MLW taped matches for future programming before and after Saturday’s Never Say Never event from Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena. 

Below are spoilers from the show courtesy of PWInsider. 

  • Mr. Thomas w/O’Shay Edwards defeated J Boujii in a Bomaye Fight Club tryout match
    • Despite the loss, Boujii was offered a spot in the faction.

MLW returning to Orlando for Blood & Thunder TV tapings

Posted on by Joseph Currier

MLW is returning to Orlando this November.

It was announced today that MLW will be holding a set of television tapings called Blood & Thunder at GILT Nightclub in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, November 9. GILT Nightclub was the home venue for MLW when the promotion relaunched in 2017.

“We’ve been trying to make this happen for more than a year,” MLW CEO Court Bauer told the Orlando Sentinel. “So much of our DNA is anchored in Orlando. The fanbase is incredible, and the longer we were away, the more I thought, ‘We’ve gotta get back.’ So I have a lot of good feelings about returning.”

November 9 is the same day as AEW’s Full Gear pay-per-view, which is taking place in Baltimore, Maryland. The MLW tapings will be in the afternoon, with them starting at 4 p.m. Eastern time.

The Blood & Thunder tapings come a week after MLW’s first-ever PPV. Cicero Stadium in Cicero, Illinois is hosting the Saturday Night SuperFight  PPV on November 2.

Tickets for Blood & Thunder will go on sale next Monday (September 16) at 10 a.m. Eastern time.

Lawlor facing Contra Unit in a tag match (Lawlor’s partners have yet to be revealed), Sami Callihan vs. Mance Warner in a falls count anywhere match, and the National Openweight title tournament finals are also set for the June 1 tapings, along with the MLW debuts of Ross & Marshall Von Erich and Adam Brooks.
