MLW Fusion: Davey Boy Smith Jr. becomes a two-time Opera Cup winner

Hey there!


Jacob Fatu (c) vs. Rickey Shane Page – National Openweight Championship match


Just as Page makes his creepy entrance, walking around the ring, Fatu decides to take the fight to him by suicide diving after him.

After the multiple attacks aimed at the SST for months, especially the recent one against Lance Anoa’i, Jacob feels like this is extremely personal as he continues his onslaught.

Rickey momentarily has his standing in as he delivers two kicks to Fatu’s face. That quickly dissipates as Fatu sends a harsh uppercut.

A triple springboard Moonsault leaves Fatu’s knee at a slight disadvantage if Page ever capitalizes on that.

Page manages to crossbody Fatu hard enough into a cover that ultimately failed, so he recruits a steel chair. I can’t say it wasn’t smart of Page to slam Jacob’s body with the chair at the same time for maximum pain. It was well utilized regardless…

How disgustingly demented does one have to be to start biting another person’s foot just for the hell of it? Because that’s what Page did to Fatu. Gross…

Shane attempts to target Jacob’s skull, yet the champ springs back up like nothing happened. He retaliates with numerous blows to Page’s jaw.

Fatu’s need to bring a secondary chair into this match is turned against him when Rickey threw the furniture at his face. Page thought he had the champ beat when he inter-connected the chairs together for a definite ending, yet Jacob climbs back into the fight with an Aller Uce that results in Rickey crashing on top of his trap.

Ouch! Unfortunately, this doesn’t award Fatu the retaining win just yet.

I actually thought that once Page body splashes on top of Fatu, crashing him through the table, it would have been over. Lucky for us, Fatu remains in the game.

As Fatu and Page wrestle outside the ring, Rickey does something stupid. He shoves the referee, so naturally he ends the match prematurely. That doesn’t encourage the brawl between the fighters to stop.

Winner: No one


As Tracy Williams prepares for his upcoming Opera Cup Finals match against Davey Boy Smith Jr., he mentions words of respect for his opponent. Smith Jr. is one of the few who is Pro Wrestling and not here for the showboating. He’s truly good at what he does. Williams hopes to bring that prestige honor home as well.

BREAKING NEWS. Due to the spilt conflict between Page and Fatu earlier, their Championship match will resume at Fury Road in a Weapons of Mass Destruction match where every and any kind of weapon will be available for them to use set around the ring on September 3rd.

Also, it was brought to our attention that next week, MLW has a special announcement for us. I wonder what it is


Delmi Exo (c) vs. Paris Van Dale – World Featherweight Championship match


Paris barely had an impact on Delmi with those ineffective chops, so the champ shows her how it’s done.

Van Dale had the champ pegged for a bit with that running clothesline-ish kind of move, but Delmi bounces back up with a right hand then a back drop.

Exo beats Paris with her winning Delmi Driver to retain her title. The celebrations are cut short when B3cca attacked Delmi after that comment earlier when the champ said that she’ll fight the pop sensation once she gives up this “delusion” of being a singer. Ha! Ha!

However, the attack reemerged a neck injury of Delmi’s that causes medical to worry.

Winner: Delmi Exo


Davey Boy Smith Jr. vs. Tracy Williams – Opera Cup Finals match


Because of his alliance with Mister Saint Laurent, Smith Jr. hasn’t been receiving many applauds from the audience, and rightfully so. Laurent became a shameless man after betraying MicroMan with Davey’s help some weeks ago.

Tracy tries to dismantle Davey’s left knee since it was tweaked during his match with Calvin Tankman in the first round of the Opera Cup tournament. Smith Jr. notices that and rolls out.

Williams goes after Junior unsuccessfully as he attempts to suplex him on the main floor. Naturally, Junior reverses the attack with his mighty power.

Later on, Tracy manages to get a firm grip on Davey’s ankle as he twists it along with the knee, hoping that Junior will tap out.

Davey crashes into a harsh landing as Tracy suplexes him using his injured knee. Williams continues to snap Davey into multiple submission moves aiming at the arms and knee.

Junior makes a comeback with a suplex counter then a leg drop across Tracy’s throat. Davey may have hit a perfect running Bulldog, but he landed on the bad knee, so he couldn’t go into the cover.

Williams flips Davey into an ankle lock in the center of the ring with nowhere to to go and too far to reach the ropes. Even when Davey crawls a little closer, he doesn’t grab the rope because of pride according to commentary.

I don’t understand what that nonsense was when Davey powerbombed Tracy so hard he should’ve won right there, but he didn’t and kept his composure as he transfers into the Crossface submission which results in Williams tapping out. It was a bit odd.

Winner: Davey Boy Smith Jr.
