From FIGHTLAND #30:
*** FOOTAGE FROM AFTER THE SHOW GOES OFF THE AIR ***
Here come security to try to prevent any kind of altercation, but you know where this is headed …. The Tongans attack security!!!! Meng chokes out one with the Tongan Death grip, while Hikuleo throws a couple into the crowd …. The Samoans leave the ring but security stands in their way, AND THEY START FIGHTING SECURITY AS WELL!!!! Security is laid out everywhere, and the Samoans and Tongans meet in the aisle and start brawling!!!! King Tonga and Roman are face to face amidst the bodies, but here comes MORE security to break it up before they can touch!!!! Roman and Meng turn and start laying out more security but here is Jey Uso to fly over the top rope to take out the group of bodies!!!! Finally the entire locker room has emptied and they are able to get the two groups separated ….
* * * * * END PROLOGUE * * * * * * * * * * SHOW OPENING * * * * *
We are in New Jersey as MLW has come to the campus of Rutgers University at the JERSEY MIKE’s ARENA and the crowd is standing-room-only ….
MAURO RENALLO and PAT MCAFEE are your announcers, and they welcome the viewing audience and set up the show …. Mauro and Pat talk about the footage and the wild brawl after the show went off the air …. They don’t know if the War Games double cage can contain these two factions as the Tongans have risen up against the Bloodline ….
*** IN THE BACK ***
Continuing where they left off last week, the Tongan Uprising are making their way through the arena, attacking random people in the back including wrestlers, producers and other backstage personnel …. Tama Tonga is calling for the Bloodline as they tear through the backstage …. They are met by Trump and his Secret Service and he orders them to stop the rampage or the deal is off …. Tonight it’s going to be the Guerrillas vs. Bloodline and the winners get the advantage in War Games …. Tama asks Trump if he thinks they give a shit about some ‘advantage’ …. Tama says they showed at the Bash what they are all about, and they are going to do Trump a favor and bring down the Bloodline ….

Winner gets a UWF Junior Heavyweight title Match at the Bash in Puerto Rico
JOHNNY GARGANO
-vs-
ILJA DRAGUNOV
-vs-
BUDDY MURPHY
-vs-
‘Bruiserweight’ PETE DUNNEBalls to the wall action here as all 4 men are all over the place …. Murphy and Dragunov continue their bad blood, fighting up the aisle and onto the stage …. In the ring, Dunne snaps Garganos fingers and hits the Bitter End, but Dragunov makes it back to the ring just in time to break up the pin …. Dragunov and Murphy now fight in the ring, with Ilja avoiding the curb stomp and hitting the Torpedo Moscow out of nowhere! 1 … 2 … Dunne pulls the ref out of the ring right before 3! Dunne to the apron but Gargano takes him out with a slingshot spear, then hits One Final Beat on Murphy as he’s getting up for the 3 count! Gargano Will face Ospreay at the Bash in Puerto Rico! ….</p></center>
*** IN THE BACK ***
Charly is outside the Bloodline locker room and knocks on the door …. She asks Reigns if he’s concerned about War Games hurting his ability to defend his title on the Great American Bash tour …. Reigns isn’t worried because he’s the best there is …. Shawn Michaels, Matt Riddle, Austin Idol, it doesn’t matter …. The Iron Shiek wants to invoke the name of the High Chief? The Bloodline put him in his place …. Eddie Guerrero wants to step to Reigns? The Bloodline already destroyed his ‘Familia’ …. Lead em in and watch em all get slaughtered …. I’m operating in GOD mode right now because losing is not in his makeup; it’s not in his DNA …. Can’t nobody in the UWF touch me, so July is gonna be the time the entire UWF comes to the Island of Relevancy ….
As far as the Tongans go, Reigns has already said all there is to say. They will pay in blood for their betrayal, as is tribal law ….

WILLOW NIGHTENGALE
-vs-
MANDY ROSE w/ Gigi Dolin & Jacy JaynePat & Mauro talk about Willow as she has recently signed to MLW …. The crowd is solidly behind her early on because of having a goofy, fun-loving spirit and because she is unafraid of gritty toughness …. Nightingale overpowers Mandy early and Mandy runs into her for a shoulder block but she goes down …. Willow with a spinning belly to back suplex. Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin get involved, allowing Mandy to take over but Willow fights back with a spinebuster …. She goes to the middle rope and hits a missile dropkick for 2! She goes for the Cannonball in the corner but Mandy moves out of the way! Mandy goes for the bicycle knee but Willow counters with the POUNCE! Mandy is in the corner and Willow sets for the Cannonball but Dolin is on the apron …. Willow knocks her down with a forearm, but this allows Mandy to connect with the bicycle knee right to the jaw and get the 3 count …. </p></center>
*** IN THE BACK ***
AJ Styles goes into Trumps office and says he’s undefeated since he came to MLW …. He should be on TV every week against the best competition …. He wants a match at the Great American Bash …. Trump agrees …. Hangman Page walks in and says that’s a great idea …. He doesn’t have a match either, and frankly he’s getting a little sick of watching in the back …. He challenges AJ to fight him at the Bash …. AJ says you’re on!
