We are back with comments from Myron Reed and Lio Rush about their match next week as we see how Rush won the Middleweight Championship.

We see Tom Lawlor meeting with Tim Donaghy. He wants Tim to make sure things are on the ‘up and up’. He gives Tim an envelope but Tim says it is lighter than usual but he can make it work.

We are told that Lio Rush never made his flight for the press conference.

Alicia Atout is in the back and she mentions the championship committee.

There is a meeting to discuss the new season that kicks off on July 10th.

We are back with a look at what happened to Hijo de LA Park earlier tonight.

We see footage of Salina being taken out of the building with a hood over her head.

We go to Myron Reed. He wants to know if they are playing games by not showing up to media events. You want to be scary a week before our match? I am taking time away from my family, my friends, and my wife. You don’t care about the title or MLW. You don’t give a damn about the fans. All you want is clout and fame. That is not what the Young GOAT wants. I am in the gym every day. I know what I did wrong the first time and I will right those wrongs. Rush hour is about to be up.

We are told that Alexander Hammerstone will be at the 2300 Arena in July.

Alexander Hammerstone is with Alicia Atout and she asks him what is next.

Hammerstone says he is coming up on two years as champion. I wanted to make this the wrestler’s title. It is time to give the people what they want. He did not see his name come up so much on the internet until they asked who should face Jacob Fatu. I think you are scared of me. Maybe Josef Samael has his leash on too tight. Maybe you are afraid of hiking up Muscle Mountain. Your reign of terror is numbered. When I get you up for that Nightmare Pendulum, that will be the end of you holding that World Championship.

Alicia Atout is with Tom Lawlor and she says they are waiting for the result of the drug test. Tom wonders how big is Marshall’s bladder. Who knows what is going through his blood.

Tim shows up and says that he passed the est.

Marshall throws his sample in Tom’s face and he tells Tom it is warm.

We go to commercial.

We are back and we are told that Lio Rush has been fined for no showing the press conference.

Richard Holliday will be in action next week.

Contra Unit interrupts the program and Josef Samael says that Alex Hammerstone is saying all the right words, but does he mean them? Even if you did, you don’t call the shots. You don’t have the power, I do. This isn’t a propaganda video, this is a video of truths. Truths for the Golden Ace, for you, Alex Hammerstone. One year ago, almost to the day, Contra seized control of MLW. I walked into Court Bauer’s office, and let’s say I reworked some contracts. I control the fate of the World Champion. That power is infinite. I control who has the privilege of who faces Jacob Fatu. Flex all you want, but your challenge has been denied. Keep your ringer on, maybe I have a refrigerator to move and you are the first idiot I will call.
