For the first time since April, Major League Wrestling will crown a new World Middleweight Champion—and the path to the gold runs straight through FIGHTLAND.
MLW Vice President of Wrestling Operations Salina de la Renta made it official: The championship that’s been in limbo for months will finally find its rightful owner.
The gold has been without a champion since Battle RIOT VII, when Mistico was forced to vacate the title due to injury. But in a moment of chaos, Ikuro Kwon stormed the scene and stole the title belt, hijacking it for CONTRA —without earning a single victory.
Now, the warlord of shadows has the chance to make his theft legal. But to do it, he must go through a man who has steamrolled every obstacle in his path.
Enter Templario.
The masked warrior from CMLL has been on an unstoppable crusade since arriving in MLW. With a mix of raw power, explosive speed, and an unshakable fighting spirit, Templario is undefeated in MLW competition—and the numbers don’t lie.
In his debut match at SuperFight, Templario shocked the world by pinning Mistico in tag team action, immediately establishing himself as a top-tier threat in the middleweight division. Since then, he’s dismantled every challenger with relentless ferocity and purpose. This isn’t just another fight for Templario—it’s a crusade.
Now, at FIGHTLAND, he gets his shot at the title… and the man who defiled it.
Kwon vs. Templario. A guaranteed new champion will be crowned.
Will Kwon’s reign of terror become reach new heights?
Or will Templario fulfill his destiny and rise as MLW’s next great champion?
