* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PROLOGUE * * * * *
EARLIER TODAY:
Charly Caruso is outside the arena waiting on the arrival of the Bloodlinr when a Mercedes-Benz Maybach pulls up and out steps …
MERCEDES MONE ….
Charly takes the opportunity to ask her if she is ready to comment on recent events, and Mercedes says Charly isn’t going to leave her alone …. She says the villain is always the villain when the hero is telling the story …. She reached out to someone she thought was her friend, but in true Charlotte Flair fashion she made it all about herself …. We got the same old Charlotte because she is incapable of sharing the spotlight with anyone! But the fact is, they aren’t on the same level anymore because Mercedes is better than her! And she’s tired of carrying people like Charlotte and Bayley! Because I’m not just the Boss anymore …. Anyone can be someone’s boss …. Nah, now I’m the CEO …. I’m the top 1% of this women’s division or ANY women’s division, and it’s time to start looking out for #1 …. She says she’s gunning for the MLW women’s title, but we hear someone clear their throat off camera …. In walks Deonna Purazzo & SoCal Val into camera view!
Deonna Purazzo says that maybe they can help each other …. Deonna is getting her one on one title shot against AJ Lee at MLW Superfight …. Buuuuuut, hypothetically if Mercedes were to take out AJ Lee before then, Deonna will make sure she gets the first title shot when she’s champion …. Mercedes seems to be thinking about it as Deonna leaves ….
* * * * * END PROLOGUE * * * * * * * * * * SHOW OPENING * * * * * We are inside the MLW Arena on the campus of Rutgers University (JERSEY MIKE’s ARENA) and the crowd is standing-room-only ….
MAURO RANALLO and WADE BARRETT are your announcers, and they welcome the viewing audience and set up the show …. Mauro and Wade Barrett welcome everyone to this weeks MLW …. The Bloodline music hits to start us off this week as out comes Roman Reigns & Paul Heyman …. We recap Reigns’ comments on FIGHTLAND about facing Raven for the World title at Wrestlemania….Reigns has the mic …. REIGNS: “This is normally the part where I come out here and give you a chance to Acknowledge your High Chief. But tonight is a little different. Tonight …. We deal with the family business.
2 Years ago I signed the biggest contract in MLW history, but I didn’t just come by myself. I brought my entire Bloodline with me. I brought The USOs, I brought Solo, and from day one everything I’ve done has been to elevate our entire family. But now Matt feels some type of way about those plans not including him. You might be the big brother, but you were NEVER built to sit at the Head of the Table. The elders chose ME …. Our own father chose ME! You couldn’t live with that! We aren’t kids anymore, Matt. This is our whole lives now! And you tried to take away the way I provide for this family! You tried to deny me my destiny by becoming a lapdog to the Conspiracy. THE ANOA’I ARE NO ONES LAPDOGS! You took away the UWF world title from me, and still I tried to show you grace. I tried to turn the other cheek because you’re my brother. But you still want to fight me. And at this point, Matt, I want to fight you too. Make no mistake, no matter what happens tonight, I WILL main event Wrestlemania. And I WILL become the UWF world heavyweight champion for the 2nd time! It didn’t have to be this way, Matt. It didn’t have to be this way, but now this is the ONLY way! Tonight, I’m gonna show you exactly what it takes to lead this family. And I promise, you will …. ACKNOWLEDGE ME!”Reigns’ music hits and he leaves the ring to walk off, but Solo remains in the ring …. Reigns stops and looks confused by this, and he looks at Heyman and asks what Solo is doing …. Solo stands there for a minute and looks down at the microphone laying on the mat and picks it up …. Solo challenges Jon Moxley to fight him at MLW Superfight! The Bloodline music hits again, but Reigns is looking at Solo with a mix of anger and confusion …. *** IN THE BACK ***
Matt Riddle is with Charly Caruso in the back …. We replay what Riddle did to Ricochet on FIGHTLAND, knocking him out with a Final Flash knee that dislocated Ricochets jaw ….
Charly asks if Riddle has any remorse for what happened and Riddle says he’s a fighter and you have to risk it all to play this game …. He’s not at fault for what happened to Ricochet …. Ricochet wanted attention and now everyone is talking about him so, you’re welcome Bro …. He says he doesn’t care because this ain’t ballet …. he did what he is paid to do ….
Riddle is interrupted by Keith Lee! Lee says he’s friends with both Riddle and Ricochet and he doesn’t approve of Riddle’s attitude because he’s not acting like himself …. Riddle says he’s a fighter, so they can talk about it or they can fight about it …. Lee says if Riddle is challenging him to a fight, then he accepts ….

