Opera Cup semi-final action headlines an action packed edition of Fusion: ALPHA, presented by newlawoffice.com.

“The American Wolf” Davey Richards rumbles with outsider Bobby Fish in a high stakes Opera Cup semi-finals match to determine the first wrestler who will move on to the 2021 Opera Cup finals.

Can Davey outgun an all elite striker and move one step closer to completing what many view as the comeback of the year, or could Bobby Fish quite possibly knock off a heavy tournament favorite and show up in another promotion with the Opera Cup trophy in a couple weeks? 

In trios action, Los Parks step into the ring with 5150. Cesar Duran’s thirst for violence is sure to be quenched as Los Campeones finally step into the ring with Konnan’s new crew in front of a rabid South Philly crowd.

The final countdown to War Chamber begins. CONTRA’s forces are strengthening and with just seven days remaining until the monumental event, the question remains: WHO will step up and join forces with Hammerstone, Richard Holliday and EJ Nduka to battle the global dealers in violence inside the demonic structure? 

Cesar Duran has requested a special meeting with Willow Nightingale. As rumors of an impending Women’s Featherweight Championship tournament continue to pick up steam, what sort of devious proposition could El Jefe have in store for The Babe With The Power?

PLUS: Just seven days before they join forces with their boy Hammer in War Chamber, EJ Nduka and Richard Holliday lead an star squad into battle as they team with Savio Vega, Warhorse, Zenshi, and the Blue Meanie to take on CONTRA’s Ikuro Kwon, KC Navarro, King Mo, Gino Medina, Kevin Ku, and The Beastman with Kimchee in 12 on 12 Survival Tag action!

“Filthy” Tom Lawlor Leaving MLW

Top MLW star “Filthy” Tom Lawlor is leaving the company.

Lawlor’s two year contract is expiring soon, and he is finishing up with the company, according to Fightful Select. MLW sources confirmed the departure and spoke very highly of the veteran talent.

Lawlor is done with MLW as of now as the recent Casket Match was a way to effectively write him out of the storylines. That match saw Lawlor lose to MLW Caribbean Heavyweight Champion King Muertes at the Fightland taping in Philadelphia earlier this month. There was still some time left on Lawlor’s contract, but it will expire before MLW’s next set of TV tapings in November.

The leader of Team Filthy first started working with MLW in 2017 and is a one-time MLW World Heavyweight Champion. He won the Battle Riot match in 2018, and won the Opera Cup Tournament in 2020.

Lawlor is currently working for NJPW after making his debut for the promotion in July 2020. He became the first-ever NJPW Strong Openweight Champion back in April after winning the New Japan Cup USA tournament, defeating Brody King in the finals.

Lawlor has expressed interest in returning to MMA, and said while he left his gloves in the ring after his last bout, he is not officially retired. Lawlor remains under contract to the PFL (Pro Fighters League). The former UFC star last fought on June 17 of this year, defeating Jordan Young by unanimous decision at the PFL 5 event in Atlantic City. He currently has a MMA record of 11-8-1.

There is no word on if the 38 year old Lawlor has interest from AEW or WWE, or what his contract status is with NJPW.
