Killer Kross vs Josh Bishop Last Man Standing Set for MLW PPV

Killer Kross vs Josh Bishop Last Man Standing Set for MLW PPV

Major League Wrestling has announced a title match for its Saturday Night SuperFight event on November 7 in Cicero, Illinois. Killer Kross will defend the MLW World Heavyweight Championship against Josh Bishop in a Last Man Standing match. The bout will be contested at the sold-out Cicero Stadium and air live on pay-per-view.

The two wrestlers previously met in a No Holds Barred match that left Bishop bloodied. Kross retained the title by choking Bishop unconscious with the Kross Jacket. Bishop later earned a pinfall victory over Kross during a New York City Street Fight teaming with Donovan Dijak against Kross and Matt Riddle.

Bishop's pinfall ended a four-year streak of Kross never being pinned in an MLW ring. Following the loss, Kross addressed the defeat on Fusion and supported granting Bishop a championship rematch. MLW officials approved the rematch with the Last Man Standing stipulation to ensure a conclusive result.

The Last Man Standing rules eliminate the possibility of pinfalls or submissions. Victory can only be achieved by rendering the opponent unable to answer a ten-count. The match will determine whether Bishop can convert his prior victory into a title win or if Kross will retain the championship.
