Josh Bishop Speaks: The World Championship Changes Everything
Josh Bishop is the MLW World Heavyweight Champion. After dethroning Killer Kross at Saturday Night SuperFight, the Intense Icon steps in front of the press with the richest prize in Major League Wrestling.
Hear from the newly crowned champion in the immediate aftermath of his career-defining victory. Bishop fought his way out of The Skyscrapers’ shadow and all the way to the top of the sport. Now comes the question every champion must answer: what happens when everyone is coming for you?
There is no quiet first week for the new champion. With the league reacting to his victory and challengers looking for their opening, Bishop’s reign begins under a spotlight that is only getting brighter.
MLW vs. STARDOM: International Pride. Main Event Stakes.
STARDOM’s H.A.T.E. brings its fight to MLW as Saya Kamitani and RINA enter a six-woman main event against an MLW team featuring Scarlett Bordeaux, ZAMAYA and Shotzi. Both promotions are bringing some of their finest to Philadelphia, and neither side intends to give an inch.
Kamitani and RINA want to make H.A.T.E.’s presence impossible to ignore. Across the ring, Scarlett’s ambition and ZAMAYA’s overwhelming power give MLW plenty of firepower to answer them. Individual talent is not in question—but turning it into a winning team is another challenge entirely.
Can H.A.T.E.’s cohesion overcome MLW’s home-ring advantage? Or will MLW’s representatives send STARDOM a message of their own? This is no friendly exhibition. International pride and standing in the women’s division are on the line, and the main event is worth clearing your evening for.
Austin Aries vs. LaBron Kozone: One Win From the Opera Cup Final
Austin Aries left Saturday Night SuperFight with the MLW National Openweight Championship after going the distance with Matt Riddle. Now, the champion must turn his attention to LaBron Kozone with a place in the 2026 Opera Cup final at stake.
Aries has spent this tournament treating the Cup like something that already belongs to him. Kozone has fought his way into the semifinals with the opportunity to make the biggest statement of his MLW career: eliminate the National Openweight Champion and move within one victory of the trophy.
The veteran has the experience, the ego, and a willingness to take any opening. Kozone has the heavy hands and the ambition to make Aries regret looking past him. Can the Phantom of the Opera Cup keep his plans intact, or is the Ring Warrior about to ruin everything?
Matt Riddle Isn’t Finished Chasing Gold
The Rude Dude is in the house, and his championship ambitions did not end at SuperFight. After pushing Aries to the limit, Matt Riddle remains determined to get his hands on MLW gold.
MLW Insider Rich Bocchini catches up with Riddle about what comes next. Getting a straight answer from the Rude Dude is rarely straightforward, but the question beneath it all is serious: how does Riddle turn unfinished business into another championship opportunity?
CONTRA Targets Místico. MLW Braces for What Comes Next.
CONTRA Unit’s shocking attack on Místico at Saturday Night SuperFight has escalated the international cabal’s crusade. Targeting Mexico’s greatest luchador of the twenty-first century sends a message far beyond MLW’s locker room.
Now, the fallout from that assault hangs over Fusion. What does Josef Samael want from this war with lucha libre, and who could be next in CONTRA’s sights? The black flag has already shown what it is willing to do to make the wrestling world pay attention.
MLW Southern Crown Champion Trevor Lee also has something to get off his chest following Brick Savage’s vicious attack. For Lee, the assault struck at a moment that should have been about celebrating his family. Hear from the champion as he addresses what happened and what comes next.
JUMBO: Three Opponents. Four Hundred Pounds of Trouble.
JUMBO returns to action, and this time it takes three opponents to line up across from the Big 400. MLW’s is reinforcing the ring, but the men facing him may be more concerned about protecting themselves.
Can three wrestlers find a way to contain JUMBO’s overwhelming power? The numbers have changed, but the size of the problem has not.
Don Gato Is in the House
Don Gato brings cool times to Philadelphia as the celebration of big fights continues. With the lucha legend making his presence felt, MLW Nation should keep an eye on more than the action inside the ropes.
Saturday Night SuperFight changed who stands at the top of MLW. Now comes the fallout, and nobody is waiting patiently for a turn. Hear from the new World Champion and watch MLW take on STARDOM tonight at 8 PM ET, streaming free on Tubi.
