Alex Kane and Bad Dude Tito Escondido face off in a thrilling Opera Cup quarterfinal match on August 29 at the Melrose Ballroom in New York City. This showdown pits two of the league’s top grapplers against each other with their sights set on advancing in the historic tournament.
Both Kane and Tito earned their spots in the quarterfinals with decisive victories at MLW’s Never Say Never event over the weekend. Kane, a former MLW World Heavyweight Champion and MLW National Openweight Champion, showcased his prowess by defeating his friend Mr. Thomas. Meanwhile, Tito secured his advancement by pinning the formidable Danny Jones, of the United Kingdom.
Bad Dude Tito, the reigning MLW National Openweight Champion, has been on a meteoric rise, especially since aligning with lucha empresario Salina de la Renta. His growing profile and momentum have made him a formidable force in MLW. However, Alex Kane, known for his devastating Fade 2 Black chokehold, poses a significant challenge.
The 2024 Opera Cup, the longest-running tournament in professional wrestling, has expanded to 16 participants this year, adding more rounds and international intrigue. With representatives from New Japan Pro Wrestling and Mexico’s CMLL in the mix, the stakes are higher than ever, as competitors aim to bring the antique Opera Cup trophy back to their home countries.
Will Tito’s momentum continue with what could be the biggest win of his MLW career, or will Kane make him fade to black in front of the New York crowd?
Lock in your tickets now at http://www.MLWNYC.com and see it go down Thursday, August 29 in New York City.
