLW ….
Powerhouse Hobbs music hits!!!! Hobbs says he destroyed Gargano at the Bash and he wants a shot at the open weight title …. Ospreay laughs and says the Ace isn’t fighting tonight ….
Sheamus’ music hits!!!! Sheamus comes out and Ospreay says this gives him an idea …. He’s taking the night off tonight because he’s the hardest working champion in all of wrestling, but they can fight each other …. Ospreay tells Sheamus and Hobbs: “IMPRESS ME!” …. Sheamus laughs and asks for the mic …. Ospreay: “Oh, you got something to say?” Sheamus turns around and Brogue kicks the fuck out of Ospreay and lays him out …. Sheamus holds up the mic and drops it, walking off but not before locking eyes with Hobbs ….
ILJA DRAGUNOV

BRODY KING
This match is a hard-hitting WAR …. Its a slugfest from the opening bell, and Dragunov keeps coming despite beating beat to hell by King …. Dragunov shows his power by hitting several German suplexes on the bigger King, and even hitting a Death Valley driver into the turnbuckle …. King cuts off the Torpedo Moscow with a huge lariat, then hits a doctor Bomb for a close 2 …. Dragunov hits Ode to Constantine (tiger feint kick into a discus lariat) but can only get 2 ….

The Bloodlines music hits and here comes UWF World Champion Roman Reigns along with Paul Heyman, Solo Sikoa and the USOs ….
Reigns tells the crowd “ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” …. Reigns says there has been an injustice and their High Chief has been betrayed …. He’s a great leader, and everything he’s done he has done to elevate his family …. Reigns talks about having a responsibility and burden to lead, and says he’s the only one that can do it …. He also tried to elevate the Tongans …. King Tonga could never bear the burden he bears …. Reigns says because of HIS family, King Tonga’s family has a place in this business and they turned their backs on the Anoa’i …. He gave them opportunity after opportunity to stay on the Island of Relevancy, to be of service to their High Chief, and they spat in his face! …. All they had to do is pay tribute to their High Chief, but they broke their blood oath to his family, and now the price they have to pay to settle this issue is blood …. You think this is a game? This is our life! This is our WHOLE lives! There ain’t no going back from this …. So this is how we are going to settle it …. WAR GAMES!!!!
Reigns says the last time the Bloodline stepped foot in War Games, they wrecked the Undisputed Era and no one has seen them in MLW or anywhere else in over a year ….
Now the Guerrillas of Destiny music hits! Here comes Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Hikuleo led by King Tonga …. Tama Tonga says that the Tongan bloodline runs deep too …. You talk about disrespect, well Roman disrespected him and his brother …. They are proud and they aren’t anyone’s lapdogs …. Tama showed everyone that he ain’t gonna take Reigns’ shit …. Reigns just laughs …. He showed Tama how insignificant he is at the Bash, so much so that it took his daddy to pull Reigns off him …. Well, at War Games there is not going to be anyone to pull Reigns or the Bloodline off of them …. The Tongans and their King will Acknowledge him as the High Chief, then the Tongans will go away for good ….
