Since his return to MLW, Matt Riddle has made his intentions crystal clear: win the coveted MLW World Heavyweight Championship.

Riddle’s ambition knows no bounds as he sets out to make an indelible mark on both MLW and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) by engaging in not one but two high-stakes battles at the upcoming MLW War Chamber ’24 in Tampa Bay, FL, slated for March 29.
In a groundbreaking decision, MLW and NJPW have jointly sanctioned Riddle’s extraordinary proposal, demonstrating a collaboration between two of the most prominent organizations in the sport.
As a result of this unprecedented agreement, MLW officials have revised the Tampa fight card lineup to accommodate Riddle’s historic endeavor. The MMA fighter turned pro wrestler will put his NJPW World Television Championship on the line against the formidable Kosei Fujita of New Japan Pro Wrestling at War Chamber ’24, a TrillerTV+ premium live event.
But Riddle’s night of challenges doesn’t end there. As part of the beIN SPORTS portion of the TV taping, Riddle will step into the ring against the tenacious Timothy Thatcher, promising fans an adrenaline-fueled throwdown.
Is Riddle’s bold move a stroke of brilliance or a recipe for disaster?
With the wrestling world abuzz with speculation, one thing remains certain: Riddle’s unyielding determination to ascend the ranks of MLW and fast-track his destiny to vie for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship, currently held by Satoshi Kojima, is unparalleled.
As the countdown to MLW War Chamber ’24 begins, anticipation reaches a fever pitch, with fans worldwide eagerly awaiting the outcome of Riddle’s monumental double-header, destined to forever reshape his legacy.
