MLW Storylines

A few major storylines are currently ongoing in MLW. “Filthy” Tom Lawlor won the championship from Low-Ki in February and defended the title against the former champion in March in a steel cage. Now, Lawlor will face the only person to beat him in MLW, Jimmy Havoc, who defeated him last July.

The Hart Foundation and MJF’s Dynasty are also feuding in MLW currently. After losing a middleweight championship match against Teddy Hart, MJR enlisted the help of Alex Hammerstone and Richard Holiday in his feud against the Harts. The Hart Foundation may hold all the gold but the Dynasty has a chance to get the upper-hand in their rivalry if they can put their opponents through tables tonight at Rise of the Renegades.

The CONTRA Unit will also be inside Melrose Ballroom tonight. The new faction consisting of Simon Grimm, Jacob Fatu, and Josef Samael caused a near riot in Chicago. They seem poised to do even worse tonight in New York.

MLW Schedule This Week

The promotion will then be back tomorrow night for Battle Riott II for a live 2-hour special which will air on BeIN Sports. Saturday’s show on the station will then be a replay.