Up next, former UWF women’s champion Deonna Purazzo comes out accompanied by SoCal Val and the newly formed (VAL)KYRIE …. Purazzo is pissed …. She was never afraid of Rhea Ripley …. In fact, she submitted Rhea Ripley in Boston just like she said she was going to, and she did it all by herself …. Then what happens? The UWF forced her to fly on a red eye flight to Australia and face Ripley again! She didn’t find out it was a cage match until right before the show started …. She was still jet-lagged!!!! Deonna says she should have never had to fight Rhea again and it’s a conspiracy by the UWF Board that she lost her title …. SoCal Val says the UWF offices will be hearing from their lawyers …. And Toni Storm? You are going to pay for sticking your nose in (VAL)KYRIE’s business!!!!
Britt Baker’s music hits!!!! The MLW women’s champ comes out and she’s all smiles …. Britt gets a face pop because the crowd DOES NOT like (VAL)KYRIE …. Britt says it serves Deonna right because she knew she couldn’t stand on her own and she wanted to use (VAL)KYRIE as a shield …. Deonna says these are her friends, but meanwhile Baker is by herself and always will be …. Deonna is the greatest MLW women’s champion AND the greatest UWF world champion in history, but Britt is the biggest bust in the womens division …. The MLW women’s title has lost value since Baker won it ….
Baker takes a shot at Deonna, but (VAL)KYRIE quickly jump Britt and put the boots to her! No one comes to Bakers aid, and Deonna eventually calls off the dogs so she can have Britt to herself …. She locks on Venus De Milo and cranks it back!!!! Baker is screaming in pain, but she’s all alone …. The ref finally gets Deonna to let go, and (VAL)KYRIE leave Britt Baker laid out ….
*** IN THE BACK ***
MLW tag team champions Jay & Mark Briscoe are in the back …. They talk about War Games coming up and they want a piece of the Samoans AND the Tongans so they need to leave a little piece of each other for Dem Boys ….
The Young Bucks come in and interrupt, cocky as ever …. They talk about being back and mixing it up with the Briscoes during Battle Riot …. They want a match with the Briscoes to show they are a better tag team …. Jay agrees to the match, and says if they beat them then they can get a tag title shot ….
Up next, Drew Gulak comes out in a suit and tie …
Gulak cuts a promo about how they have tried to keep him out of MLW …. He introduces Julius & Brutus Creed, and says like him they are a throwback …. They represent the sport this business was built on …. 2 heavyweight athletes at the peak of their youth, who also happen to be brothers. Both are 2x NCAA All-Americans. Brutus Creed is also a 3x Academic All-American, while Julius Creed ended his final year in amateur wrestling with a perfect 30-0 record ….
Gulak shits on MLW and it’s tag team division, saying it’s nothing but a bunch of high spot trampoline cowboys …. And it’s all the fans fault! The modern wrestling culture doesn’t respect the true origins of the SPORT of professional wrestling …. And it makes him sick! Flashy moves and flips and dives, are NOT what wrestling is about! The 3 of them represent a philosophy that is going to call back to the origins of Catch wrestling …. They are what wrestling should be because wrestling in its purest form is beautiful …. Violent …. it’s about technical wrestling, and anything other than that is an insult ….

JULIUS & BRUTUS CREED w/ Drew Gulak
-vs-
THE RASCALZ (Wes Lee & Zachary Wentz)Just like Gulak said, the Creeds are not flashy and provide a stark contrast to the high flying style of the Rascalz …. Every time they try to take to the air, the Creeds ground them …. The Rascalz get their chance when Brutus misses a corner attack crashes into the turnbuckle …. Wentz gets the hot tag and runs wild, dispatching both Creeds to the floor and they hit an assisted moonsault off the apron onto them on the floor …. Lee to the top and hits a twisting splash for on Julius but Brutus breaks up the pin …. Brutus with an exploder takes out Wentz, but Lee with a knee to the back of Brutus knocks him out of the ring …. Cardiac kick to Julius but he kicks out at 2! Lee to the top and dives off, only to be caught and powerslammed to the mat! Julius drills Lee with the unnecessary clothesline (seated lariat) and pins him for the 3!</p></center>
POST MATCH: Gulak can be heard saying ‘I told you so’ and insisting that the reckless style of the Rascalz was their undoing while the methodical style of his ideology won out ….

