LOS ANGELES – Major League Wrestling (MLW) today announced NJPW’s Shane Haste will participate in the 40-wrestler Battle RIOT match at the MLW Battle RIOT VII on Saturday, April 5 at the sold out Thunder Studios Arena in greater Los Angeles, CA and presented live on YouTube.
🎟 MLW Battle RIOT in Long Beach is sold out. REMINDER: MLW has upgraded to a larger venue to host its LA debut: the Thunder Studios Arena in nearby Long Beach, CA.
MLW is proud to announce that Shane Haste of New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) will make his MLW debut when he enters the Battle RIOT, bringing a blend of power, unpredictability, and elite-level experience to MLW’s most chaotic showdown.
Standing 6’2” tall and weighing in at 220 pounds, the hard-hitting Australian has carved out a reputation in NJPW for his dynamic style and devastating finishers. Armed with moves like the Bomb Valley Death, Tankbuster, Power Bottom, Olivia Newton Bomb, and Thunder Valley, Haste is a force to be reckoned with in any ring—and now, he’s entering a battlefield where 39 other competitors stand in his way.
Haste has built a global reputation as a fierce competitor who can brawl, grapple, and fly with the best of them. Now he brings that experience and explosiveness to MLW, where the stakes are higher than ever.
In a match with no disqualifications, weapons welcomed, and eliminations by pinfall, submission, or over-the-top-rope, Haste enters the 40-wrestler extravaganza with the potential to go the distance and walk out of Los Angeles with the MLW World Heavyweight Championship.
