Former WWE Star To Challenge For MLW Middleweight Championship At Fightland MLW

A former WWE star is set to challenge for the MLW Middleweight Championship at the upcoming Fightland event.

Major League Wrestling announced that former WWE star Lince Dorado will challenge Shun Skywalker for the MLW Middleweight Championship at the Fightland event on Sunday, October 30.

The company issued the following statement:

(PHILADELPHIA, PA) – Major League Wrestling today announced World Middleweight Championship bout: World Middleweight Champion Shun Skywalker vs. Lince Dorado at MLW FIGHTLAND ’22 on Sunday, October 30 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.

Tickets start at $15 at MLW2300.com and the 2300 Arena box office.

The card is a FUSION TV taping, airing on beIN SPORTS nationwide on cable and dish and in over 60 countries around the world.

The new World Middleweight Champion Shun Skywalker has accepted his first challenge for the title as luchador Lince Dorado looks to pounce the mercurial masked Japanese phenom and win gold.

Fresh off a tour of Mexico for CMLL, the oldest promotion in history, Lince Dorado is determined to continue his momentum and win his first MLW championship.

Standing across the ring is the dark and diabolical Skywalker. Representing DRAGONGATE and a member of the infamous Z-Brats, Shun Skywalker IS arguably the best wrestler in Japan, if not in the entire sport itself.

The mercurial masked highflier vows to pick Lince apart limb by limb and bring the title back to Kobe, Japan. A menacing threat but Dorado is no stranger to danger, being a brilliant daredevil of the squared circle.

Will Skywalker’s reign as champion march on or will the golden lynx of lucha dethrone DRAGONGATE’s best?
