MLW’s Underground Wrestling premiered on Reelz Tuesday night with the highly anticipated Last Man Standing Match between Champion Alex Hammerstone & EJ Nduka. Here are the results from this show.
The show opens with Matt Striker in the ring introducing Jacob Fatu. They cut to a clip showing how Fatu won the Battle Riot match to secure himself a championship title match. Fatu takes the mic and said how he loves being back in Philly. He states he wants his title match against Hammerstone at the Superfight Event in Philly.
Real 1 interrupts saying how he really won the Battle Riot. He starts insulting the fans, Fatu, and his family. He said Jacob’s family are all bitches and he is a poor version of Rikishi. Jacob heard enough and came out of the ring to confront him. Officials were able to get down to the ring in time to keep them apart and walk Fatu up the ramp to the back. This is while the crowd is chanting “Fatu’s gonna get you”!
Real 1 continues to run his mouth in the ring and insult the fans. With that, Mance Warner comes down to the ring. The crowd is excited to see Mance and start chanting “Mancer”. Real 1 goes to the outside of the ring and keeps talking. With persistence from the crowd, Real 1 reluctantly gets into the ring for a match with Warner.

The bell rings and Warner hits Real 1 with one shot and knocks him out. The referee calls for the bell and the match is over. They go to a commercial break. Coming back from the commercial break, Real 1 is still at ringside upset and throwing chairs into the ring before finally making his way up the ramp to the back.
We then get a video package showing the history of Alex Hammerstone & EJ Nduka and what brought us to this Main Event match tonight.
Alex Kane & The Bomaye Fight Club come down to the ring. We get a recap of how the Opera Cup was stolen and now is in Kane’s possession. Kane gets on the mic and starts cutting a promo. He takes out a Philly cheese steak and proceeds to go outside the ring and slap a fan in the face with it that said he sucks. He then circles around and goes back to the fan to beat up on him some more before entering the ring again.
Kane says the Bomaye Fight Club finally has his Opera Cup because it is his tournament. He brings out envelopes of cash and challenges anyone in the back to come out who wants this work. The Marvelous Jafar makes his way out.

Kane attacks him before the bell. He hits him with suplex after suplex and various versions of them. Jafar struggles to get to his feet and gets grabbed for an Exploder suplex into the turnbuckles, the ref stops the match. This does not stop Kane from hitting a German suplex before kicking him out to the floor.
Kane said he’s just getting warmed up, who else wants to get what he got? Davey Boy Smith Jr comes out and takes out the Bomaye Fight Club one by one. However Myron Reed comes out from the back and attacks Smith. The Billington Bulldogs come to Smith’s defense, as it becomes a full brawl with officials coming down a second time to ringside to now try to break this fight up. We go to a commercial break.

We then see a clip of AO– join or die. Mads Krugger is down in backstage area with an OV calling card on his chest.
