Arez vs. Extreme Tigre
Arez comes out with his briefcase full of cash as Tigre looks all too eager to get to in ring competition. Arez goes for an unorthodox pin on Tigre for a near fall, but Tigre returns the favor quite quickly with a pin of his own. More pins are attempted as you can feel the momentum picking up. Arez offers a hand in respect and Tigre takes a bit to consider it, but Arez tries tricking him. Tigre spots the deception, but does get nailed with a very impression lung blower!
The battle goes back in Tigre’s favor when he hits a Code Red on Arez, but a modified butterfly lock nearly gets Tigre in a tough submission predicament.Tigre does escape and the high-flying takes to the outside!
Back in the ring, Tigre single leg dropkicks Arez for a two count, but Arez fires back with a moonsault from the ropes! Harsh kicks from Arez come before Tigre nails a piledriver.
A slow count allows Arez to kick out. Arez cracks Tigre with a double stomp and then nails a Northern Lights suplex for the bridge pin win.
WINNER: Arez

MAIN EVENT
MLW World Heavyweight Championship
Alex Hammerstone (c) vs. Octagon Jr.
Cesar Duran was standing at ringside for the first look at Hammerstone and his “clipped wing.”
Nonetheless, Hammer kept a determined demeaneor as Octagon Jr. made his way to the ring and exchanged a quick fist bump with “El Jefe.” The bell sounds and Octagon gets the offense going by immediately going after that left arm. Octagon puts Hammer in a tree of woe to do a sliding dropkick but a massive body drop and an intense lariat over the ropes gives Hammer a little time to recoup.
Hammer drops Octagon on face first on the apron and as he get the luchador back in the ring, an army of Azteca Henchmen are shown standing on the fight club entryway.
Octagon hits running meteroa on Hammer in the corner before doing an Arabian press variant. He then does an impressive Asai moonsault to Hammer on the outside!
Hammer shows his resiliency and finds an oppotunity to even the odds when he pancakes Octagon down with his good arm. He soon follows that up with a belly-to=belly suplex. He covers, but only gets a two count. Octagon nails a superkick before hitting a perfect 450 splash for a nearfall.
Hammer fights to his feet and powers through the pain to hit a spin-out facebuster for the 1-2-3!
WINNER and STILL World Champion: Alex Hammerstone
Duran shows his displeasure by prompting the Azteca army down to the ring. Sure enough, Hammer is surrounded. Matters look more than dire when it’s Richard Holliday who makes his way to cover his Dynasty brother’s “six!” The two men are swarmed by the henchman as Azteca goes off the air!
