2. Beer.
3. Wrestling.
He praises Tony Khan and AEW’s partnership with MLP for allowing him and others to support the promotion.
Raja Rohan (c) versus Stu Grayson (c) – PWA Champion’s Grail/ Interim MLP World Championship Title For Title Match
Get rid of this PWA Champion’s Grail. It just muddies up the waters and nobody cares about it. Aurora Teves is with Rohan, naturally.
Wow! Sam is actually in the ring for this one. About time, MLP.
They battle on the apron. Stu picks up Rohan on his shoulders. Teves grabs one of Stu’s legs. Rohan shoves Stu into a steel post and he goes flying off the apron to the floor.
Stu runs across the ring to springboard off the ropes. Teves grabs the ropes causing him to take a header. The official bans Teves from ringside.
Rohan gives Stu a suplex on the apron. The move knocks out both men. Stu knocks Rohan’s front teeth into the first row with a V-Trigger, a Busaiku Knee Kick and pins him with his Nightfall.
Winner: …and still Interim MLP World Champion and new holder of the PWA Champion’s Grail, Stu Grayson.
