“Filthy” Tom Lawlor will compete in MLW’s Battle Riot on Saturday, July 10th in Philadelphia at the 2300 Arena.

Lawlor, who won the 2020 Opera Cup, the World Heavyweight Championship and the 2018 Battle Riot, is the only man to have won MLW’s prestigious grand slam.

Now, Lawlor looks to capture a title shot. All he has to do is outlast, out smart and outfight 39 other men.
