This brings out The Skyscrapers with Bishop Chomping at the bit. Dijak says because Kross got pinned in a tag match. THEY Bet Kross, which in a Roundabout Verbal Gymnastics Ways, Dijak Claims HE ALSO BET KROSS, So where is his Title Shot? Josh is not a Happy Bunny having to hear all this!

Dijak refuses to give his partner the Mic, So Kross Ignores Dijak And Decides to give Bishop his Rematch.
Zamaya vs Tiara James, who cut a Heel Promo as This new "Top Tier" Persona. She stole a Zamaya Sign, Ripped on the Crowd, then ripped the sign. Out comes Zamaya for her Jobber Feeding time, and despite bigging herself up, Tiara was barely a snack.
CJ Gallows no Shows his debut. This must be a Storyline.

Backstage: Samael Confronts Zamaya, warning her on behalf of Masha.
A recording was sent to ringside, Showing that early today, GBOT took out young Gallows.
Featherweight championship match Shotzi vs RINA. First things first, when did MLW Drop the Term "Featherweight " off it's Women's Belt? It's just Women's Championship now! And it just doesn't gel with the Uniformity of the other belts' Naming Convention of Legitimacy. I wanted to give RINA a second Chance since she was on her own, But then Rob Drombroski said something I just found egregious that just Confirmed STARDOM is a joke, when he said "19 year old RINA is an Eight Year Pro!" And incase you couldn't Connect the Dots, he followed it up with "She has her first Professional Match at Eleven!" So I threw up my hands at this match. Plus Wiki exists so I knew no title change was happening (YET!) Shotzi Blackhart retains even when RINA nutshotted the Ref and brought out a Whip.
After the match a Video Package of a Pink Cowboy hat played out and it revealed...Some Guy! Who gargled his name so badly I couldn't make it out! He did say, He's was going to take a Shower then come to MLW from New Japan to Superfight.
I Don't know who he is, But I'm Sure Uncle Dave, Tony Khan and all the Sickos does!
