MLW is looking to continue to soar like the Falcons or the Hawks down in Atlanta after a sold out event this past weekend.

Major League Wrestling presented Battle Riot VI at the historic Center Stage down in the ATL and the place was packed to the gills for one of the promotion premier events. Now MLW has announced that another tentpole shows in Fightland will be making its way back to Atlanta on September 14. Tickets are set to go on sale this Wednesday, June 5 at 10 AM ET, and if Battle Riot is any indication, Major League Wrestling will have some surprises in store.

Battle Riot VI featured promoted acts such as Ernest “The Cat” Miller, Jimmy Yang and Violent J as participants in the 40-man match, but the real shining star of the show was Paul Walter Hauser. Hauser elminated several people in the match, including former World Champion Tom Lawlor before being eliminated by Sami Callihan. However, it was Matt Riddle winning the whole bout after tossing Callihan with the two being the final two entrants.

Primarily having a residence in the northeast, MLW has finally spread its wings after the pandemic and now have two consecutive sold out shows, one in Chicago and now in Atlanta. However, the company recently returned back to its roots when it returned to Tampa Bay back in March for their War Chamber event.

Currently advertised for Fightland is Riddle, Alex Kane and World Champion Satoshi Kojima who retained his title against the aforementioned Lawlor.

Davey Boy Smith, Jr. is returning to MLW for FIGHTLAND ’22. They made the announcement via Twitter after hyping a big announcement earlier in the day.

Smith has been a champion since leaving MLW

Smith left the promotion in December 2020 after losing to Low Ki in the first round of the Opera Cup.

After leaving MLW, WWE announced that Smith was signed in July 2021. He was later released that November without appearing on TV.

This past March, he debuted in NWA as Doug Williams’s partner in the Crockett Cup. In June, they would win the NWA Tag Team Championships from La Rebellion.

FIGHTLAND ’22 is scheduled to take place on Sunday, October 23 at a Fusion taping at the famed 2300 Arena.

The full title vs. title match between Jacob Fatu and Alex Hammerstone has been released for free.

On Oct. 7, Fatu put the MLW World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Hammerstone, who was the MLW National Openweight Champion. The action was held inside the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA.

Alex Hammerstone Ends Jacob Fatu’s Reign

Fatu’s massive 819-day reign as the MLW World Heavyweight Champion came to an end. Alex Hammerstone won the match and became an MLW “Champ-Champ.” Shortly after defeating Jacob Fatu, Hammerstone relinquished the MLW National Openweight Championship. Hammerstone held that title for 866 days.

Here’s the full match courtesy of the official YouTube channel of MLW.

Hammerstone’s beef with Fatu and the rest of CONTRA Unit doesn’t end here.

On Nov. 6, Alex Hammerstone will be teaming with EJ Nduka, Richard Holliday, and a mystery partner to take on CONTRA Unit (Jacob Fatu, Mads Krugger, Josef Samael & Ikuro Kwon) in a War Chamber Match. The match will be part of a set of MLW Fusion tapings in Philly.

The rules for the War Chamber Match are as follows:

• A coin toss determines which team enters first.
• 1-on-1 for 5:00 in stage 1 of the War Chamber.
• The winner of coin toss comes out for 2-on-1.
• Alternating teams have wrestlers enter every 2 minutes.
• Once all combatants are in the War Chamber, victory is won by submission, surrender or pinfall.

MLW Fightland will take place October 2nd from Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena. On October 7th, the event will air as a 1-hour special at 10 PM following a new episode of Dark Side of the Ring that will air at 9 PM.
