We could not tell whether that was a title change and treated Aries as champion. See [our SuperFight results](https://wrestlingnews.com/story/mlw-superfight-results-bishop-beats-kross-for-the-title/). 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](https://wrestlingnews.com/story/dijak-leaves-mlw-and-enters-free-agency/). 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.
