Main Event: MLW’s Jacob Fatu vs Dragon Gate’s Ben-K
Both men started the match by sizing each other up. The crowd was into it, cheering for Jacob Fatu. The action started picking up when Fatu hit a triple springboard moonsault on Ben-K, who rolled out of the ring to the outside. Jacob followed him outside while the crowd continues to chant “Fatu”. Fatu goes into the ring with a chair and slipped off the top rope while trying to do a high flying move. Fatu was favoring his right knee, but was still able to continue controlling the action. Ben-K had a comeback by hitting a spear on Fatu. Ben-K then takes Fatu from top rope and hits a jackhammer for a near fall. This match comes to a close when Fatu hits a double spring moonsault to pick up the 3 count and the win.
Result: Jacob Fatu defeated Ben-K via pinfall.
Fatu grabs the mic and starts talking to the crowd in Philly. He thanks Ben-K, saying “he is one of the toughest cats!” Fatu hands the mic to Ben-K, who thanked him and the crowd. Fatu takes the mic back and talks about his family history and how he’s coming for the gold. He turns to Hammerstone who is still at ringside, and the program ends with them staring each other down. This was nice way to end the show, promoting the MLW Superfight Main Event on February 4, 2023 from 2300 arena in Philadelphia, PA.
