MLW Sets VIP Meet & Greets For Sold-Out Chicago Shows

Major League Wrestling has announced VIP meet and greet experiences tied to its sold-out Chicago weekend, with sessions scheduled for Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8 at Cicero Stadium.

The meet and greets will run from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. CT on both days, ahead of Saturday Night SuperFight and Sunday’s MLW television taping. Doors for Saturday’s show open early, at 5:15 p.m. CT, giving fans extra time to get inside before the meet and greet window begins.

The announced lineup draws from MLW’s working relationships with New Japan Pro-Wrestling and CMLL, reflecting the increasingly international flavor of MLW’s roster and crossover events. Fans can expect to meet Yota Tsuji, Místico, Matt Riddle, Tessa Blanchard, Templario, Titán, Último Guerrero, Black Tiger, Esfinge and Keyra, with autograph, photo and combination packages available for pre-order through MLWVIP.com.

MLW is stressing that meet and greet passes are sold separately from event tickets — fans still need a valid ticket for the corresponding day to get into Cicero Stadium, and they’ll need proof of their VIP purchase on top of that. As is standard for this kind of announcement, the promotion noted that the listed talent is subject to change, with refunds available if that happens.

The fact that both Chicago shows are already sold out speaks to the momentum MLW has built with its international partnerships. Since reestablishing ties with New Japan and leaning further into lucha libre talent via CMLL, MLW has positioned itself as a home for cross-promotional dream matches that fans can’t easily see elsewhere in the U.S. market. A lineup featuring a rising New Japan star like Tsuji alongside lucha legends such as Místico and Último Guerrero, plus former WWE and NXT names like Riddle and Blanchard, underlines how wide MLW is casting its net for this event.

For the promotion, VIP experiences like this also serve as an added revenue stream and a way to deepen fan engagement beyond the shows themselves — something MLW has leaned into as it continues building out live events in markets like Chicago. With SuperFight and the following night’s TV taping already locked in as sellouts, the meet and greet rollout gives traveling fans another reason to build their weekend around the two shows.

Fans interested in securing a slot should head to MLWVIP.com before the options sell through, given the limited meet and greet windows on both days.
