For MLW, Battle Riot VI marks a milestone as well. This event will be the first-ever free live-streamed offering since the company began its live broadcasts a year prior on pay-per-view. This strategic move reflects a shift towards direct-to-consumer engagement, aligning with the evolving landscape of sports media consumption.

The lineup for Battle Riot VI is stacked with talent, including former UFC standout Matt Riddle, Mexico’s beloved Místico, and a host of other seasoned veterans and rising stars. With such a diverse array of competitors, the event promises to deliver on its reputation as one of the most anticipated wrestling spectacles of the year.
