MLW’s season finale of
Fusion is upon us with the rematch of Lio Rush versus Myron Reed for the MLW World Middleweight Championship. There might also be a huge surprise revealed for Lucha Underground fans. Let’s run down all the news and action.
We’ll start with a quick catch-up of MLW activity on
Fusion since
Fusion episode 128 (here) featured three title fights. Richard Holliday retained the Caribbean Championship against Gino Medina via 2008 twisting suplex after Medina collided with an exposed turnbuckle. Los Parks retained the tag titles over the Dirty Blondes when LA Park Jr. used a double low blow so LA Park and Hijo de LA Park could score a double roll-up. The main event saw Alexander Hammerstone regain the gold he never lost. Hammerman conquered Mil Muertes, who had stolen the MLW National Openweight Championship. Nightmare Pendulum was the winning maneuver in this rugged hoss fight. The physical battle left a smile on my face the entire time.
Winfree’s MLW Fusion (Ep. 130) Review 4.28.21
Hey there everyone, it’s time for MLW Fusion so I’m here once again to relay all the happenings. Tonight Marshall Von Erich will battle “Filthy” Tom Lawlor one on one, Ross Von Erich takes on Dominic Garrini, and Bu Ku Dao will try to redeem himself after a less than stellar outing last week when he takes on Hijo de LA Park. Last week was kind of a down episode, let’s see if Fusion can rebound this week.
The opening reminds us of the feud between Lawlor and the Von Erich clan. We’ll also get something on El Jefe of Azteca Underground tonight, plus a media event for Myron Reed trying to reclaim the middleweight title from Lio Rush in a few weeks. That sends us to the ring for our first match.

Mil Muertes is hungry for gold
Fusion is stacked with three championship contests tonight. The main event will feature Alexander Hammerstone defending the MLW National Openweight Championship against Mil Muertes. Ever since Muertes entered MLW, he has been on a path of destruction. That included beating down Hammerman and stealing the Openweight belt. Hammerstone fears no man, so he issued the challenge giving Muertes the opportunity to win the strap fair and square.
It’s okay Salina. We know there’s lots of words that confuse you.

Ray Flores, who was joined by Saint Laurent on commentary, welcomed viewers to the show and hyped the three title matches… The Fusion opening aired…
Footage aired of a cameraman approaching Salina de la Renta, who blew off the suggestion that El Jefe might show up. The Azteca Underground associate appeared and shoved the camera. The man could be heard asking if she’d cleared her plan with El Jefe and then adding that they both know she didn’t ask permission…
