Major League Wrestling held its Fightland event on Saturday, September 13, from the NYTEX Sports Centre in North Richland Hills, Texas. The show was a newsworthy one, featuring the start of the prestigious Opera Cup tournament and a shocking conclusion to the main event that saw a new MLW World Heavyweight Champion crowned. The night was filled with hard-hitting action and significant storyline developments that will shape the future of the company. The event also featured a surprise appearance from AEW star MJF, who had a backstage confrontation with his former Dynasty stablemate, Alex Hammerstone.
The main event was originally scheduled to be Matt Riddle defending the MLW World Championship against Donovan Dijak. However, before the match could begin, Mads Krule Krugger activated his “Gravity Gamble” contract, inserting himself into the match and turning it into a triple threat. Krugger capitalized on the chaos and ultimately defeated both men to become the new MLW World Heavyweight Champion.
