Created: JANUARY 25, 2025

Wrestling fans were treated to a night of surprises and high-octane action during Eric Bischoff's electrifying debut with Major League Wrestling (MLW). The former WCW executive, known for his role in the iconic "Monday Night Wars," made an immediate impact at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, New York.

Bischoff wasted no time making waves, first by booking Matt Riddle against Donovan Dijak with Riddle's title shot hanging in the balance. A loss for Riddle meant Dijak would challenge Satoshi Kojima for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship at the upcoming "Kings of Colosseum" event. The surprises continued as Bischoff orchestrated a New York City street fight, pitting Paul Walter Hauser and Matthew Justice against Brock and CW Anderson of the Rogue Horsemen.

However, the most shocking moment came when Bischoff, in a move reminiscent of his WCW days, fired Alex Kane following Kane's victory over Bobby Fish. Despite security intervention, Kane unleashed a flurry of suplexes before being escorted out by his partner, Mr. Thomas.

The night's final twist saw Bischoff on the phone, MLW contract in hand, gazing at the city skyline, leaving fans speculating about his future with the company.
