 Though losing to him in a cage match several months earlier, O'Malley challenged Lucifer at an MEWF house show in Dundalk, Maryland on 24 June.He confronted the champion at the start of the show, who was then conducting an in-ring interview, and took issue with Lucifer's announcement to the crowd that he would be defending the heavyweight title against the "younger and newer competition in the MEWF".O'Malley ended up attacking Lucifer and, though getting the better of him, he was pinned by the champion in the main event later that night.
