MLW Adds Second Chicago Show for November 8

Major League Wrestling is turning its Chicago return into a full weekend, announcing a second event at Cicero Stadium for Sunday, November 8, just one day after its previously scheduled show on Saturday, November 7.

The newly added Sunday date will be a taping for MLW Fusion, the promotion’s flagship weekly series, giving fans in attendance a hand in shaping upcoming episodes. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 21 at 10 a.m. CT through MLWLucha.com, with prices starting at just $10.

MLW has already confirmed a stacked lineup of names for the Sunday show, headlined by MLW World Heavyweight Champion Killer Kross. Also announced are Místico, Matt Riddle, Último Guerrero, The Good Brothers, Austin Aries, Templario, Titán, Esfinge, ZAMAYA, Don Gato, CONTRA Unit, LaBron Kozone, Trevor Lee, Josh Bishop, “Filthy” Tom Lawlor and Andrew Everett, with more talent still to be revealed.

The expansion into a two-night event underscores how aggressively MLW has been building out its presence beyond its usual touring stops. Cicero Stadium hosting back-to-back nights signals real confidence in the Chicago market, and the mix of names on the card — from luchadores tied to Mexico’s biggest promotions to indie and veteran stars like Aries, Riddle and Lawlor — reflects MLW’s continued strategy of blending international talent with familiar American wrestling faces.

Adding a second Fusion taping also gives MLW a chance to bank extra television content in one trip, a common approach for promotions looking to maximize a single travel weekend while giving fans more bang for their buck. The $10 starting price point is notably accessible, and pairing that with a loaded roster suggests MLW is looking to pack the building and make a statement in a city it hasn’t always featured prominently on its calendar.

With the first night’s card details still to come and more names expected to be added for Sunday, the Chicago weekend is shaping up as one of MLW’s biggest live showings of the fall. Fans looking to attend either night will want to move quickly once tickets go live this Friday, given the low buy-in and the depth of the announced roster.

Expect additional matches, segments and appearances to be rolled out for both November 7 and November 8 in the coming weeks as MLW continues building toward its Chicago doubleheader.
