Hammerstone, who is already set to compete in a tag match with the Von Erichs versus Richard Holliday, King Muertes and Mads Krugger will now be forced into a second match. Vowing to showcase his excellence in lucha, Duran predicts Hammerstone will be on the mat begging to quit in under 5 minutes.  Duran and Hammerstone have quarreled for months, ever since Cesar Duran tried to put his hooks into the World Champion following winning the title. Never one to be under the thumb of someone, Hammer rejected Cesar's pursuit to control the champ. Ever since then, the two sides have clashed. Denying this is a publicity stunt, Cesar Duran promises "violent consequences" for Hammerstone. Which begs the question: what does El Jefe have in store this Friday in Dallas?

"Seeing the Von Erichs wrestle in Dallas is a rite of passage; like seeing Elvis in Memphis, if you're a fan of the sport, this is an experience you can't afford to miss," said MLW CEO Court Bauer. "And what better way than a six man clash featuring some of MLW's top ranked and most dangerous." For decades the Von Erichs have battled some of the most vile and violent I the sport but what happens Ross and Marshall Von Erich team-up with Hammerstone and collide with the 7' Mads Krugger, unhinged Richard Holliday and "Man of 1,000 Deaths" King Muertes? All bets are off when the mighty Hammerstone and Von Erichs ride into town ready to throw down in a match that promises to be an explosive brawl. Teaming for the first-time ever with the World Heavyweight Champion Hammerstone, this trio would normally be unstoppable... if not facing Holliday and two certified monsters in the masked mercenary Krugger and a man who pushed Hammerstone to his limits in 2020 in Muertes. Ever the schemer, does Richard Holliday have something up his sleeve?  Find out next Friday April 1st in Dallas Cesar Duran presents MLW AZTECA UNDERGROUND!

Jumping KC from behind as KC headed to the ring, the "Certified G" unleashed street knowledge in the form of a brutal beatdown. nZo's message was simple: you gotta fight harder, fight smarter and yes, don't trust anyone. With the match ultimately being a brutal and humbling lesson for KC, he has refused to let it keep him down.

Approaching the half year mark as the National Openweight Champion, Alex Kane will find himself in deep and dangerous waters as Cesar Duran has signed a fatal four way for his championship... and the challengers don't even have to defeat Kane to win the belt. All one must do is be the first to successfully pin, submit or knockout one of the other competitors and he will in under sudden victory rules. The reigning World Middleweight Champion Myron Reed looks to claim a second title and simultaneously hold two titles. An ambitious feat, dethroning Alex Kane and winning the National Openweight Championship would forever cement Reed as the "Young GOAT".  Following a hotly contested triple threat in Charlotte a few weeks ago, ACH remains in the mix and looks to topple Kane based on his first go-around with the "Suplex Assassin". Can ACH decode a path to dethrone the founder of the BOMAYE Fight Club? Entering the fray as Cesar Duran's luchador of choice, Puma King hopes to pounce the competition and bring championship gold back to his storied wrestling family in Mexico.  Will a new champion be crowned in Dallas? Find out next Friday April 1st in Dallas Cesar Duran presents MLW AZTECA UNDERGROUND!
