Chicago, IL – Major League Wrestling (“MLW”) today announced a Falls Count Anywhere match: Mads Krule Krugger vs. Matthew Justice at the beIN SPORTS TV taping portion of the AZTECA LUCHA event from the sold out Cicero Stadium in Chicago on Saturday, May 11.
This falls count anywhere match is a part of the beIN SPORTS TV taping portion of the event.
Known for being unpredictable, two of the most extreme brawlers in the sport will square off in a match where winning won't be confined to the ring. They are sanctioned to fight anywhere until someone is pinned in the city of Chicago! It's a falls count anywhere match!
Justice, renowned for his fearless approach to combat, is a high-risk, high-reward brawler who thrives on the edge of chaos. Thriving on the thrill of danger, Justice promises to take this match wherever it may go to defeat the “Black Hand of CONTRA,” Mads Krule Krugger.
Opposing him is the merciless war machine, Mads Krule Krugger, commander of the infamous CONTRA Unit. As the embodiment of CONTRA's mantra as the "International Dealers of Violence," Krugger leaves a trail of destruction in his wake, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies.
There will be no safe haven as anarchy is ignited when Justice and Krugger take their battle all over Cicero Stadium.
CONTRA Unit, an international cabal, has redefined the meaning of terror since their reemergence earlier this year. With vicious attacks on MLW's roster, including Satoshi Kojima, Okumura, Justice and 1 Called Manders, CONTRA has instilled fear and terror throughout the league.
However, Justice has had enough of Krugger's psychological warfare and propaganda. Determined to make Krugger bleed, Justice has seized the opportunity to settle the score in the most brutal fashion possible.
Don't miss the clash of titans as Mads Krule Krugger and Matthew Justice go head-to-head in a Falls Count Anywhere match that will push the boundaries of extreme warfare!

Janai Kai vs. Miyu Yamashita vs. Delmi Exo vs. Zayda title match signed for May 11 in Chicago |  | Chicago, IL – Major League Wrestling (“MLW”) today announced Janai Kai (champion) vs. Miyu Yamashita vs. Zayda vs. “God Queen” Delmi Exo for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Championship at the beIN SPORTS TV taping portion of the AZTECA LUCHA event from the sold out Cicero Stadium in Chicago on Saturday, May 11.
This bout is a part of the beIN SPORTS TV taping portion of the event.
A monumental 4-way battle for the MLW Women's World Featherweight Championship has been added to the sold MLW May 11 event at Cicero Stadium in Chicago.
Fed up with challengers clamoring for title shots, Janai Kai, against the wishes of Salina de la Renta, has boldly accepted the challenge of facing all three contenders in one epic showdown. Determined to intimidate the entire women’s division and solidify her status as the most dominant fighter and champion in the sport, Janai Kai is prepared to leave everything on the line in front of a sold-out Cicero Stadium.
Leading the charge is the internationally acclaimed Miyu Yamashita, whose reputation as a world-class wrestler precedes her. Making her MLW debut in December, Yamashita delivered a stellar performance against "God Queen" Delmi Exo, emerging victorious in an unforgivingly physical bout. With a background in MMA and karate, Yamashita's strikes are legendary, setting the stage for a fascinating showdown against the feared striker Janai Kai.
Speaking of Delmi Exo, the former MLW Women's World Featherweight Champion has been relentless in her pursuit of redemption since losing the title to Kai last October. Despite her unwavering determination to secure a one-on-one rematch, Exo has found herself thwarted by the evasive tactics of Promociones Dorado. Nevertheless, Exo remains a force to be reckoned with, especially now that her career is managed by Cesar Duran.
Rounding out the competition is Zayda, who has long lamented being overlooked for a title opportunity. Now, with her grievances addressed, Zayda finally gets her chance to shine before a capacity crowd at Cicero Stadium, ready to seize the moment and etch her name in MLW history. | Lucha Azteca TrillerTV+ card MLW World Middleweight Title Fight