KONOSUKE TAKESHITA
-vs-
ANDRADE EL IDOLO w/ Rush & Salina De La Renta
Takeshita continues to be impressive, pushing Andrade to the limit here …. The Japanese star gets several close finishes after hitting a blue thunder bomb, then another after almost submitting him with the Walls of Takeshita (Lion Tamer) …. Andrade comes back with a moonsault but misses, lands on his feet then hits a standing moonsault for 2! Andrade hits the Meteora in the corner but Takeshita comes back with a blue thunder Bomb for a 2.9999 …. Andrade misses a big boot but in the same move drills Takeshita with a spinning back elbow strike, knocking him silly and setting him up for the El Idolo DDT (hammerlock DDT) for the win ….</p></center>
*** IN THE BACK ***
MLW champion AJ Lee cuts a promo in the back ….
AJ: “What? No love for your MLW women’s champion? I heard what Deonna & Mercedes said earlier, and that’s and that’s a shame. Mercedes, you were one of the few people on this roster I actually respected. You’re a great wrestler. It’s just too bad such a great wrestler just sucks at life. But far be it from me to step away from any challenge because I’ve said from day 1 I was going to make this title THE title in women’s wrestling. You see, I am the definition of a pro wrestler, so Mercedes if you want a match on FIGHTLAND then I accept. And Deonna, I haven’t forgotten about you either. So I hope you’re watching real close because I’m going to show you exactly what is in your future at MLW SUPERFIGHT!” ….
Up next, Bomaye Fight Club comes out …. Julius Creed doesn’t even wait for Drew Gulak to cut a promo, and he grabs a mic himself and calls out the House of Black …. Nothing was settled on FIGHTLAND and this fight ain’t over …. The House of Black hasn’t paid the dues that the Creeds have paid. They aren’t collegiate all Americans or national champions ….
Instead, the Young Bucks come out to a mixed reaction …. Julius says the Bucks don’t belong because they lost to the House of Black on FIGHTLAND …. The Bucks say that might be true, but the Creeds have never beaten them …. They can’t be fighting for titles if they can’t beat the Bucks because the Bucks are the gatekeepers of the tag team division …. Gulak takes the mic and says they will settle it in the ring tonight ….
*** IN THE BACK ***
We are in the Bloodlines locker room …. Reigns is in the middle of telling Solo that he doesn’t need any distractions right now …. He says Solo keeps overstepping his bounds …. Solo says this is something he’s got to do …. He tells Reigns to let him take Moxley off the board ….
The USOs then try to hype up Reigns, and Jey tells him not to worry, they got his back tonight …. Reigns tells them NO, he doesn’t want them out there tonight …. He is going to the ring to face Matt alone …. Jimmy asks if he’s sure and Reigns again says he wants them to stay in the back …. Heyman talks to Reigns, telling him that when he looks across the ring tonight he doesn’t need to see his brother, he needs to see Scott Levy …. Because Raven is the reason he has to fight his brother tonight …. Reigns looks angry and nods in acknowledgment ….
<center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">
MATT RIDDLE
-vs-
‘Limitless’ KEITH LEE
Riddle approaches this like a fighter, shooting for a takedown right off the bat but Lee tosses him aside …. Lee caves in Riddle’s chest with the Grizzly Magnum double chop, but Riddle fires back with a Karelin suplex followed by a Bro-ton …. Lee comes back and wipes Riddle out with the low body block off the leapfrog, then hits a dive over the top to the floor! Riddle fights free and lays in kicks and knee strikes, then the running Superman forearms in the corner …. Lee explodes with the POUNCE and sends Riddle flying across the ring!!!! Riddle escapes the Spirit Bomb and hits a ripcord knee strike, then powerbombs Lee getting an enormous pop from the crowd! He pulls him up to his knees and drills him with a final flash! 1 … 2 … Lee kicks out!!!! Lee is woozy, and Riddle traps the arms and starts raining down the hammer & anvil elbow strikes to Lee’s head!!!! …. The ref steps in and stops the match!!!! ….</p></center>
Riddle continues to show no remorse as the trainers check on Keith Lee …. Riddle just walks to the back ….
*** VIDEO PACKAGE ***
We get a video promoting Wrestlemania coming up from AT&T stadium in Dallas, Texas ….
