A new bruiser has taken over MLW. Killer Kross went down in defeat to Josh Bishop for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night SuperFight (Nov. 7, 2026) in Chicago, IL.
Last Man Standing were the rules for the PPV main event. Bishop executed a crucifix bomb to send Kross crashing through a table. The war took its toll to that point. Both men struggled to their feet to beat the ten-count. Bishop used a chair
and the ropes as leverage to rise to his feet at 7. Kross stirred with an effort to use the chair to help stand up. Bishop smartly kicked the chair away, and Kross collapsed back down to the mat. The referee counted to 10. Kross was still down, and Bishop is the new champion.
This is a surprising result but not completely out of the blue. MLW built Bishop up in recent months. It was a question if they would pull the trigger for Kross to pass the torch. Bishop is a name on the rise with rumors of being on the radar for WWE and TNA in recent months.
