Main Event:
The Lucha Brothers (Pentagon Jr. & Fenix) (c) vs Rich Swann & ACH (MLW Tag Team Title Match): This match started out fast with Swann and ACH demonstrating some tag team skills against The Lucha Brothers. Penta turned things around on Swann and Fenix hit a dive to the outside on ACH as “Lucha” chants broke out in Gilt Nightclub. Swann took a chop from Penta and Fenix for a two count as The Lucha Brothers tagged in and out. Then they landed a double superkick on Swann. Penta took the tag and Swann nailed a kick to the head so ACH took the tag. Penta took control of ACH quickly and then Fenix got the tag. ACH created an advantage with a leg sweep and a double stomp before splashing onto Penta on the outside. Then ACH returned to the ring to eat a superkick from Fenix, but ACH landed a backbreaker/German suplex in return. Penta took the tag and ACH was able to get away from both Lucha Brothers and get a tag to Swann who kicked Fenix on the top rope and pulled off a rana on Fenix which caused him to smash Penta for a two count. ACH grabbed Penta and then he and Swann hit stereo sit-down powerbombs for near falls. Penta hit a kick on ACH followed by a sling-blade and then Fenix came in to nail a few punishing kicks to Swann. Penta held the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion as Fenix hit a double stomp from the top and then ACH ran into a double superkick from the Lucha Brothers.
ACH placed Fenix on the top rope and then got both Lucha Brothers on his back. Fenix got free and then ACH tossed Penta on him as he shot off the ropes. ACH made the tag to Swann and he had a stand-off with Swann before they traded chops and kicks. Penta hit a superkick followed by a modified powerbomb for another two count. ACH took a moment to mock Penta before the luchador stood up and delivered a stiff kick that ACH followed with a series of kicks and a suplex. Fenix jumped in and hit a cutter on ACH. Swann splashed Penta and leaped off the ropes for another splash and a near fall. The fans were on their feet chanting “MLW” at this point as all four competitors were on the mat. ACH tried to stand up, but he sold his injured leg. Then Penta started trying to chop his way out of it. Soon all four men were standing in a circle trading chops for a bit while the crowd chanted on. They all chopped each other again in a chain before ACH and Fenix just started hitting forearms. Fenix nailed a springboard jumping cutter on Swann who was able to get to the top rope. Fenix knocked Swann down and climbed up then ACH joined him. Penta grabbed ACH and took him down with a Superkick before lifting up Swann to Fenix who landed a powerbomb off the top rope followed by a springboard double stomp into a Pentagon Driver for the win.