We are on the road to Wrestlemania and a hype video airs for MLW’s Road to Wrestlemania special, entitled MLW: Superfight from New Orleans, Louisiana …. Matches already announced for the show include:
No time limit: Kenny Omega vs. Kurt Angle
Deonna Purazzo challenges AJ Lee for the MLW Women’s title
JUST MADE OFFICIAL: Solo Sikoa vs. Jon Moxley
…. And more! *** IN THE BACK ***
The promo is followed up with comments from both Kenny Omega and Kurt Angle …. Omega talks about how Angle may be a gold medalist, but Omega is a walking 5 star machine …. He will show Angle why he’s the ‘Best Bout Machine’ …. Cut to Angle, who says he doesn’t give a shit how many stars some dirt sheet writer gave one of his matches …. Does he have an Olympic gold medal? Did he win it with a broken freakin’ neck? Angle says that he proved Omega wasn’t in his league last time, and not only is he going to beat him he is going to make him tap out …. It’s True, it’s DAMN true….

BOMAYE FIGHT CLUB (Julius & Brutus Creed) w/ Drew Gulak
-vs-
YOUNG BUCKS (Matt & Nick Jackson)
We get a lot of back and forth to start, with the Bucks showing off their high flying athleticism …. The Creeds counter with their mat wrestling and attack the legs of Nick Jackson and work him over …. Matt gets the hot tag in and runs wild with the Bucks hitting numerous double team moves …. They go for a double superkick but Julius catches BOTH of their foots and locks them both in an ankle lock! The announcers put over that this move was taught to the Creeds by Kurt Angle himself! The Bucks escape and take out Julius, but Brutus clotheslines them down and then grabs an ankle lock on Nick …. Matt tries to break it up, but Brutus grabs him and powerbombs him with one arm while still holding onto the ankle lock! Holy shit!!!! They set Matt up for the Doomsday Brutus Ball but Matt rolls forward into a victory roll and Brutus crashes to the mat! Julius reverses the rollup to end up on top, but Nick with a superkick rolls Matt back on top of Julius into the pin! 1 … 2 … 3! ….</p></center>
That’s a huge win for The Bucks, BUT THE LIGHTS GO OUT! The House of Black are here! Black Mass to Nick Jackson! King Kong lariat to Matt! Murphy with the curb stomp to Julius Creed, and then King and Black hit Dante’s Inferno on Brutus!
HERE COMES CARMELO HAYES & TRICK WILLIAMS!!!! The tag team champions have chairs and clear the ring, and Carmelo takes the mic …. He’s fired up and wants to fight because Malakai blew the mist in his face last week …. Malakai says Hayes’ anger makes him irrational because the champions are outnumbered 3 to 2 … they are lambs to the slaughter …. The tag champions don’t care …. BUT THEN SWERVE STRICKLANDS MUSIC HITS!!!!
To the surprise of everyone, Swerve gets in the corner with the tag champs!!!! Hayes asks Swerve why he’s here, ans Swerve just shrugs …. We’ve got an impromptu match!
<center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">
HOUSE OF BLACK (Malakai Black, Buddy Murphy, Brody King)
-vs-
CARMELO HAYES & TRICK WILLIAMS, SWERVE STRICKLAND
Hayes is out for blood here and he dominates early …. Trick is tagged in but the House turns the tide and works him over …. Trick with the hot tag to Swerve, who gets a HUGE pop …. Swerve takes everyone out, as the crowd is chanting SWERVE’s HOUSE!’ Swerve with the Home Invasion (powerbomb into spinning powerslam) on Murphy, but King breaks it up bringing in all 6 men for a big brawl …. Trick takes out King with the Trick Shot (flying knee), but Black takes him out with the Black Mass! Hayes with the rolling flatliner on Black, and he goes to the top for Nuthin But Net but Julia Hart is on the apron for the distraction …. This allows Black to recover and he digs his thumb into the injured eye of Hayes! King and Black hit Dante’s Inferno! 1 … 2 … 3!</p></center>
House of Black stand tall after the match …. Black sits cross-legged next to Hayes and says the House is coming for the MLW tag team titles ….
*** IN THE BACK ***
Ilja Dragunov approaches Matt Riddle in the trainers room …. Ilja says he respects Riddle because he’s a hell of a fighter and he likes that about him …. Riddle wants to fight, but something he may not know about Dragunov is that he likes pain …. He wonders what would break first …. Riddle stands up and says he’s game to find out …. Dragunov says it will be glorious ….
We get an announcement that UWF Junior Heavyweight Champion WILL OSPREAY will make his return to MLW on FIGHTLAND #42
It is time for the main event, and it’s a big one …. Matt Anoa’i enters through the crowd, but he’s alone …. Next out is Roman Reigns to a thunderous pop, but he isn’t alone …. He is accompanied by 2 surprise spectators ….
