AKIRA and Raven’s war with The Calling reaches its violent final battle inside the 2-ring WAR CHAMBER cage!

The final battlefield approaches in the Calling’s Civil War. Two teams of four strive to survive and thrive in a 2-ring carbonite cage known as the War Chamber. Can AKIRA and Raven finally put an end to warped Carcosa collective of Sami Callihan and Rickey Shane Page’s following?

Matt Riddle and Timothy Thatcher, hailed as two of the best pound-for-pound fighters, are poised to reignite their intense rivalry in a battle that promises to impact the top 10 and put one of the two in the mix for a title shot. A brilliant style vs style of combat will be showcased with Riddle’s dynamic hybrid wrestling style, seamlessly blending elements of MMA with high-flying and technical prowess, goes head-to-head against Thatcher’s punishing catch wrestling style.

The action doesn’t stop there, as World Heavyweight Champion Satoshi Kojima puts his gold on the line against Salina de la Renta’s newest signee, Bad Dude Tito Escondido in a big title fight.

The “Queen of Mexico” has been quick to wheel and deal, securing Bad Dude Tito a title shot. However, standing in Tito’s path to glory is the only two-time World Heavyweight Champion in MLW history, Satoshi Kojima.

Can Bad Dude Tito shake up the league and present the World Heavyweight Championship to Salina on a silver platter, or will there be a bread party following a triumphant title defense by Kojima? Tune in and find out!

Following CONTRA Unit’s savage attach in New York City, the international cabal has sent threats of an imminent attack in Tampa Bay! With rumors of a CONTRA soldier returning to the ranks, what could Mads Krule Krugger unleash next?

In another high stakes bout, the war between Saint Laurent’s World Titan Federation Superstars® and The Bomaye Fight Club heats up as “Filthy” Tom Lawlor and Davey Boy Smith Jr put their World Tag Team Championships on the line against Bomaye captain Alex Kane and Mr Thomas… and AJ Francis promises to be on site for this title fight.

CMLL’s new era of lucha will be showcased as Star Jr, presented by Salina de la Renta takes to the skies against Virus, under the tutelage of Cesar Duran. As tensions between Salina and Cesar continue to escalate, all roads lead to AZTECA Lucha on May 11 in Chicago. Who will gain the upperhand in Lucha Libre’s bitter turf war?

Plus, Brett Ryan Gosselin, the debut of Sophia Castillo and more!

MLW’s Jacob Fatu Is Now A Free Agent

Just as The Bloodline saga has taken yet another turn in WWE, another member of the fabled Anoa’i family has hit the free agent market, as former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Jacob Fatu’s contract with the company has come to an end. A tweet from WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, Fatu’s uncle, raised eyebrows this week, calling Fatu “the baddest talented Indy worker on the scene” and wondering, “Who will sign him?” while tagging the official X accounts of both WWE and AEW.

Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net was then able to confirm Fatu’s contract status, citing independent sources, while also reporting he is still set to appear for MLW in Philadelphia during the company’s tapings tonight, where he will square off against Yuji Nagata. At this point, with The Rock now seemingly set to square off against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, to speculate on just about anyone getting involved in that story as they battle for the claim to “The Head of the Table” is fair, and it would make just as much sense for Fatu, son of Samuel Fatu (The Tonga Kid), to get involved as nearly any other available family member.

In fact, Fatu showed interest in just that as recently as last year. Of course, WWE shouldn’t be his only option, as interest is likely to be significant for “The Samoan Werewolf,” who held the MLW World Heavyweight Championship for more than two years between 2019 and 2021. Fatu is a 12-year pro who already in 2024 has appeared in MLW, GCW, NJPW, and elsewhere, and has been ranked in the PWI 500 each year since 2019, peaking at #20 in 2020 and finishing just outside the top-50 in 2023 at #53.

MLW Hypes RELOAD Special This Saturday

MLW touted its RELOAD special this Saturday. MLW issued the following:

MLW presents 2 hour RELOAD special this Saturday on beIN SPORTS nationwide on cable, streaming on YouTube

[NEW YORK] – Major League Wrestling (MLW) is set to ignite the airwaves with a spectacular two-hour free special event, “MLW RELOAD,” broadcasting nationwide on cable on beIN SPORTS (find a provider) and streaming live on MLW’s YouTube Channel.

This exclusive simulcast airs 10 pm ET this Saturday, January 20, delivering an electrifying experience to fans across the country watching on cable TV and dish as well as streaming worlwide.

The highly anticipated MLW RELOAD special boasts a double main event that promises to be an unforgettable clash of titans.

In a historic showdown, Satoshi Kojima faces off against Sami Callihan for the first time in their illustrious careers. The match signifies the in-ring return of Callihan, who stirred up controversy at MLW Kings of Colosseum, leading to a pier 6 brawl between the two. The question looms – is Kojima entering a trap just two weeks before he challenges for the MLW World Heavyweight Title at SuperFight in Philadelphia?

Adding to the excitement, the two-hour special will witness MLW World Heavyweight Champion Alex Kane teaming up with Matt Riddle for the first time ever. Their formidable alliance will be put to the test against the World Titan Federation’s top Superstars®, captained by cage fighter turned sports entertainer “Filthy” Tom Lawlor. This clash of titans is sure to set the stage for an epic confrontation.

As if the double main event weren’t enough, MLW RELOAD promises more thrilling matches that will be revealed in the days ahead leading up to the event.

What makes this special event even more remarkable is that it is absolutely free! MLW invites fans to gather their friends, fire up their group chats, and schedule watch parties to experience MLW RELOAD on cable via beIN SPORTS and streaming live on MLW’s YouTube channel.
