We see Demli Exo walking backstage, giving other MLW employees fist bumps until she’s confronted by B3CCA, who says it’s disgusting that all of these people backstage are applauding mediocrity. Before things can really go anywhere, they are interrupted by “Doug,” who professes his love for B3CCA. The self-proclaimed pop star berates him as Exo quietly excuses herself from the situation.
A video package goes over the storied history of The Opera Cup that was brought to Major League Wrestling by Davey Boy Smith Jr. following the passing of the last Opera Cup holder, Stu Hart.
Tracy Williams is interviewed backstage regarding his Opera Cup match against Tony Deppen later in the evening. Tracy Williams says he’s in a good place and noted this is his first singles match in Major League Wrestling. He said Tony Deppen is the perfect opponent for him in the Opera Cup.
Williams says Deppen has been telling the story for years about how badly Williams had beaten him the last time they wrestled each other. Williams says he feels bad for Deppen because it’s his first match in Major League Wrestling, and it’s not going to go his way. Williams says he’s going to the finals and will take the Opera Cup home.
We see highlights from last week’s show when Mircoman and The Second Gear Crew attacked MSL backstage. They then go to MSL tonight, who is wrapped up in bandages like a mummy. MSL says he’s the most important man alive. He says he started college when he was 11 years ago, and he comes from greatness, and he is greatness.
MSL calls Mance Warner trailer trash and says laying his hands on him is something he’ll never live down. MSL says he has Matt Cardona and challenges The Second Gear Crew for Fury Road on September 3 to pick a person and face Cardona at the live event on FITE+.

We hear from Willie Mack, who will challenge Alex Kane for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship at Fury Road. Mack says Kane believes he doesn’t deserve a title shot. Mack says that’s funny coming from him and runs down all the backing Kane has with the Bomaye Fight Club. Mack says he hit the lottery with all of that.
Mack says he’s used to people doubting him because where he came from, everyone did it, but every doubt fueled his fire, and now everywhere he goes, people want to see him, and they know his name. Mack asks Kane to keep doubting him because that just makes his job easier.
Mance Warner is backstage and accepts MSL and Matt Cardona’s challenge at Fury Road on September 3.
