MLW FIGHTLAND main event announcement
MLW World Heavyweight Championship: Killer Kross vs. Josh Bishop — No Holds Barred
The Blood King steps into a fight with no safety net.
Killer Kross defends the MLW World Heavyweight Championship against Josh Bishop in a No Holds Barred main event from sold-out Chattanooga.
Bishop has become a dangerous new piece in The Skyscrapers’ war machine, and the group has made no secret of its championship ambitions. The Skyscrapers have already loomed over the tag team division, but now Bishop gets a direct shot at the biggest belt in Major League Wrestling.
For Kross, this is not just a title defense. It is a test of how far The Skyscrapers are willing to go to claim more gold… and how much punishment the champion is willing to absorb to keep his throne.
No holds barred means no excuses. No clean lanes. No easy escape.
Just the Blood King, a Skyscraper, and the MLW World Heavyweight Championship hanging in the balance.
MLW World Middleweight Championship: Templario vs. Diego Hill
A new reign begins as Templario defends the MLW World Middleweight Championship against rising middleweight player Diego Hill.
Fresh off defeating KUSHIDA in Mexico to capture the title, Templario kicks off his reign against one of the most exciting young athletes in MLW. He brings power, precision, and the pride of CMLL into his first defense.
But Diego Hill is not entering empty-handed. As the protégé of the legendary Blue Panther, Hill has learned the value of technique, timing, and lucha tradition from one of the sport’s great maestros.
Templario wants to establish dominance immediately. Hill wants to turn a major opportunity into a career-changing upset.
The middleweight division gets a championship fight with international stakes.
Lady Frost vs. Corinne Joy
Lady Frost takes on Corinne Joy in a women’s division clash loaded with new energy.
Frost has already made her arrival felt in MLW, bringing athleticism, confidence, and a cold-blooded edge to every fight. Corinne Joy steps deeper into the spotlight with a massive following behind her and the ambition to turn online buzz into in-ring momentum.
Corinne and Jazzy Yang have made it clear they are looking to influence the women’s title picture sooner rather than later. But Lady Frost is not here to be anyone’s stepping stone.
This is a chance for one woman to make a statement while the division keeps heating up.
Big Damo, With Josef Samael, vs. Andrew Everett
Big Damo steps into action with Josef Samael in his corner as he battles Andrew Everett.
That pairing alone should make MLW Nation uneasy.
Damo brings size, power, and blunt-force violence. Josef Samael brings prophecy, manipulation, and the violent doctrine of CONTRA Unit. Together, they represent a very different kind of threat: one built on destruction with terror behind it.
Across the ring, Everett brings speed, aerial danger, and the ability to strike from angles Damo may not expect. But escaping Big Damo’s reach is easier said than done, especially with Samael lurking nearby.
Don Gato Is in the House
Don Gato is in the house for cool times and big fights.
Where Don Gato goes, mystery and tequila follows. With championship fights, Opera Cup news, and Chattanooga rocking, the legend has picked the right place to take in the action.
MLW FIGHTLAND Main Event Revealed
MLW FIGHTLAND is coming, and the road back to Charleston is about to get a lot clearer.
MLW Nation will learn the main event for MLW’s return to the Holy City, setting the stage for one of the biggest fights on the upcoming calendar.
Who gets the spotlight? And what collision is waiting for Charleston?
What’s Next for The Skyscrapers?
Following the demise of Bishop Dyer, the future of The Skyscrapers is under the microscope.
Josh Bishop has stepped into the picture, Donovan Dijak still looms large, and the group’s hunger for gold has not slowed down. But with change comes instability. Are The Skyscrapers stronger than ever, or are cracks forming inside the tallest structure in MLW?
With Josh Bishop challenging for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship, the answer may arrive fast.
The Good Brothers Check In From the Road
The world tour of the world-famous Good Brothers continues.
“Machine Gun” Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows are making towns, holding gold, raising hell, and checking in from the road as the new MLW World Tag Team Champions.
What do the Good Brothers have to say while traveling the world with MLW gold? Knowing Gallows and Anderson, it will probably be loud, blunt, and just a little inappropriate.
The Rude Dude Unfiltered
Matt Riddle has something to say.
That usually means live rounds on the mic and no filter from the ultimate fighter. The Rude Dude has been circling the MLW World Heavyweight Championship scene, dealing with Skyscrapers, chaos, and unfinished business.
When Riddle goes unfiltered, nobody is safe from the truth — or whatever version of the truth comes flying out of his mouth.
2026 Opera Cup Brackets Revealed
The brackets for the 2026 Opera Cup will be revealed.
The oldest wrestling tournament in the sport returns with its antique trophy, deep history, and one of the richest prizes in Major League Wrestling. The Opera Cup is not just a tournament. It is a test of endurance, skill, toughness, and legacy.
Who enters the field? Who gets the hardest road? And who begins the march toward wrestling immortality?
MLW Nation gets the first look at the path to the Cup.

TESSA BLANCHARD IS JOINING MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING
Third-generation fighter joins MLW's women's division, debuts Sept. 12 at FIGHTLAND in Charleston
COURTESY CMLL
Charleston, SC – Sept. 1, 2026 – Tessa Blanchard is joining Major League Wrestling (MLW), the promotion announced today. Blanchard will make her highly anticipated MLW debut Saturday, September 12 at FIGHTLAND, live from Festival Hall in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, paired with an MLW FUSION television taping and fueled by Don Gato Tequila.
Fiercely driven and impossible to overlook, Tessa Blanchard is a diamond forged under pressure: brilliant, unbreakable and always ready to cut through the competition in MLW.
“Heavy is the crown, but legacy isn't handed to you... it’s forged under pressure,” said Blanchard. “I’ve earned my place as one of the best in the world at what I do, but I’m not coming to MLW to rest on the Blanchard name. MLW is bringing some of the purest, hardest-hitting action in the sport today, and the Undeniable Diamond belongs right at the top of it.”
Blanchard enters an MLW women's division that has become one of the deepest in the sport. Shotzi Blackheart currently holds the MLW Women's World Championship, having won the title from Shoko Nakajima on FUSION earlier this year. The division's championship lineage runs through Scarlett Bordeaux, Lady Frost, Zamaya, Priscilla Kelly and more.
Born and raised in the Carolinas, Blanchard now calls Mexico City home. Known throughout Mexico as La Gringa Más Mexicana, Tessa competes before as many as 18,000 passionate fans each week at the legendary Arena México. Immersion in lucha libre has added another dimension to an already complete wrestler, sharpening the timing, adaptability and instincts required to thrive on one of the sport’s most demanding stages.
A third-generation wrestler, Blanchard carries a legacy forged by father Tully Blanchard and grandfather Joe Blanchard. The family name may have created expectations, but Tessa’s accomplishments have established an identity and legacy all their own. Now she embarks on a new chapter in her career in MLW.
FIGHTLAND is one of MLW's signature annual events, running since 2018. The September 12 card features MLW's top fighters, including MLW World Heavyweight Champion Killer Kross, newly crowned Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers, National Openweight Champion Austin Aries, Southern Crown Champion Trevor Lee, plus Matt Riddle, Paul Walter Hauser, Donovan Dijak, LaBron Kozone and more.
Tickets start at $10 at www.MLWgo.com. MLW FUSION airs free Saturday nights on YouTube and VEEPS, plus Mondays on NJPW World.
