nZo def. ACHnZo was supposed to go one-on-one with Budd Heavy, but nZo attacked Heavy before the bell and ACH answered the open challenge instead. We don't see nearly enough of ACH on MLW TV and maybe there's a reason for that, but selfishly, I wish he was more of a regular. They had a serviceable opener and ACH was mostly responsible for that I'd argue. The commentators played up how nZo has been undefeated in MLW, so I hope KC Navarro (who he's still feuding with) is the one to ultimately beat him. MLW World Tag Team Champions Hustle and Power def. The Bomaye Fight ClubAs I've said previously, I wasn't initially sold on EJ Nduka and Calvin Tankman as a tandem because both guys seemed to be doing just fine on their own, but they've turned into a great team with wonderful chemistry. Tankman was finally able to get one over on Alex Kane here in what was a well-wrestled affair with quite a few awkward spots. There's plenty of inexperience among these men, but all of them have potential. The Von Erichs def. 5150 (Danny Rivera and Hernandez) in a Bunkhouse BrawlThis had been many months in the making, as I think these teams were originally supposed to meet in Texas the last time MLW was there earlier this year before The Von Erichs had to miss the taping, I believe for COVID-related reasons. It looked like it would've been over the tag titles before 5150 dropped the belts randomly to Hustle and Power, but I don't think this match needed that, especially given the stipulation. This was a wild, fun brawl that the crowd was into and it felt like a proper blow-off to the feud. Overall ShowCezar Duran announced during the episode that he will challenge Alexander Hammerstone for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship next week after Hammerstone accidentally hit him last week. That certainly has my attention. As for this edition of Fusion, it was one of the stronger shows on the whole in a while. nZo vs. ACH was better than most matches nZo has, the tag title match in the middle was solid, and the main event was entertaining, so this was an easy thumbs-up.
