Super heavyweight Beastman is roaring mad. According to his handler, Kimchee, the 394-pounder has been keeping an eye on the miraculous ascension of the “World’s Greatest Wonder” Microman and is offended by Mister Saint Laurent’s claim Microman is truly “pound-for-pound” the greatest fighter in the sport.
Not impressed by Microman’s 3-feet of fury, Beastman has demanded a match with the masked mini luchador… and he’s accepted!
Will Beastman’s 350-pound advantage over the pugnacious pint-sized luchador lead to Microman’s end in MLW? Or will Microman light up Beastman like Times Square with his uncanny arsenal?
Microman made need a MEGA miracle to survive this rumble in New York City.

The Battle RIOT V will be the epicenter of wrestling, with MLW’s April 8 marquee event hosting an inter-promotional clash featuring Germany’s wXw Unified World Wrestling Championship defended for the first-time ever in an MLW ring.

He only became the second Japanese wrestler to win the wXw Unified World Wrestling Championship after Daisuke Sekimoto. Just like Sekimoto 12 years prior Irie is looking for challengers from all over the world. We are excited about the opportunity to host a wXw Unified World Wrestling Championship Match at MLW Battle Riot.”
“wXw is Germany’s preeminent promotion and we are delighted to build this bridge for fans, wrestlers and the sport as we embark on this inter-promotional collaboration,” states MLW Founder Court Bauer.
MLW and wXw first united in 2018, with wXw’s “Avalanche” Robert Dreissker competing in the 2019 Battle RIOT. Most recently, Alex Kane journeyed to Germany to compete in wXw during the summer of 2022.

Joining the stacked list of participants in this year’s Battle Riot is the Samoan SWAT Team’s super heavyweight Juicy Finau.
The World Tag Team Championship SST have sent tidal waves through MLW, since uniting last year. The “SWAT” in Samoan SWAT Team stands for “Samoans with a Tongan”. Big Juicy Finau, who is considered family by the Fatu/Anoa’i clan, is Tongan and the SWAT team celebrates their shared Polynesian culture both in and away from the ring.
Now with all 3 members of the SST in the Riot, could the SWAT Team wreck shop and win the Riot?
If fate is on their side with their entry numbers, the Riot could get very interesting!

Held annually for nearly 50 years at various turn-of-the-century opera house locations from New York City to Boston, the Professional Wrestling Opera House Cup was a grueling multi-day tournament.
The best of the day competed in the tournament and would often be an entree to more success, including the World Heavyweight Championship of the day. For years the cup has sat in the attic of the Hart Mansion in Calgary until the tragic passing of the last cup recipient, Stu Hart (1948 winner).
Davey Boy Smith Jr. inherited the Opera House Trophy Cup upon the passing of his grandfather. Inspired by the legends whose names are immortalized in plaques on the sides of the cup, Smith has donated the cup to Major League Wrestling to reignite the spirit of the greats who preceded today and tomorrow's greats.
After a 71-year hiatus, the Opera Cup returned in 2019, hosted by New York’s Melrose Ballroom.
The Professional Wrestling Opera Cup is dedicated to the great men who have fought valiantly before us to ensure our passion, professional wrestling be cemented and respected in the annals of time.

Second Gear Crew enter Battle RIOT VMLW returns to Philly April 8 |  | (PHILADELPHIA) — Major League Wrestling today announced The Second Gear Crew’s Mance Warner, Matthew Justice & 1 Called Manders as participants in the 40-wrestler Battle RIOT V when MLW returns to Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena on Saturday, April 8.
Grab tickets at MLW2300.com and the 2300 Arena box office. Tickets start at $15. Fresh off of bailing Mance Warner out of jail, Matthew Justice and the 1 Called Manders look to grab whatever isn’t nailed down and raise hell in Battle RIOT V.
Collectively known as the Second Gear Crew, there may be no tougher trio in the sport. Highwaymen known for being collectively the most dangerous group of brawlers assembled in the sport.
A certified hoss, the 1 Called Manders is known for his heavy hitting style – and leaving his adversaries in a heap of wreckage. Tipping his hat as he cracks open a beer, reminding all there are two guarantees in this life: death and lariats.
Then there’s the wildcard in the deck: Matthew Justice. Immune to fear, “Thrash” isn’t afraid to dive from a balcony or spill blood to ensure maximum carnage. Thriving on dangerous situations, when Justice is in that ring extreme annihilation is likely.
Rounding out the Second Gear Crew is ol Mancer. Throwing lariats and drinking light beers, the “Southern Psychopath” is a tough as nails brawler. Violent, unrelenting, and unpredictable in and away from the ring, Mance Warner is one of the most unorthodox southern wrestlers in the sport today.
With the Second Gear Crew now officially in Battle RIOT V, an environment perfect for such a trio, could the SGC go all the way and win the RIOT? | THE CARD:

Emerging as a top ranked competitor, with controversial clashes with Jacob Fatu and a recent high-profile win over Mance Warner, Real1 was the finalist in last year’s Battle RIOT, a match he continues to protest and claim he won.
Exhausting league officials politicking for a title fight, matchmakers have finally acquiesced.
Now that big bout is official as Hammerstone takes on a different type of challenger than any before. Known for his gift to gab, will Real1 get inside Hammerstone’s head with his trash talking?

Underground Preview for TONIGHT:
Hammerstone vs. Jacob Fatu
World Heavyweight ChampionshipMLW Underground. Only on REELZ. |  | MLW UNDERGROUND WRESTLING tonight at 10pm et / 7pt only on REELZ | How to get REELZ.
The superfight goes down for free on REELZ as Hammerstone and Jacob Fatu wage war for the World Heavyweight Championship in the biggest rematch in MLW history. In the 534 days since Hammer dethroned Fatu to realize his dream of becoming World Heavyweight Champion, both men have continued to dominate the squared circle.
Hammerstone has sent thunderbolts through top ranked challengers from around the globe, cementing himself as arguably the greatest MLW Champion in MLW. Now that argument finally will be decided as he battles his predecessor, a man who wore the belt for 819 days in Jacob Fatu. Fatu has steamrolled through the competition, culminating in winning last year’s Battle RIOT IV and clinching a shot at redemption against his great rival, Hammerstone.
Now, destiny unfolds as two of MLW’s greatest collide to define their own legacy and claim his right as the definitive World Heavyweight Champion. In the second-half of the double championship featured card, 18 year old high school senior Billie Starkz looks to celebrate her spring break by taking the World Featherweight Championship back home to MLW. In order to do so, she’ll have to contend with Taya Valkyrie. Can Billie end Taya’s near year long reign and become the youngest world champion in MLW history?
Mance Warner brings some back-up for fights and drinking light beers as The Second Gear roll up into MLW.
Sick and tired of Real1’s incessant trash talk and bullying, Microman has finally had enough and lays down a challenge to “The Certified G”?
