Major League Wrestling issued the following press release announcing that this week’s Battle Riot III special will be aired for free on beIN Sports entirely for free on July 24th at 10pm EST. Company president Court Bauer revealed this news on Twitter writing, “Instead of putting the Battle Riot on PPV or behind a paywall when many are still financially recovering from a brutal 18 months, I will give you the Riot for FREE – thanks to our partners at @beINSPORTSUSA. More in a moment on when you can watch!” Full details are below.

Set at the sold-out full capacity 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, the event features King Muertes, National Openweight Champion Alex Hammerstone, Ross and Marshall Von Erich, Davey Richards, CONTRA Unit, former World Heavyweight Champion Tom Lawlor and Team Filthy, TJP, EJ Nduka, Caribbean Champion Richard Holliday, World Middleweight Champion Myron Reed and dozens of other world class wrestlers.
