Hammerstone attempted to insert himself into Matt Riddle’s business at the worst possible moment on Fusion. As tensions escalated, the former MLW World Heavyweight Champion stepped directly into Riddle’s face looking to make a statement. Instead, he became one.
In an instant, Riddle fired a spinning backfist that landed flush and dropped Hammerstone where he stood. The impact brought the confrontation to an abrupt end as Hammerstone collapsed to the floor while Riddle calmly turned and walked away.
The scene left plenty of questions hanging over MLW as Fusion went off the air. Hammerstone has long been one of the most dominant competitors in league history, but one strike from the Rude Dude erased any momentum he hoped to gain by inserting himself into the spotlight.
Now attention shifts back to Riddle. After knocking out a former World Champion, what challenge awaits next? Whoever it is now knows exactly what can happen when Matt Riddle decides he’s heard enough.
