Kings of Colosseum (2025) is an upcoming professional wrestling event produced by Major League Wrestling (MLW). It will take place on January 11, 2025, at the NYTEX Sports Centre in North Richland Hills, Texas. It will be the fifth event under the Kings of Colosseum chronology.
Production
[edit]Background
[edit]Kings of Colosseum is a reoccurring professional wrestling supercard event produced by MLW that was first held on July 6, 2019. The first event would air live as a special episode of MLW's weekly television series, Fusion.[1][2][3]
On September 25, 2024, MLW announced that Kings of Colosseum would take place on January 11, 2025, at the NYTEX Sports Centre in North Richland Hills, Texas.[4][5]
Storylines
[edit]The card will consist of matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by MLW's writers. Storylines were played out on MLW Fusion, and the league's social media platforms.[6]
At Lucha Apocalypto, Místico successfully defended the MLW World Middleweight Championship against Titán and Averno, in a three-way match.[7] However, almost immediately after, he was attacked by Bárbaro Cavernario, pummeling and even unmasking the champion. Cavernario then challenged Místico to an MLW World Middleweight Championship match at Kings of Colosseum, which Místico accepted.[8]
Matt Riddle won the Battle Riot match to earn a "golden ticket" he could invoke for an MLW World Heavyweight Championship match at the time and place of his choosing. [9] Since then, Riddle had formed an alliance with world champion Satoshi Kojima as they and others faced the likes of the World Titan Federation and Contra Unit. At Slaughterhouse, after Riddle saved Kojima from a Contra attack, Riddle declared that he would invoke his golden ticket to challenge Kojima at Kings of Colosseum.[10][11]
