MJF battles Mance Warner in a Loser Leaves MLW empty arena match!

MLW is not big enough for both of them. Who will leave the conquering combatant? Which wrestler will be forever vanquished? MLW Fusion’s historic main event couldn’t have bigger implications.

MJF, whose ability is only matched by the size of his ego, quickly accepted the challenge at the protest of his brothers in the Dynasty.
