Powell’s POV: MLW announces Battle Riot the day after Ruby Riott returns to WWE television, meaning I’m sure to misspell one or the other many times going forward. Anyway, the previous Battle Riot winners are Tom Lawlor and LA Park. Lawlor successfully cashed in to win the MLW World Championship, while Park lost to Jacob Fatu when he cashed in at MLW Saturday Night SuperFight.
