Killer Kross is returning to MLW with a future world title shot in his sights.

This week’s episode of MLW Fusion saw the first five participants for the Battle Riot match revealed. The following names will be entering the match, set to take place on June 23 in New York City:

Lince Dorado
Marshall Von Erich
Alex Kane
Calvin Tankman
Killer Kross

Kross will make his first appearance for MLW since the Superfight tapings that took place in Charlotte in February. Lince Dorado made his MLW debut at the company’s recent Kings Of Colosseum television tapings in Philadelphia.

Battle Riot is a 40-man match where wrestlers are eliminated by either pinfall, submission, or going over the top rope. The winner of the Battle Riot match will receive a future title shot for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship.

.@bpritchard152 got to tell @realKILLERkross who his @WrestShowcase opponent will be.

Kross put over @TonyNese as a main event talent that no one should sleep on… but also warned Nese that it won't go well for him on September 3.
