– Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix won the MLW Tag Team Titles last night to become the first-ever champions. They had a big celebration, including two bottles of Patron and pouring shots in the mouths of fans. It was described as a “really cool, organic, fun scene. One person there joked the entire front row was drunk by the end of the celebration.”

– Sami Callihan moved into an agent role for the company last night and reportedly was given praise for his work.

– Teddy Hart made a surprise appearance in a victory over Trey Miguel, described as one of the best matches of the taping. He filmed promos for MLW: Fusion TV and will be a regular. Court Bauer and Hart were originally set to collaborate on H2Wrestling a while back but that fell apart. Hart has been trying to turn his life around recently.

Zeda Zhang, who was released from NXT last week, debuted with the company as part of an angle with Su Yung. The gimmick was described as “The Road Warriors meet the female kick-ass characters the likes of which we’d see in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill.”

– Spiff TV and Maybach Music Group were in attendance. Spiff does the music for MLW entrances, including Pnetagon Jr.
