Salina says she has something special planned for Warner, and explains that she's summoned for the devil Bestia. She writes out 666 on a white blanket in blood, then drinks blood from a goblet.

Fusion intro song.

Rich Bocchini and Jim Cornette welcome us to another edition of MLW Fusion. They recap last week's main event, when Dynasty defeated the Hart Foundation to become the new MLW tag team champions. They hype the evening's card, which includes Davey Boy Smith Jr. battling Alexander Hammerstone for the National Openweight title. Also tonight, Los Parks (LA Park and El Hijo de la Park) will face Doctor Wagner Jr. and El Hijo de Doctor Wagner in tag team action.

Alexander Hammerstone is out first, accompanied by fellow Dynasty members MJF, Richard Holliday, and Aria Blake. An interview from earlier in the day with Dynasty is played during his entrance. Holliday says that Hammerstone sells tickets before taking a shot at the Hart family. Hammerstone threatens Davey Boy, and says that he'll knock him out so hard that it'll finally look like Davey Boy has life in his eyes.

Back to the arena, Holliday has a microphone and starts a promo. "Shut the f**k up chants" echo throughout. He insults the crowd before handing the microphone to MJF. MJF says he's getting a scent of poor people from the audience. "Speaking of poor people, let's talk about the Hart Foundation." Hammerstone jumps in..."The jokes are over. Tonight...Davey Boy...I'm going to break you in half." This brings out Davey Boy, who waves a Canadian flag. Cornette tells us that Brian Pillman Jr. and Teddy Hart are not in the building, so Davey Boy will have to go it alone.
