Matt Riddle Set to Defend MLW Championship Against Former WWE Star
Next month, Matt Riddle faces a significant challenge as he prepares to defend the MLW World Heavyweight Championship against a former WWE Superstar at Azteca Lucha.
The announcement was made by Major League Wrestling in a recent press release, revealing that Riddle will put his title on the line against Donovan Dijak on May 10.
The Build-Up to the Main Event
The genesis of this high-stakes main event can be traced back to Battle RIOT, where Riddle found himself ambushed by Dijak during an appearance on Sessions by Saint Laurent. The orchestrated attack by Saint Laurent, alongside Bishop Dyer, saw Dijak brutally assault the World Champ, leaving Riddle injured and vulnerable after repeatedly targeting his ribs with a steel chair.
Despite reports indicating that Riddle is still in recovery from two broken ribs, the resilient champion has not shied away from accepting the challenge presented by Dijak.
