LOS ANGELES — Major League Wrestling (MLW) will host its highly anticipated annual event, Battle Riot VII, tonight at 10 PM ET / 7 PM PT at the Thunder Studios Arena in Long Beach, California. Fans unable to secure tickets can still watch the action live and free on MLW’s official YouTube channel.
The event has sold out twice, first at Commerce Casino and again at Thunder Studios, showcasing the overwhelming demand for MLW programming in the Los Angeles area. MLW President Cesar Duran expressed his gratitude to fans, stating, ‘Thank you for making this debut in Los Angeles unforgettable before I ring the belllllll.’
This year’s main event features a chaotic 40-wrestler Battle RIOT match, where Matt Riddle‘s MLW World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line. Competitors can be eliminated by pinfall, submission, or being thrown over the top rope, creating a dynamic and unpredictable atmosphere. ‘Can Riddle outlast 39 other warriors, or will a new World Champion be crowned tonight?’ Duran added.
In addition to the main event, fans can expect a variety of exciting matchups and surprises. Highlights include a title defense from MLW World Middleweight Champion Místico, who will face Templario, and a women’s championship bout where Delmi Exo defends her title against Japan’s Shoko Nakajima.
MLW promises a night filled with high-octane action as talents from various wrestling organizations collide, including CMLL and New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Debuting at the event, HIMAWARI, known for her dynamic performances in Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling, will face off against Janai Kai.
With general public doors opening at 5 PM, MLW also offers a Fan Expo prior to the event, featuring exclusive matches, meet-and-greets with wrestlers, live Q&A sessions, and more. The first 100 fans through the door will receive a limited-edition MLW Rally Towel, ensuring that those attending have an engaging experience.
