Key Takeaways from MLWs Kings of Colosseum:
TJPW’s Hyper Misao initiation into the MLWs arena marked a notable occurrence. Despite her valiant efforts, she succumbed to defeat at the hands of Featherweight Champion Janai Kai, succumbing to distraction orchestrated by Salina de la Renta, stationed at the ringside.
In an emotional bid for the MLWs Tag Team Championships, Josh Bishop and Tom Lawlor, donned in gear inspired by Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, faced Second Gear Crew’s Matthew Justice and 1 Called Manders. Their aspirations were dashed when Justice executed a Death Valley driver on Bishop atop a stack of tables, which remarkably did not yield under the impact.
Post-match, Bishop and Lawlor assailed their adversaries, leaving them incapacitated before making a brisk exit.
The revelation of Sami Callihan as the latest addition to The Calling unfolded, as he played a pivotal role in Rickey Shane Page’s triumph over AKIRA in a brutal Taipei Death match, securing the retention of the MLWs National Openweight Championship.
