MLW FUSION REPORT: TWO TITLE MATCHES

By Richard Trionfo on 2023-06-16 10:07:00

Your announcers are Joe Dombrowski and Matt Striker.

We begin with comments from Delmi Exo and Taya Valkyrie about the Featherweight Title Match on tonight’s show.

Delmi says it has been far too long that Taya has been hiding from her.

Taya says Delmi isn’t on her level and it is pathetic that MLW gave her a match. You don’t deserve to look at her.

Delmi says her strategy is that she won’t back down from someone who is a clout chaser. All Taya cares about is herself. Delmi says someone with her attitude is disingenuous. She doesn’t care about MLW or the fans. MLW deserves someone who respects the fans.

Taya says when she first came to MLW, the fans loved her and couldn’t get enough of her. They let her down and they are pathetic. Delmi, you will realize that you belong with the fans because you are pathetic. She asks what is a God Queen. Taya says tonight will end like every other night. She has defended the title against the best and she has created her own legacy. She will tell her story her way.

Delmi says the God Queen will bring a new era to MLW. There are a number of ways to beat Taya but she wants to finish her with a Delmi Driver.

Taya says she has carried this division on her back. You are never going to get on her level.
