MLW Fusion Preview 12/14/2023

MLW FUSION’S season finale streams at 8pm tonight on MLW’s YouTube channel and FITE+, Friday on beIN XTRA and Saturday on Cable TV’s beIN SPORTS (find a provider). 

  • National Openweight Championship: Rickey Shane Page vs. AKIRA
  • World Featherweight Championship: Janai Kai vs. Delmi Exo vs. Tiara James
  • Kevin Blackwood vs. TJ Crawford
  • Tony Deppen vs. Nolo Kitano
  • Battle Royal

MLW closes out an incredible season of Fusion with an action packed fight card with a big main event as the brotherhood of Carcosa battle it out for the first time ever! 

Rickey Shane Page steps into the ring with the “Death Fighter” AKIRA. What happens when the Calling collide? It’s an all out war for the National Openweight Championship.

After Bodies by Saint Laurent became pure bedlam, Jacob Fatu fires verbal bullets at his greatest rival… and the World Titan Federation’s newest Superstar, Alex Hammerstone. Could The High Chief of the Hood be gunning for one last dance with the one man he’s never beaten?

After all of the hype, what’s left of huckster promoter Saint Laurent. Can “Filthy” Tom Lawlor put humpty dumpty back together after an explosive One-Shot? Also, get the scoop on WTF’s newest acquisition as the “Fed” soaks up rarefied air.

Hot off of a classic double title clash, Promociones Dorado is in a festive mood. Salina de la Renta, Rocky Romero, Jesus Rodriguez and Janai Kai are ready to party but are they ready for a certain top ranked contender to step up?

Contender gridlock has triggered a 3-way World Featherweight Title Fight on FUSION! While former World Featherweight Champion Delmi Exo is guaranteed a rematch against the new champion, Janai Kai, Tiara James was been promised a title fight. Now all 3 will fight it out as Kai’s gold hangs in the balance.

Kevin Blackwood returns to active competition to finally throw down with one of the culprits responsible for sidelining him, TJ Crawford.

The Second Gear Crew’s newest member the masked Good Brother 3 has a special Christmas gift for 1 Called Manders. Plus, the SGC invoke “Freebird Rules” for their reign as the World Tag Team champions?

Coincidentally, the man many suspect to be the brains behind the assault on Blackwood also re-enters active competition as Tony Deppen, fresh off serving a month long suspension for the attack, rumbles with Nolo Kitano.

A who’s who will enter the fray as the likes of the Bomaye Fight Club, the World Titan Federation, Second Gear and countless others throwdown in a battle royal!

MLW Star Alex Hammerstone Set To Hit Free Agency On January 1

On October 29th, Alex Hammerstone publicly revealed that he had requested his release from MLW.

Through a Twitter video, the former MLW World Heavyweight Champion said that although MLW had informed him that they were working on his release, they had stated to the media that they would not be granting it. Hammerstone pointed out that he is not listed on MLW’s roster page, featured in the MLW Fusion intro video package, and has not received any communication regarding future bookings. He has also not been utilized for over 100 days.

He later returned to MLW last month where he laid Alex Kane and Jacob Fatu after their MLW World Title match.

In a post today on Twitter, Hammerstone noted he will officially be a free agent on January 1.

WTF Hammerstone? Literally. Get the real story on wrestling’s most scandalous story this fall as MLW does a deep dive on Hammerstone’s MLW release and subsequent signing by The World Titan Federation.

What does Salina de la Renta think of Máscara Dorada calling out and challenging Rocky Romero for both the MLW & CMLL titles at One Shot on FITE+? La Empresaria of Lucha doesn’t hold back.

25,000 thumbtacks + 1 pit = Total devastation. For the first time ever witness a Thumbtacks Pit of Death Match as Jimmy Lloyd battles The Calling’s Cannonball.

“Filthy” Tom Lawlor readies for war against Satoshi Kojima as two of MLW’s greatest World Heavyweight Champions prepare to throw down at One Shot live on Thursday, December 7.

Zayda looks to prove she’s no diva as she throws down with fellow featherweight contender Gia Scott.
