MLW Fusion results: Mads Krugger vs. Jacob Fatu

For the third straight week, MLW Fusion emanated from Dallas, Texas. 

Things kicked off with a backstage promo featuring Mads Krugger. He said that his opponent tonight, Jacob Fatu, is not the monster he was treated like while in Contra Unit. Krugger plans on teaching him what a true monster looks like. 

- Emilio Sparks tried to ask EJ Nduka some questions about Richard Holliday and Hammerstone. After pushing Sparks up against a wall, Nduka said that he and Hammerstone are good with each other.

Aramis, El Dragon and Micro Man defeated Gino Medina, Mini Abismo Negro and Arez

Trios action opened things up as Mister Saint Laurent came out to make a special introduction for the mystery competitor set to team with El Dragon and Aramis. After building up the announcement for several moments (and several weeks leading up to this), he introduced Micro Man. The 23 year-old luchador has wrestled for CMLL previously and is billed at 3'3".

MSL then joined the commentary team where he continued to praise Micro Man.  

Mini Abismo Negro, Medino and Arez squared off with Aramis and El Dragon in the early moments before Micro Man tagged in for the first time. He immediately hit an armdrag and a bulldog on Negro. Medina then came in and just kicked Micro Man in the head which allowed the rudos to go on offense for a period. 

The rudos eventually had Micro Man 3-on-1 as Arez lifted him up in an electric chair position. Aramis and Dragon then hit a pair of poison ranas on Medina and Abismo. They then superkicked Arez, and Micro Man gave him a poison rana. Shortly after, Micro Man hit a pair of headscissors on Abismo as the crowd chanted his name.

Medina got the rudos back into briefly until El Dragon hit him with a backbreaker/face plant combo. Shortly after, Aramis gave Medina a ride in a helicopter spin before dropping him into a sit-out power bomb. The move made Aramis dizzy, however, and Arez tossed him out of the ring. 

Arez then missed a moonsault to the outside which allowed the tecnicos back on offense. Micro Man then took advantage and hit the Micro Bomb (springboard splash) on Medina for the win. 

After the match, Medina refused to be interviewed and shoved Rich Bocchini. 

- In the back, 5150 were celebrating last week's win over Los Parks. They talked about having traveled to Dallas to take on the Von Erichs but the former tag champions couldn't even show up to their own homecoming. The brothers tested positive for COVID-19 shortly before the taping.

- nZo's two-month suspension has expired after he was put on ice for attacking KC Navarro at last November's tapings in Philadelphia. Navarro was then announced to be facing Ho Ho Lun next week.

- Clips of interviews with both Calvin Tankman and MLW National Champion Alex Kane aired. Kane said he's going to focus on Tankman's knee when they go head-to-head while Tankman promised to take his daughter out for lobster after he wins. 

- Footage of Gino Medina attacking Aramis in the back and leaving him a bloody mess aired. Medina appeared to still be frustrated over what happened in the trios match earlier. 

- A video package featuring clips of Hammerstone and Davey Richards talking about their MLW title match in Charlotte on Saturday aired.  

Jacob Fatu defeated Mads Krugger

Krugger and Fatu brawled on the entrance ramp before the bell. Krugger backdropped Fatu over the barricade and into the crowd. Fatu then hit a dive onto his opponent from atop a stanchion shortly after. They eventually found their way into the ring and the bell rang to start the match.

Fatu got the early advantage and hit a spear going into break. When we returned, Fatu was laying into Krugger with strikes. Krugger then hit a superkick and a pop-up samoan drop for a two count. 

Krugger hit a chokeslam backbreaker to retake control. He landed a suicide dive and motioned to the back which brought out another former Contra Unit member, Ikuro Kwon. Kwon missed an enziguri and hit Krugger by mistake. Fatu then hit a moonsault onto a standing Krugger and got the three count. 

After the match, Krugger attacked Fatu from behind and Kwon joined in the beatdown. Fatu fought back and ended up clearing the ring, landing a dive to the outside on top of both of them. Security came out to break things up but both Krugger and Fatu took them out and resumed brawling with each other throughout the venue. 

- We then cut backstage to a scene in Cesar Duran's office. Holliday and Alicia Atout came in and Holliday revealed that Duran had promised him a title shot. Duran said he always keeps his promises but Richards is already scheduled for the next title shot. He said that if something were to happen to Richards, Holliday would be the next in line. Holliday found that interesting and the show came to a close. 

Next week:

• MLW National Openweight Champion Alex Kane vs. Calvin Tankman in a title match
• MLW World Middleweight Champion Tajiri vs. Myron Reed vs. Matt Cross vs. TBA in a fatal 4-way title match
