Chicago wrestling fans have a new reason to be excited. Major League Wrestling (MLW) announced that rising pro‑wrestler Josh Bishop will headline the upcoming Saturday Night SuperFight pay‑per‑view with a Last Man Standing World Heavyweight Championship match against Killer Kross. The bout is set for 8 p.m. ET on Saturday in Cicero, a suburb of Chicago.
Owner praises Bishop’s impact
MLW owner Court Bauer told OutKick Dropkick that Bishop has been a “breakout player” for the promotion this year. “He’s got that dangerous aura, a wrecking‑machine style that fans love,” Bauer said. “He’s built a huge following on social media and brings the next‑generation energy that keeps the crowd engaged.” Bauer highlighted Bishop’s recent performances, noting a memorable tag‑team pin on Kross in New York City and a hard‑hitting showdown in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Road to the title match
Bishop first challenged Killer Kross for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship earlier in the year but fell short. Since then, he has continued to prove his worth, earning a spot on the SuperFight card after a series of strong showings. “All these things led to this Last Man Standing match this weekend,” Bauer explained. “He earned his ticket by giving everything in the ring, and the fans responded.”
What fans can expect
The Last Man Standing format means the match will only end when one competitor cannot answer the referee’s ten‑count. Both Bishop and Kross are known for their hard‑hitting styles, promising a brutal, high‑stakes contest. Bauer emphasized that the match reflects the kind of storytelling MLW wants to deliver: “We listen to the crowd, we watch the effort, and we put the guys who leave it all in the ring on the biggest stage.”
How to watch
SuperFight will be streamed live on Veeps, the platform MLW uses for its pay‑per‑view events. Fans can purchase access through the official MLW website. The event also includes several undercard matches featuring other MLW talent, offering a full night of action for wrestling enthusiasts.
Local significance
Chicago has a rich wrestling heritage, and hosting a major MLW event adds to the city’s reputation as a hub for live sports entertainment. Local businesses anticipate increased traffic on the night of the show, and the event provides an opportunity for fans to gather and support a home‑grown wrestling scene.
With Bishop’s rising popularity and the high‑profile title bout, Saturday Night SuperFight is shaping up to be a marquee event for both MLW and the Chicago wrestling community.