Openweight Title Match:
(Champion) WILL OSPREAY
-vs-
SHEAMUSSheamus attacks off the bat and tosses Ospreay to the floor …. He gives him the beats of the Bodrhan on the ring barricade but Ospreay with a back elbow and then dives off the barricade with the Pip Pip Cherio …. Sasuke special wipes Sheamus out and Ospreay is in control …. Ospreay to the top but Sheamus cuts him off and hits White Noise from the 2nd rope! Ospreay kicks out at 2! …. Ospreay fires back with strikes, and is actually getting some cheers …. Ospreay with the handspring enziguri and both men are down …. Ospreay rolls to the apron, but Pip Pip Cherio is countered with a knee lift from Sheamus! Sheamus sets for the Brogue, but Ospreay side steps and hits him with the hook kick! Os-cutter countered and Sheamus murders Ospreay with a lariat! Sheamus charges but runs into the standing Spanish fly! 1 … 2 … Nooooo! Kick out! Ospreay drops the elbow pad but misses the hidden blade! Brogue kick! Ospreay is knocked to the floor! Sheamus follows and they fight on the apron …. OS-CUTTER OFF THE RINGPOST ON THE APRON!!!! Ospreay goes for Stormbreaker, but Sheamus escapes …. Hidden Blade misses and takes out the ref! Ospreay with a hook kick and then a hidden blade! He goes for Stoembreaker again, but Sheamus with the Irish Curse backbreaker! Firery Red Hand! Sheamus covers as the ref rolls back in the ring! 1 … 2 … the ref is pulled to the floor by ….
JEFF COBB?!?!?
Sheamus is stunned by this, but the distraction allows Ospreay to KILL Sheamus with the Hidden Blade! Sheamus is toast, and Ospreay picks him up and drills him with Stormbreaker! 1 … 2 … 3! Ospreay retains!</p></center>
*** IN THE BACK ***
Charly Caruso catches up with Will Ospreay as he and Jeff Cobb come back through the curtain …. He stops her before she can say anything ….
OSPREAY: “Let me guess. Youre going to ask me ‘why’? Why is this man here? It’s very simple: Donald Trump has invested a lot of time and money in me, and I’ve rewarded that by bringing championships to MLW. So I did Trump a favor and found someone to watch my back and protect his investment. Who better to be the first brick in MY new Empire? Brick by brick, with every championship and every victory I’m going to build it. Make no mistake, when people talk about coming to MLW to face the best, they aren’t talking about Roman Reigns, they are talking about fucking Will Ospreay!!!! I’m already the ‘Ace’, but hell, at this point you can pretty much call me the Commonwealth Kingpin. And I’ve always got an ace up my sleeve.” <center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">
Winning Team receives the War Games advantage:
THE BLOODLINE (Jimmy & Jey Uso + Solo Sikoa)
-vs-
GUERRILLAS OF DESTINY (Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa & Hikuleo)Jey & Tama start off, with both men quickly tagging in and out to their brothers …. The Tongans get heat on Jimmy, but when Hikuleo is tagged in Jimmy is able to tag Solo …. This gets us a big staredown between the heavy hitters of the groups …. They start throwing hands, with Hikuleo getting the advantage at first but Solo firing back with a spinning wheel kick to take him off his feet …. Tonga Loa comes in and the Bloodline maintain the advantage, but Hikuleo grabs Jey and choke slams him on the apron and the Tongans take over …. Jey makes the hot tag to Jimmy, who comes in and runs wild …. The action breaks down from here …. The USOs take Hikuleo out with a dive to the floor …. g.O.d put Solo through the announce table with the Magic Killer! Back in the ring Tama Tonga eats a superkick but Tonga Loa tosses Jey …. He sets Jimmy on the top rope for the Super-plex, but Jey makes a blind tag …. Loa hits the Super-plex to Jimmy but at the same time here comes Jey from the opposite buckle with a perfectly timed Uso splash to Loa as he hits the mat! Jey hooks the leg … 1 … 2 … 3!!!!</p></center>
The Bloodline win the match, and now have the man advantage in War Games …. Solo and the USOs back up the ramp as they stare down the Tongans with the announcers hyping the Great American Bash coming from Puerto Rico ….
