Matt Riddle vs. Brick Savage
The main event brings the Rude Dude face-to-face with CONTRA Unit’s newest weapon. Matt Riddle has never been shy about running toward danger, and now that danger has a name: Brick Savage. Backed by Josef Samael and the black flag, Brick enters MLW with one purpose: destruction in service of CONTRA’s crusade. Riddle may be confident, loose, and ready to fight, but Brick Savage is not here for a normal debut. He is here to make a statement on behalf of a movement that has been growing darker by the week. Can Riddle crack the monster before the monster cracks him?
Opera Cup Opening Round: LaBron Kozone vs. Joe Coffey
The 2026 Opera Cup opening round begins, and for LaBron Kozone, it gets personal fast.
After Glasgow Boys On Top bragged about beating down Teddy Long, Kozone has been looking for payback. Now he gets his chance against Joe Coffey, the rugged Scotsman who has already handed Kozone a painful lesson. Will Kozone avenge his loss to Coffey and move forward in the oldest wrestling tournament in the sport? Or will he go 0-2 against GBOT and watch his Opera Cup dreams end before they truly begin? The Cup is about legacy, but for Kozone, this one is about revenge.
Opera Cup Opening Round: Diego Hill vs. Anthony Greene
Diego Hill begins his Opera Cup journey against the crafty and charismatic Anthony Greene. Hill has learned under the legendary Blue Panther, gaining valuable lessons in lucha technique, timing, and ring awareness. But Greene is a wily competitor who knows how to steal momentum, frustrate opponents, and turn opportunity into advancement. One man moves forward. One man watches the Cup slip away.
ZAMAYA in Action
The undefeated ZAMAYA returns to action as the World of Z continues to expand. Every fight has been another warning. Every victory has made Major League Z feel less like a slogan and more like a hostile takeover. ZAMAYA has been carving through the women’s division with dominance, attitude, and total confidence. Who can stop the undefeated force from Parts Unknown?
MLW Championship Landscape Changes Forever

The MLW World Heavyweight Champion Killer Kross may have an IOU hanging over his reign. Matt Riddle has orbited the Blood King’s title picture for weeks, and after the chaos surrounding Kross’ championship battles, one question remains: does Kross owe the Rude Dude If there is a debt to settle, Riddle may be ready to collect.
