National Openweight title match added to MLW Battle Riot IV

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Davey Richards is getting another shot to become MLW National Openweight Champion.

MLW has announced that Alex Kane will defend his National Openweight title against Richards at Battle Riot IV in New York City on Thursday, June 23. The show is a television taping for MLW Fusion.

Kane and Richards went to a 20-minute time limit draw when Richards answered Kane’s open challenge at MLW’s Kings of Colosseum tapings this May.

Kane has been MLW National Openweight Champion since winning the title in a five-way ladder match last November.

“Since signing last May, Alex Kane has dominated the competition and conquered all in his way to winning and retaining the National Openweight Championship. Tossing adversaries effortlessly en route to ‘Suplex Island,’ Kane is a grappling machine, cleaning out the division… except for one man: ‘The American Wolf’ Davey Richards,” MLW wrote.

“Following their controversial clash in Philadelphia, Richards now looks to shut up and tap out the braggadocious ‘Suplex Assassin’ and complete his year-long hunt for gold.”

Kane and Richards will both also be competing in the 40-man Battle Riot match at Battle Riot IV. The winner of that match receives an MLW World Heavyweight Championship shot whenever they want it.

MLW has revealed the date and location for their Battle Riot IV television taping. 

I was announced during tonight’s MLW SuperFight that Battle Riot IV will be held on Thursday, June 23 at the Melrose Ballroom in New York City. Tickets for the taping will go on sale on Tuesday, March 22 at 10 a.m. Eastern time. 

Battle Riot is a signature MLW match type where 40 men compete in a battle royal with timed entrances. Eliminations can occur by pinfall, submission, or being thrown over the top rope. The winner of the bout is guaranteed an MLW World Heavyweight Championship match at a time and place of their choosing. 

2021’s Battle Riot was held at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, where Alex Hammerstone won the Battle Riot match. 

Melrose Ballroom also hosted the 2019 and 2018 Battle Riot shows. LA Park won the Battle Riot bout in 2019, while “Filthy” Tom Lawlor won the match in 2018. 

The event was not held in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
