The super card will also feature a FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS.

“Filthy” Tom Lawlor sent shockwaves through Major League Wrestling winning the first-ever Battle Riot® this past July in New York City where he outlasted 39 other men to earn a World Championship Title Fight anytime anywhere. Since then, Lawlor has been coy about when he plans to cash in.
This encounter will prove to be a challenge for Lawlor as he faces the wildly unpredictable and unorthodox grappler from the Jersey Shore in Joey Janela. The Bad Boy has had his issues with new World Middleweight Champion MJF and his new valet Aria Blake.
Will Janela be focused on this fight? Will MJF and Aria Blake make their presence felt and will Janela be ready to dish out a Jersey Shore receipt for their recent antics on MLW FUSION? Find out live as Major League Wrestling presents an MLW FUSION TV taping!

TNA Impact on AMC Drops to 175,000 Viewers, 0.03 18-49 Rating Amid Heavy Sports Competition
TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 175,000 viewers on AMC last week, a 17.5% decline from the previous week’s 212,000 and the lowest audience since January 22. The show posted a 0.03 rating in the key 18-49 demo, down 25% and matching its lowest demo figure on AMC since the move.
The drop coincided with stiff competition — Impact ran opposite the NFL Draft (simulcast on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network) as well as NHL and NBA playoff coverage, leaving the program tied for 70th on the primetime cable charts. Versus the prior 10-week average (0.04 rating and 240,300 viewers), last week’s show fell 25% in the demo and 27.2% in overall viewers.

Nick Hogan Open to Pursuing In-Ring Career After Viewing Hulk Hogan: Real American
Nick Hogan told the Bonus Edition of the 83 Weeks podcast that after watching the final version of Hulk Hogan: Real American he’s more open than ever to stepping into the ring if the opportunity presents itself. Hogan said he’s been knocking off ring rust, is in good shape and “would absolutely welcome” the chance to pursue an in‑ring career, and noted the docuseries — which premiered on Netflix on April 22, 2026 — helped clarify his father’s legacy.
He also praised the series for pulling back the curtain on the many facets of Hulk Hogan, from character work to charitable efforts, saying it showed how dynamic a person his father is. Nick added that the long-discussed Chris Hemsworth biopic from 2019 remains a possibility despite delays, as the documentary continues to renew interest in Hogan’s story.
