Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/mlw-fusion-7182026-fantasticamania-usa.html

We are in Charleston, SC. Joe Dombrowski and Tom Lawler are on commentary.

Rich Bocchini hosts a contract signing between Killer Kross and Satoshi Kojima. Matt Riddle comes out with Kross and says he owes him for helping him train. Kross goes to sign his contract but The Skyscrapers come out. Dijak says they run this tag division and want to expand their real estate by going after the World Title. Kross says to line 'em up. Austin Aries comes out. He says he's the next man in line as he has a title on his shoulder. Koji says Aries talks too much and Aries says Koji eats too much. They all argue. Josh says he's surprised Riddle passed the pee test to be here tonight. Riddle challenges Josh for tonight. 

Rich says we gotta get this contract signed. Aries says he'll be waiting for him when he's done with this. Kross and Kojima sign the contract. Kross tells Koji he's sorry about that and says he will see him soon. Koji says he will see him soon too. 

Labron Kozone vs Andrew Everett

They shake hands. Bron takes him down and wristlocks him. AE rolls out and headflips out. AE goes for a chokeslam and they kind of botch a side slam as AE goes down randomly. 

Bron back elbows him then tilt-a-whirl backbreakers him. Bron diving reverse headbutts him. Bron throws him. Bron chops him down. Bron exploders him then chops him in the corner. AE is thrown hard into the buckles and goes down. Bron hits kicks and spinning back elbows him. Bron misses a senton.

AE boots him out of the corner. AE back elbows him. AE's asai moonsault is caught and he spinning ddt's Bron. Bron back elbows him. AE asai moonsaults him outside. We go to break and return. AE springboard corkscrew dives him for 2.  

They get on the buckles. AE takes a stiff 2nd rope double arm sitout chokebomb. Bron hits a big lariat and pins AE.

Thoughts: I'm not sure if this was the right match here for Bron. AE got all the highlights here and got to show off while Bron won. AE's a frustrating talent as he can do some impressive flying but he wastes his abilities by doing comedy.  

Rich Bocchini interviews Glasgow Boys on Top. Joe Coffeey says it's not just about tag gold. Joe says they walked away with gold on every continent they have been on. Joe says he's coming for Trevor Lee's title as it's GBOT.

They do a video on the Stardom and MLW alliance.

Priscilla Kelly comes out. She says she's the best thing to ever grace this town. She says they'd loveto hear her talk for hours as they are desperate for female attention. PK says Zamaya got lucky. She says she doesn't stay down and won't be nobodies accomplishment. Zamaya then comes out.

Zamaya vs Priscilla Kelly

We join this in progress. PK dropkicks her and corner facekicks her. PK springboard dropkicks her off the bottom rope then dropkicks her through the ropes. Zam apron powerbombs her. Zam throws her twice. Zam release fisherman suplexes her. Zam running corner knees her.  

PK hits forearms and high kicks her. PK double stomps her back for 2. PK rebound germans her and pumping knees her for 2. Zam rams her in the corner. Zam death valley drivers her and pins her.

Thoughts: It was short and it was what it was. Everyone hit their stuff clean here. I didn't think it got enough time to be anything too great. Zam continues her monster run over the roster. 

We get a video that says "Jumbo, crushing fools soon".

We see The Contra Mercs hang out. Karl Anderson asks if Big Damo what he got himself involved with and if he knows who he is messing with. Krule starts yelling. Karl says Damo is a problem but they have to focus on The Skyscrapers. Karl says they aren't finished with them until they bring the MLW Tag Titles home.  

We are in the back. We are told there has been an incident with Teddy Long. We can't see him but Labron Kozone looks concerned and they imply he's hurt.

Matt Riddle vs Josh Bishop

JB black hole slams him for 2. We go to break and return. Matt guillotine chokes him in mid-air. JB rams him in the corner and corner spears him. JB 2nd rope superplexes him then powerbombs him for 2. Matt hits a go to sleep.

The Skyscrapers come out and The Good Brothers follow. They fight to the back. Matt cutters JB. Matt top rope twisting swantons him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was all action and straight to the point here. They didn't waste a lot of time. It was a little rushed as well. What we got was acceptable but not much more. I didn't like Riddle throwing Josh around so much.

Contra Unit interrupts the feed. Big Damo talks. He says his hunger will drive him to the MLW Title. He says he's starting with Krule and says his illusion of safety is broken. He says he's his reckoning and downfall and says hail Contra.

Overall thoughts: The opener was a showcase for Andrew Everett when it should have been one for Kozone. Andrew had a good outing but it didn't really hit his comedic character. We had a shorter bout where Zamaya beat Priscilla Kelly. The main was acceptable and a little rushed. There was nothing you really had to see here. The show was just acceptable overall and the show was a little shorter than usual here at only 39 minutes. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall.