It’s Afa & Sika, the Samoan Elders!!!!
<center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">
ROMAN REIGNS
-vs-
MATT ANOA’I
The elders remain at the top of the ramp as the two Samoan brothers are nose to nose to start …. Reigns remains icy calm as they mouth back and forth to each other, but Matt slaps the shit out of Reigns! Reigns responds with a punch and we’ve got a hockey fight in the middle of the ring to start us off! Reigns is sent to the floor and Matt hits an avalanche splash against the ringpost, crushing Reigns …. Matt slams Reigns on the floor and then tries to splash Reigns off the apron but he moves out of the way! Both men stumble to their feet and Reigns scores with the drive by kick!
Matt won’t stay down and reverses a whip sending Reigns into the ring steps! The fight heads into the front row & then into the crowd and beyond …. They brawl into the stands, where Matt ends up busting Reigns open hardway with a shoot headbutt …. They fight precariously in the stands above the sound area, AND MATT TOSSES REIGNS OFF THE BALCONY AND HE CRASHES THROUGH SOME TABLES BELOW!!!!
We get a ‘HOLY SHIT!’ chant from the crowd as medical personnel check on Reigns, but he refuses their help …. Matt comes over and grabs Reigns by the hair and drags him back to the ring, but Roman is pretty much dead weight …. Matt gets in Reigns’ face and screams ….
MATT: “It should have been me!!!! Our father made the wrong choice!”
Matt stands and faces Afa & Sika on the ramp ….
MATT: “The elders chose wrong!!!!”
Matt turns around …. RIGHT INTO A DESPERATION SPEAR FROM REIGNS! Both men are down!!!! Matt rolls to the floor, and he has more sinister punishment in mind as he pulls up the protective mat on the floor, exposing the concrete!!!! Matt scoops Reigns up for a Samoan drop on the concrete, but Reigns fights out with elbows and counters with a DDT on the exposed concrete! The camera zooms in and now Matt is busted open!!!! Reigns tosses Matt back in the ring …. RIGHT HAND OF GOD MODE! Matt staggers but doesn’t go down …. Reigns sets for another one, but Matt catches him as he charges …. HUGE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! Matt immediately to the top rope …. CRUSHES REIGNS WITH THE SAMOAN SPLASH!!!! 1 … 2 … Nooooo!!!! Reigns kicks out, and he low blows Matt on the kickout!
Reigns pulls himself up in the corner …. SPEAR! 1 … 2 … Matt kicks out!!!! Reigns fires up now …. He mounts Matt and starts raining down punches and forearms!
Matt shoves him off, but Reigns crouches …. RIGHT HAND OF GOD MODE CONNECTS! Another spear! Reigns doesn’t cover this time, choosing instead to lock on the Guillotine Choke! Matt is fading, and the ref moves in to check on him but Reigns releases the hold and stops the ref from signaling for the bell!
REIGNS: “NO! YOU DON’T GET OFF THAT EASY!”
Reigns pummels Matt with elbows ….
REIGNS: “Matt …. Acknowledge Me!”
More elbows and punches …. Reigns screams out!!!!
REIGNS: “ACKNOWLEDGE ME!!!!”
The beating is becoming uncomfortable to watch, so much so that even Heyman asks Reigns to show mercy ….
HEYMAN: “My High Chief … please! That’s enough!”
Reigns stands up and makes a move at Heyman, who immediately drops back to the floor ….
REIGNS: “NO! HE HAD HIS CHANCE! NOW IT’S NOT OVER UNTIL I SAY IT’S OVER!”
Reigns drags Matt to his feet …. Matt’s left eye is completely swollen shut. Reigns looks to the top of the stage, where his father AFA & uncle SIKA are watching …. Sika has a pained look on his face but he gives Reigns the nod, then looks away …. Reigns gets in Matt’s face ….
REIGNS: “ACKNOWLEDGE ME!!!!”
Reigns hits the ropes twice, building up speed to hit the super spear!!!! Mercifully, Reigns hooks the leg and gets the 3 count …. </p></center>
POST MATCH: Reigns looks down at his brother for a long time, but finally leaves the ring ….
Reigns approaches the Samoan elders at the top of the ramp, and his father Sika stands to greet him …. Sika has the Ula Fala of the Anoa’i family and he bestows it upon Reigns once again, just like he did at Wrestlemania last year ….
Reigns, Heyman and the Elders stand tall at the top of the ramp ….
REIGNS: “Raven …. There is only one thing left. At Wrestlemania …. YOU … WILL … ACKNOWLEDGE ME!!!!”
