Newest addition to the Slaughterhouse lineup.

St. Petersburg, Florida will be playing host to Major League Wrestling’s Slaughterhouse event on October 4th. The match card is taking its final form as the show date inches closer. 

The newest addition is Bad Dude Tito defending the National Openweight Championship against Matthew Justice. Below is MLW’s write-up about the bout:

A heated title fight has been fast-tracked and signed for October 4 at MLW Slaughterhouse! Earlier tonight, reigning MLW National Openweight Champion Bad Dude Tito Escondido viciously spiked Matthew Justice’s head through a chair with his devastating Tijuana Screwdriver. Now, the two will collide for Tito’s championship in a grudge match that will be broadcast live worldwide on YouTube next Friday.

This showdown has been brewing since MLW Summer of the Beasts, where tensions first ignited between Tito and Justice after a war of words. Tito, who has dominated the division since capturing the title in May in Chicago, looks to continue his reign of destruction. Meanwhile, Justice, fresh off impressive outings against top fighters like Matt Riddle, has caught the attention of MLW’s matchmakers and is poised to make a major statement.

Guiding Justice in this chaos-filled title bout will be the legendary “Manager of Champions” Bill Alfonso, known for leading some of the sport’s most daring athletes to championship success. But with Salina de la Renta and Jesus Rodriguez lurking in Tito’s corner, will Justice be able to overcome the odds and capture his first major singles championship? Or will Bad Dude Tito put another challenger down and continue his reign?

The stakes are high, the grudges are real, and the MLW National Openweight Championship is on the line at Slaughterhouse.
