MLW gets ready to RELOAD with 2025! We’re back, deep in the heart of Texas as Dallas is sold out for a stacked card on a Saturday! The festivities kick off with your NEW MLW World Heavyweight Champion Matt Riddle! Riddle is soon joined by his Filthy Bro Tom Lawlor and they say 2025 is indeed their year! They end up getting gang attacked by Mads Krugger and CONTRA Unit! The Filthy Bros fend them off as Lawlor has a fight with Suzuki later on!
We see Virus ready for his own fight as out comes Cesar Duran. He’s got a new luchador in his hostler as he introduces a debuting Neon!
MATCH 1
Virus vs. Neon
Virus shows his veteran savvy against Neon, but it was the debuting youngster who ends up getting the win after hitting an inverted senton from up top!
WINNER: Neon
We see AKIRA. He’s brooding and he reveals that ‘The Death Fighter’ is dead and here rises the ‘Psycho Samurai!’
MATCH 2
Shigeo Okumura vs. Dark Panther
These veterans felt one another out and it was all about strategy. Dark Panther shows his innovative style for lucha (and his power) but the MLW Tag Champion ultimately gets the victory!
WINNERS: Shigeo Okumura
Speaking of Tag Champion, Okumura’s partner Satoshi Kojima is backstage and is approached by Minoru Suzuki and CONTRA. He offers an alliance to his rival and Kojima walks off.
And speaking of alliances, Paul Walter Hauser approaches his mentor in pro wrestling, Paul London. PWH makes clear there’s so much chaos going on but they got one another’s backs.
Eric Bischoff WILL be at MLW SuperFight on February 8!
MATCH 3
Ariel Dominguez vs. Bobby Fish
This was styles make fights for sure as Dominguez showed his fortitude against the Rogue Horsemen, but Fish finally cinched in a leg lock to cause Dominguez to tap.
WINNER: Bobby Fish
Neon is recuperating from his hard fought debut against Virus. Who approaches him but Middleweight Champion Mistico. He congratulates him on the win and looks forward to partnering up.
Backstage, we see Matt Riddle with Tom Lawlor. The Filthy Bros reflects on Matt’s recent journey back to MLW but Riddle notes this match tonight has been seven years in the making. Lawlor clearly respects the work Riddle has done to get to where he is and The Super King Of Bros looks ready to go tonight.
MATCH 4
The Andersons vs. Paul London & Paul Walter Hauser
Paul Squared starts off hot as they take both Brock and CW down, but a line is drawn in the canvas. The Andersons end up isolating PWH and BRG relishes it all on commentary. Chaos unfolds as the Horsemen get involved but so does BOMAYE Fight Club! Ultimately Bobby Fish pulls London out of the ring and Brock nails an Enforcer DDT for the 1-2-3!
WINNER: The Andersons
We cut to Salina de la Renta, Cesar Duran and Jesus Rodriguez. The trio make the plea to return D’Oro safely and they have a large sum of money in store for his captors.
We cut to the Rogue Horsemen celebrating with some cold ones backstage. The foursome are in a damn good mood.
MATCH 5
Alejandra Quintallia vs. Persephone
Quintallia is game for a grapple and both Featherweights show their athleticism but a massive powerbomb and a springboard splash gets Persephone the win.
WINNER: Persephone
Alex Kane makes it perfectly clear at SuperFight that he plans to regain that MLW World Title and that he plans to get his hands on Eric Bischoff, the man who fired him!
Back to the ring, out comes Tom Lawlor for his fight against Suzuki. However, instead of Minoru we get MSL who has a contract in his hand, which is supposedly for a match against Dijak. MSL takes a second to disparage the Dallas crowd and Tom makes him pay with a shot to the gut! Dijak tries to ambush but Lawlor scouts it. Order is restored and we finally get the match between Lawlor and Suzuki!
MATCH 6
Tom Lawlor vs. Minoru Suzuki
Suzuki offers Tom some free shots as Lawlor tries to chop the legend down, but Suzuki shows his strength. Chops and punches are traded a-plenty in this one as it’s indeed filthy. Meanwhile, Kojima makes his answer clear to CONTRA as he takes out the Sentai Death Squad with a steel chair. Lawlor manages to get Suzuki down on the mat, climbs up top and launches off with a forearm right to Minoru’s mush! 1-2-3!
WINNER: Tom Lawlor
Post-fight, Lawlor lets the world know that he wants a piece of Dijak at SuperFight!
It’s main event time.
MAIN EVENT
2 Out Of 3 Falls
MLW World Middleweight Championship
Bárbaro Cavernario vs. Mistico (c)
These two know one another very well but it’s Cavernario who gets the first fall with a big body splash utilizing the ropes. It’s a very close count but the ref calls it in favor of Bárbaro.
Mistico gets the second pinfall and the tension is as high as the athleticism. One more fall or a submission gets the gold and Mistico manages to catch Cavernario in his Fujiwa special for the instant tap out!
WINNER and STILL MLW World Middleweight Champion: Mistico
Backstage we see Matt Riddle turn a corner and get choked by Mads Krule Krugger! The show goes off the air as the two men brawl it out!
