Pro wrestling stars Killer Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux are set to return to Major League Wrestling (MLW) on November 20, where they will face off against former MLW world heavyweight champion Matt Riddle in a highly anticipated match. The event, titled ‘MLW x Don Gato Tequila Live Wrestling Special,’ will take place at the Charleston Music Hall in Charleston, South Carolina. Kross, who has previously competed in MLW and is known for his dynamic in-ring style, will be accompanied by Bordeaux, a former WWE superstar who has also made her mark in the independent wrestling scene.
Kross and Bordeaux have been active in the independent wrestling circuit since their departure from WWE in 2021. Their return to MLW marks a significant moment for the promotion, which has been gaining traction with former WWE talent. The duo’s match against Riddle is seen as a ‘dream match’ due to their mutual respect and history in the wrestling world. Kross expressed his anticipation for the event, emphasizing his friendship with Riddle and the importance of maintaining their camaraderie despite the competitive nature of their match. Bordeaux, while not participating in the main event, has been involved in other matches, including a recent return to the ring with Jimmy Jacobs at a show in Detroit. Her upcoming matches in MLW are still in the works, with her focusing on building up her presence in the promotion.
The event also features other highlights, such as the MLW Tag Team Championship match between Donovan Dijak and Bishop Dyer. These two, along with other former WWE stars like Shotzi and Priscilla Kelly, have contributed to MLW’s growth in recent years. The presence of these high-profile names has helped attract new fans and solidify MLW’s position in the independent wrestling landscape. Kross’s comments on Riddle highlight a broader trend in the wrestling industry where former WWE talent is finding new opportunities in alternative promotions, driven by the desire for greater creative freedom and higher production value. As the ‘MLW x Don Gato Tequila Live Wrestling Special’ approaches, it is expected to be a memorable event for fans of both Kross and Riddle, showcasing the dynamic and evolving nature of professional wrestling.
