MLW Fusion Results, Highlights, and Grades: Strickland vs Rush

Next week on MLW Fusion, Kotto Brazil makes his return after suffering an eye injury at the hands of Ricky Martinez (allegedly!) during a fight in a Miami bar. Plus, Sami Callihan and LA Park will look to rip one another to shreds in the main event! Can Promociones Dorado gain a modicum of revenge on Callihan, whom they feel didn’t complete his job, or will The Draw find a way to crush his former associates?

MLW SuperFight is coming to the 2300 Arena/ECW Arena in Philadelphia on February 2. An hour of the show will be broadcast on beIN Sports as MLW Fusion LIVE returns to the network featuring The Hart Foundation challenging The Lucha Bros for the MLW World Tag Team Titles. This match was originally set for the Miami double-shot in December but Fenix’s injury put things on hold. Now, with a live broadcast, the stakes are even higher.

At the top of the SuperFight card, Low Ki will defend the MLW World Heavyweight Title against Tom Lawlor. Lawlor has had his sights set on the championship since winning Battle Riot last summer and his 7-month quest finally comes to a head against Ki and Promociones Dorado in Philadelphia. Can Lawlor finally do what Shane Strickland, Konnan, and Rey Fenix couldn’t?

Aerostar makes his MLW debut as he battles the returning Rey Horus in a match which should, yet again, highlight the insane lucha libre that has captivated the US independent wrestling scene over the past several years. Looking to keep the lucha train rolling, Gringo Loco and Puma King will also go head to head in Philly.

Tommy Dreamer and Brian Pillman Jr continue their rivalry as each man will choose a mystery partner in a tag team war. Ace Romero recently became the first person to defeat Simon Gotch in his Prize Fight Challenge and now Gotch wants revenge – the two will clash in a rematch at SuperFight.

The former MLW World Middleweight Champion MJF will make his return to the promotion after vacating the title due to injury. Will MJF set his focus on the new World Middleweight Champion, Teddy Hart, or will Friedman and partner Aria Blake have other plans?

Mance Warner makes his Major League Wrestling debut at SuperFight against a yet unknown opponent. This will be my first time seeing Warner, and may be the first for a large portion of the MLW audience, and I’m excited to see what he can bring to the table.