MLW’s return to Chicago sells out, Breaks all-time box office recordWatch MLW AZTECA LUCHA on TrillerTV+ live May 11 |  | Chicago, IL - April 29, 2024 - Major League Wrestling (MLW) is proud to announce that after a five-year hiatus, the highly anticipated return to Chicago's Cicero Stadium on May 11th has officially sold out, smashing the league’s all-time box office gate records.
This monumental achievement continues MLW's streak of sellout events, with every show in 2024 selling out, further solidifying MLW’s status as a premier destination for wrestling fans worldwide.
MLW AZTECA Lucha, which will stream live and exclusively worldwide on TrillerTV+ on Saturday, May 11th, sold out a full two weeks ahead of taking place, underscoring the anticipation and excitement surrounding MLW's return to the Windy City.
While all available tickets are gone, fans are encouraged to stay tuned, as additional seats may become available on the day of the show, pending production logistics.
MLW CEO Court Bauer expressed his gratitude to Chicago fans and the company as a whole, stating, "Thank you, Chicago. To sell out the biggest arena we run is a huge triumph. This is a big milestone as MLW's best year of business to date in the history of the league. From our Boss Fight Studios action figures selling out to arenas selling out, this is an unprecedented era for MLW. None of this happens without the fans' support, the wrestlers' work in and away from the ring, and the grind of our production team and front office. We're all pumped to now bring it on May 11. Chicago and fans watching on TrillerTV+ are in for a very special night."
As excitement continues to build for the event, more matches are set to be announced for Chicago. In addition to the AZTECA Lucha TrillerTV+ premium live event that night, MLW will also film a beIN SPORTS broadcast, which will air on a separate date. | Lucha Azteca TrillerTV+ card MLW World Middleweight Title Fight

A high-stakes championship showdown is for the hallowed grounds of Cicero Stadium in Chicago in a first-time ever encounter.
Salina de la Renta, the mastermind behind this title bout, has once again showcased her prowess in securing high-profile matches, orchestrating a showdown that has fans on the edge of their seats. Bad Dude Tito Escondido is on the hunt for gold. Having made the move from the illegal underground fighting circuit in California to New Japan Pro Wrestling and now MLW, Escondido now sets his sights on claiming his first title in MLW, and his path to glory runs directly through Rickey Shane Page.
Page, the second-longest reigning MLW National Openweight Champion in history, has proven himself as a formidable force. Having captured the championship from Jacob Fatu last September, Page now faces his first title defense since the dissolution of The Calling. With Sami Callihan and RSP going their own ways, Page finds himself standing alone, ready to defend his title against the relentless onslaught of Bad Dude Tito.
This title match-up holds significance beyond the championship gold, as it serves as a litmus test for Rickey Shane Page's ability to thrive in the absence of his Carcosa brotherhood. At a crossroads, Page's resilience and adaptability will be put to the ultimate test against the relentless assault of grappler Bad Dude Tito Escondido.
Notably, this match will not be part of the ongoing wager between Salina de la Renta and Cesar Duran, as it does not feature an Azteca Lucha luchador facing off against a representative from Salina's Promociones Dorado. Nevertheless, the stakes of this encounter remain unparalleled as the MLW National Openweight Championship hangs in the balance with a ferocious challenger facing a wicked and dangerous champion.

Atlantis, an icon of lucha libre with an illustrious career spanning four decades, will step onto American soil for a rare bout as the beloved técnico leads his team into a trios showdown. With no challenger able to strip him of his mask in over 40 years, Atlantis stands as a testament to the essence of lucha libre.
Joining Atlantis’ team is Guerrero Maya Jr., embodying the classic lucha style with every move, and Jesus Rodriguez, the enforcer for Salina de la Renta's Promociones Dorado, determined to secure victory for his boss.
On the opposing side, El Felino leads an all-star trios team, representing the interests of Cesar Duran in their high-stakes wager against Salina de la Renta. A fierce rudo with a penchant for rule-breaking, Felino brings a stack of championship belts and a reputation for dominance to the ring. Alongside him stand the enigmatic Virus, whose war paint and alliance with Cesar Duran add an unpredictable edge to the match, and Villano III Jr., representing the new generation of one of Mexico's most storied lucha families, blending high-flying feats with ruthless tactics.
This showdown not only promises pulse-pounding lucha action but also carries significant stakes, as Salina de la Renta and Cesar Duran have a wager riding on the outcome of their matches May 11.

However, standing in Riddle's path is none other than Josh Bishop, a rising star under the guidance of huckster promoter Saint Laurent.

The upcoming match between Riddle and Bishop is set to be a heavyweight division collision, as the undefeated Riddle squares off against Bishop's formidable raw power.
For Bishop, a victory over Riddle would not only solidify his arrival in MLW but would also serve as a statement victory, signaling he is as a force to be reckoned with in MLW.

