A long time veteran hopes to finally become the next MLW World Heavyweight Champion.
Matt Riddle is scheduled to defend the MLW World Heavyweight Championship in the company’s annual Battle Riot match and it’s shaping up to be a star studded event featuring names from all kinds of professional wrestling. For those who don’t remember, Battle Riot is a 40-wrestler match where pinfalls, submissions, and over-the-top eliminations all count.
This is also the first time that the Battle RIOT match has been held for the World Heavyweight Championship. MLW has already confirmed several big names; former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Satoshi Kojima, Paul Walter Hauser, Bobby Fish, Jesus Rodriguez, Paul London, and Brock Anderson are just some of the competitors confirmed for the match.
CW Anderson hopes to finally win his first singles title in Major League Wrestling.
CW Anderson is a decorated veteran who has been through every match imaginable since his professional debut in 1994. Anderson has been in most of the major promotions; WWE, NWA, CZW, and most importantly, ECW. An established ECW vet who has been in plenty of bloodbaths and wars throughout his storied career, with some of his most notable battles being against Tommy Dreamer, Jerry Lynn, Steve Corino, and Rob Van Dam.
A Battle RIOT match is right up CW Anderson’s alley. He has the most experience in hardcore matches out of anyone and is currently in a dominant faction with Brock Anderson, Bobby Fish, and Brett Ryan Gosselin. The MLW veteran may not have any MLW titles under his belt, but can change in one match.
