The quick version

  • Matt Riddle beat Austin Aries for the MLW National Openweight Championship at the Nov. 8 Fusion taping at Cicero Stadium, per PWInsider and Fightful.
  • These are spoilers from taped TV that has not aired. We found no MLW post of the results, and MLW has not said when they will air.
  • Josh Bishop, listed as MLW World Heavyweight Champion, beat Joe Coffey. Killer Kross, Mistico and Yota Tsuji beat three members of CONTRA.

Matt Riddle beat Austin Aries to win the MLW National Openweight Championship at a taping for MLW Fusion on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026, at Cicero Stadium in Cicero, Illinois, near Chicago, per PWInsider (Mike Johnson). Fightful ran the same list. Fusion airs on Tubi. The matches have not aired, and we did not attend.

Event

MLW Fusion taping, Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026, Cicero Stadium, the night after Saturday Night SuperFight. PWInsider says it was another round of tapings at the same building. Finishes, times and attendance were not in either list.

Results

PWInsider also lists Brick Savage winning a match and calling out anyone, which led to Jumbo confronting him. It does not say who Savage beat, so we left it out of the table.

Notes

The title change. At SuperFight on Nov. 7, Aries and Riddle went to a 30-minute draw, and Riddle took the belt after the bell. We could not tell whether that was a title change and treated Aries as champion. See our SuperFight results. The taping list shows Riddle beating Aries for the title, with Aries listed as champion going in. That fits our reading. The Fusion episode will show how MLW frames it.

Dijak. Dijak lost to Trevor Lee. He announced on Nov. 9 that he had left MLW. See our Dijak story. eWrestlingNews says he worked a couple of Fusion tapings over the weekend. Whether the Lee match airs is not known.

Tsuji. Tsuji wrestled in MLW the night before. See our story on his MLW debut.

What is next

MLW has not said which episode will carry the matches. Spoilers can change before airing, and MLW can edit or hold matches.

How we know

Source: PWInsider (Mike Johnson), which we read in full, and Fightful (Jeremy Lambert), which credits PWInsider and carries the same list. This is a single-origin results story. PWInsider's list has a few typos in names, which we corrected against Fightful's copy. We did not watch the taping and did not contact MLW. Nothing in this story is a rumor.
