MLW Battle Riot III doesn’t take place until Saturday, July 10, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the famous 2300 Arena. But the company announced on Wednesday that the show has already sold out.
With only three matches announced thus far, Major League Wrestling fans are swarming to the promotion’s first live show since March 2020 largely due to the buzz MLW has generated in recent months.
The official announcement from MLW’s website is as follows:
Major League Wrestling today announced its highly anticipated return, the Battle Riot III, on Saturday, July 10th in Philadelphia at the 2300 Arena has officially sold out.
The event is a full capacity sell-out and marks the first MLW card to feature a crowd since the MLW/AAA Super Series in March 2020.
“The excitement for MLW’s return is on a different level,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer. “This is the hottest ticket in league history and we can’t wait to kick off this new era with the fans live in attendance. We are back. We are ALL back.”
