Last Man Standing Match For MLW World Heavyweight Title Set For Saturday Night SuperFight

Last Man Standing match for the World Title.

Major League Wrestling is piecing together the lineup for the Saturday Night SuperFight show on November 7th in Cicero, Illinois.

The organization made the announcement that Killer Kross will be defending the MLW World Heavyweight Title at the show. He’ll put the belt on the line against Josh Bishop in a Last Man Standing match.

Below is MLW’s write-up about the bout:

“Major League Wrestling today announced MLW World Heavyweight Champion Killer Kross vs. Josh Bishop in a Last Man Standing match at Saturday Night SuperFight on Saturday, November 7, LIVE worldwide on pay-per-view exclusively on VEEPS from sold-out Cicero Stadium in Chicago. Fans can pre-order MLW’s signature pay-per-view now on VEEPS.

Their first World Championship fight left Bishop bloodied and the ring stripped to its boards. Kross survived that No Holds Barred encounter by choking the challenger unconscious with the Kross Jacket, but the “Intense Icon” emerged determined to force another fight.

Then, in New York City, Bishop did what no one in MLW had done before: he pinned Killer Kross.

Competing alongside Donovan Dijak against Kross and Matt Riddle in a New York City Street Fight, Bishop absorbed the champion’s Diamond Cutter, answered with Exit 187 and secured the three-count. Four years of Kross never being pinned in an MLW ring ended at Bishop’s hands. Suddenly, the challenger’s pursuit of the World Heavyweight Championship carried something far more dangerous than ambition: proof.

Addressing the defeat on Fusion, Kross acknowledged Bishop’s ability and advocated for another championship opportunity. Even as Dijak attempted to claim credit for the victory and push himself to the front of the line, the champion made clear who had earned the fight.

MLW officials agreed. As announced by Rich Bocchini on Fusion, Bishop will get his rematch at Saturday Night SuperFight—with a stipulation that demands a decisive ending.

There will be no pinfalls and no submissions. To leave Chicago with the MLW World Heavyweight Championship, one man must render the other unable to answer the referee’s ten-count.

For Bishop, this is the opportunity to finish what he started and turn the biggest victory of his career into a championship breakthrough. For Kross, it is a test of his reign against a challenger who has already endured his punishment, pushed him to the limit and put his shoulders on the mat.

Their first title fight ended with Bishop unconscious. Their next encounter ended with Kross pinned. In Chicago, the championship belongs to the last man standing.

Saturday Night SuperFight is sold out. The only way to watch LIVE worldwide is on VEEPS. Pre-order now and watch November 7 on the VEEPS app, your favorite streaming device or VEEPS.com.”

IWGP Heavyweight Champion Yota Tsuji is scheduled to appear at Saturday Night SuperFight.
