What is the story about?
MLW kicks off the Blood & Thunder taping with a world title bout in the main event of Fusion on Saturday night (Aug. 8, 2026). Killer Kross defends the MLW World Heavyweight Championship against Satoshi Kojima. MLW women’s champion Shotzi Blackheart will also be in action for a three-way with Scarlett Bordeaux and Lady Frost. The juiciest piece from the show could be the grand proclamation from Josef Samael, who returned last week with a fireball as the leader of the Contra Unit.
