Battle Riot

Battle Riot is an annual professional wrestling event produced by Major League Wrestling (MLW). The inaugural event took place on July 19, 2018.

The event is named after the Battle Riot match, a multi-competitor match type in which wrestlers are eliminated until one is left and declared winner. The match begins with two participants in the ring. Another fighter then enters every minute until 40 wrestlers have joined the match. Competitors are eliminated by either pin, submission, or going over the top rope and having both feet touch the venue floor. The declared winner of the Battle Riot match receives a future title shot for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship.

The first two, and fourth, events served as television tapings for MLW Fusion. The first and second events were broadcast as special episodes of Fusion, with the second event airing live on Bein Sports USA.

The third, fourth, and sixth events have been presented as standalone specials, equivalent to a pay-per-view; with matches from the third event also being taped for the MLW Fusion: Alpha miniseries. The fifth event was a television taping for MLW Underground Wrestling on Reelz, and aired as a special episode on April 25, 2023; it would be the show's penultimate episode before its cancellation. A "Special Edition" of the telecast was streamed on May 18 for FITE+ subscribers as part of MLW's partnership with the streamer.
