We are told Dijak will face Josh Bishop for the MLW Title if he wins tonight.

Scarlett comes in and pours water on Kross to wake him up. Kross puts a grounded choke on Dijak. Bishop does not come out but another ref does. Dijak taps out and Kross wins via submission.

Thoughts: Kross won as expected here as the PPV is coming up and he has a match with Josh Bishop. What we got was acceptable enough but it lost some of its steam in the 2nd half. Josh Bishop did not come out to help Dijak here and I'm sure that will factor into storylines.

Kross holds his title up on the stage. Josh Bishop comes up to him but keeps walking. Dijak grabs the mic while he is down and says look who finally decided to show up. The crowd chants "you tapped out" and Dijak tells them to shut up. He calls them b!tch @ss p*ssies. Dijak then says him and Josh had a deal for him to come help him but he didn't come. Dijak says he sets up the plan every week then Josh sh!ts in his face. Dijak asks Josh if he's a Skyscraper of a b!tch. Josh says f*ck you and gives him in the finger. Dijak slaps him and asks what he will do about it. Josh then powerbombs him.

Josh brings a table in and sets it up.  Josh razor's edge's Dijak through the table. Josh then poses on the ropes.

Overall thoughts: Damo/Oddyssey was acceptable and was the hoss fight you'd assume it would be. Jumbo won a handicap match. The 3-way was fine and probably the match of the night, but it's another random lucha match and it's hard to get too invested into it. The main was acceptable and it got enough time to play out, though it did die out some in the 2nd half. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall. It was fine.
