The show opens with Raven and The Calling video speaking to Jacob Fatu and the rest of The Samoan Swat Team. He tells them they should have listened and joined him. Now they have to pay. Rickey Shane Page cuts a promo on Jacob Fatu. We end the video showing Lance Anoai being attacked at the end of last week’s show while Juicy Finau was locked in a building.

We go into the intro music for the show. This show is coming from Tijuana, Mexico. The announce team is Joe Dombrowski and Christian Cole. Dombrowski goes over what is coming up on the show, including an update on Lance Anoai, new matches for MLW Fury Road on September 3rd, and Alex Hammerstone will be taking on Danny Limelight. The opening contest is a fatal four-way tag team match. Introductions of all four teams are done.

 

Fantastik & Rayo vs. Lucha Solos vs. Los Macizos vs. Anton Carillo & Extassis:

The match begins, and Willie Mack joins the commentary team. Lucha Solos perform a backflip off the top rope from opposite sides of the ring onto their opponents outside the ring as we go to a commercial break.

There were a few botches in the early going of the match; however, it then got going. It was a typical fast-paced and high-flying luchador match. Multiple weapons were used in the match by all teams, including frying pans, chairs, tables, and panes of glass. Ultimately, Los Macios picked up the victory.

Result: Los Macizos defeats Fantastik & Rayo, Lucha Solos, and Anton Carillo & Extassis

 

We go to an area with an MLW backdrop set up and stage crew members talking when Love, Doug interrupts and brings the cameraman to a place of rooms with closed doors. He has a guitar in his hands and knocks on a door. B3CCA answers the door and calls for security. Love, Doug said he has a gift for B3CCA, a handcrafted guitar from Spain. B3CCA appears to be interested and said she’ll take it. She tells Love, Doug maybe they can talk sometime. She then yells some other time as she slams the door in his face.

Dombrowski hypes up the main event match tonight between Alex Hammerstone and Danny Limelight. We go to a commercial break.

This next portion of the show is brought to us by Betonline.ag. We are given matches for MLW Fury Road. Also announced is a Sessions By Saint Laurent talk show segment live at Fury Road with a mystery guest.

Dombrowski promoted the Kiss My Foot Match between Mance Warner and Matt Cardona at MLW Fury Road.

A replay is shown of Lance Anoai being attacked by The Calling. Dombrowski said cameras caught up with Jacob Fatu. Fatu is outside in the parking lot, visibly upset. He says let’s keep it 100, at the end of the day in real life, I will dog walk your as*. The body count is just about to start to rise.

It is main event time. Danny Limelight comes to the ring first, grabs the mic, and cuts a promo. He calls out Hammerstone. A video comes on of The Calling. RSP asks Akira if he remembers attacking Lance the last time they were in Mexico. He tells Akira he’s hungry, and Akira says he is pretty hungry as well. They tell Raven they want a steak. Raven tells Dr. Cornelius to cook the meat. He begins to cook it with a blowtorch. Mandy Leon is in the background but doesn’t speak. Back to the ring, Alex Hammerstone is already there. MLW appears to have used this video to hide Hammerstone’s entrance, as he was MLW Champion at the time of this match.

 

Alex Hammerstone vs. Danny Limelight:

Limelight comes out quickly, trying to attack and take an early advantage; however, Hammerstone’s strength is too much. Hammerstone goes for a splash in the corner but misses. Limelight starts targeting Hammerstone’s leg as we go to a commercial break.

Back from the break, Limelight is still in control and continues to work Hammerstone’s knee and leg. Hammerstone attempts to make a comeback by doing a bench press into an unagi, causing his knee to buckle. Both wrestlers are up, and Hammerstone hits a power slam for a two-count. Limelight comes back with a big boot sending Hammerstone over the top rope. Limelight then performs a flying twist over the top rope onto Hammerstone.

Limelight hits a frog splash for a two-count. Then he goes for a choke attempt, but Hammerstone slips it. Hammerstone goes for a nightmare pendulum; however, Limelight knees Hammerstone’s head to get out. Limelight gets Hammer in a half-crab that Hammerstone battles his way out. Limelight goes for a swinging DDT from the top rope, but Hammerstone catches him and turns it into the nightmare pendulum for the three-count.
