See MLW’s return to NYC June 23 featuring a TV taping
Major League Wrestling today announced Savio Vega as a participant in the 40-wrestler Battle Riot as MLW returns to New York City’s Melrose Ballroom on June 23, featuring an MLW Fusion TV taping.
🎟Limited tickets are available at www.MLWNYC.com and on Eventbrite.
The pride of Puerto Rico, the legendary Savio Vega returns to his home away from home June 23rd with his eyes set on punching his ticket to title town.
Splitting his time between the South Bronx and Puerto Rico, the brawling boricua is battle tested and experienced in chaotic matches. With four decades of bloodied wars, big title fights and high stake showdowns, Vega could have a key advantage over all others: experience in the unexpected.
As one of the Caribbean’s all time greats, Vega has had a lot of memorable nights fighting in the Big Apple. Will the Riot be the greatest?
Find out LIVE in New York City on June 23 at MLW Battle Riot IV!
