New champions crowned at MLW Never Say Never

Hammerstone tapped out to a rear naked choke after a match that went 22 and a half minutes. The Bomaye Fight Club then hoisted the new champion up on their shoulders and celebrated in the ring before Kane cut a promo. He thanked the fans for all their support and led them in a chant of "Bomaye is for the people" as the show went off the air.  

Kane becomes the 10th wrestler to win the MLW World title. The title dates back to 2002 but was inactive from 2004-2018. Hammerstone's reign ends after 644 days (2nd all-time). His 16 successful title defenses are the most in the history of the belt. 

The Calling won the promotion's tag titles on the show as well. They defeated the Samoan Swat Team after Page gave Lance Anoa'i a Super Raven Effect through a table. The storyline is that Raven has told each member of The Calling the secret to his DDT finisher. 

Delmi Exo is now a double champion. The MLW Featherweight Champion wrestled wXw Women's Champion Ava Everett in a title vs. title match on the show. Exo won with a Delmi Driver and now holds gold in one of Europe's top promotions. 

Timothy Thatcher may have been injured during his match with Tracy Williams. He started favoring his neck early and then was unable to continue after taking a DDT. Thatcher walked to the back without needing assistance, however. 

Jacob Fatu successfully retained his National Openweight title against Calvin Tankman in the opener. 

Matt Cardona and Kevin Blackwood were announced as selections in the MLW Open Draft. 

They also ran an angle where B3CCA gave a musical performance and a fan wearing angel wings ran up to the stage. Security carried the fan away as he yelled out that he loved B3CCA.