Major League Wrestlingtoday announced a monumental showdown for the vacant MLW World Tag Team Championship, set to take place at MLW: Azteca Lucha in Chicago on May 11 at Cicero Stadium.
CozyMAX, comprised of MLW World Heavyweight Champion Satoshi Kojima and Okumura, will go head-to-head against The Second Gear Crew (SGC), featuring Matthew Justice and 1 Called Manders for the first-time ever with gold and history hanging in the balance.
This highly anticipated matchup will see the two top teams in the division collide, with only one emerging victorious and crowned the next MLW World Tag Team Champions.
The decision to vacate the titles came in the wake of the attack orchestrated by CONTRA Unit during War Chamber II this past Saturday (watch). The shock and terror of CONTRA’s attack left Tom Lawlor hospitalized and Davey Boy Smith Jr. unable to compete, resulting in the championship committee declaring the titles vacant.
Despite threats and demands for MLW to surrender the tag team titles to CONTRA, MLW stood firm against threats from CONTRA Unit, refusing to give the belts to the international cabal in the wake of their targeted attacks.
As a result, for the first time in MLW history, the prestigious tag team championship is vacant, setting the stage for a championship showdown between CozyMAX and The Second Gear Crew in Chicago.
The Second Gear Crew, also known as SGC, boasts a formidable resume, with previous reigns as MLW World Tag Team Champions. Should they emerge victorious at MLW: Azteca Lucha, they will etch their names in the history books as the first-ever two-time MLW World Tag Team Champions.
Manders and Justice have stood atop of the tag team division, ready for a crack at becoming champions once again, despite being denied an obligated title rematch by the World Titan Federation Superstars®. Now, they have a chance to finally fight for gold and become two-time champs.
On the other hand, CozyMAX has been a dominant force since establishing their team earlier this year, remaining undefeated in tag team action. A win for Kojima would not only secure the MLW World Tag Team Championship but also mark a historic moment as he adds another accolade to his illustrious career as the reigning MLW World Heavyweight Champion.
For Okumura, this would be a golden milestone as the Mexican based fighter celebrates 30 years of competition this year.
However, with the looming threat of CONTRA Unit's interference, the question remains: will they attempt to hijack this pivotal matchup?
MLW invites fans worldwide to witness history in the making as CozyMAX and The Second Gear Crew collide for the vacant MLW World Tag Team Championship at MLW: Azteca Lucha.

MLW today announced the vacancy of the MLW World Tag Team Championships following the devastating events that unfolded during War Chamber II, which streamed for free on MLW's YouTube channel this past Saturday night (watch).
The World Titan Federation’s Davey Boy Smith Jr., Richard Holliday, and Tom Lawlor, were decimated by CONTRA Unit in a display of terror and brutality. As a result, "Filthy" Tom Lawlor was rushed to the hospital with severe injuries sustained during the altercation.
Despite the efforts of Huckster promoter Saint Laurent, who has remained tight-lipped about the specifics of Lawlor's condition citing the murky World Titan Federation-Superstar HIPAA policies, it has been confirmed that the reigning MLW World Tag Team Champions have suffered injuries that prevent them from defending their titles within the contractually obligated window.
With MLW CEO Court Bauer currently on leave of office due to his own injuries suffered at the hands of CONTRA, league officials convened with the championship committee, comprised of promoters within MLW's strategic alliance. Following careful deliberation, the championship committee has unanimously voted to vacate the MLW World Tag Team Championships.
This marks the first time in league history that the prestigious MLW World Tag Team Titles have been declared vacant, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
In response to this unprecedented development, MLW has swiftly organized a sudden death World Tag Team Championship bout, set to take place in Chicago on May 11 at MLW: Azteca Lucha.
Cesar Duran, the promoter of record for AZTECA LUCHA, is currently in discussions with league officials and the championship committee to determine the two teams who will vie for the opportunity to become the next MLW World Tag Team Champions. The identities of these teams will be revealed imminently, promising an a historic showdown for Chicago and fans watching worldwide.
In light of CONTRA Unit's continued reign of terror, MLW is also taking proactive measures to enhance security at its events, ensuring the safety of all competitors and attendees.
Stay tuned to MLW's official channels for further updates on the World Tag Team Championship bout and all developments within Major League Wrestling.
