MLW News: Four More Competitors Announced For Battle Riot

With MLW’s Battle Riot now just over a month away on July 19th from the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, New York, today MLW has announced that Barrington Hughes, Pentagon Jr, Jake Hager and Jimmy Yuta have all officially entered. Below is MLW’s full announcement:

Pentagon Jr., Jake Hager, Jimmy Yuta and 469 pound super heavyweight Barrington Hughes added to MLW Battle Riot match on July 19th in NYC

NEW YORK – Four new participants have been added to the first-ever Battle Riot on July 19th at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, NY.  Major League Wrestling announced on Friday’s MLW FUSION that Pentagon Jr., Jake Hager, Jimmy Yuta and Barrington Hughes round out the first 10 wrestlers scheduled to compete in the 40-wrestler bout.

The Battle Riot® is the main event of the MLW July 19th card and FUSION TV taping in New York City at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, NY. 

Tickets are available now at: https://mlwnyc.eventbrite.com.

A mash-up of a battle royal, royal rumble and anything goes street fight, this super-sized main event will feature 40 wrestlers with new participants entering the ring every 60 seconds.

There will be surprises! There will be legends! There will be WTF entries! And there will be no disqualifications!

Elimination is by pinfall, submission or by throwing an individual over the top rope. Hypothetically Tom Lawlor and Team Filthy can get a grappler down, put each arm in an arm bar, while 2 guys put him in ankle locks to tap him out!

Anything is possible July 19th in a Battle Riot! 

What does the winner get? 

The winner gets a World Heavyweight Title Shot anywhere, anytime!  It could be that night; it could be in 6 months. The challenger has the key to unlock an instant title shot against whoever the champion is!
