Tick tock… could the countdown soon begin for Killer Kross challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship?
With Kross officially entering the Battle Riot, speculation has already begun about a future dream match between Hammerstone and Killer Kross.
But first the Sin City native must outlast 39 other combatants and win the Battle Riot. No easy task. Then again, this isn’t just any fighter.
A harbinger of chaos, the 6’4″ fighter has been a threat wherever he’s battled. Returning to MLW two months ago, Killer Kross decimated his opponent and in the process put the entire league on notice.
Killer Kross is looking for a fight when he walks into the Melrose Ballroom in New York City. With his eyes set on grabbing his golden ticket to a title shot anytime, anywhere will anyone be able to stop his path of destruction in the Battle Riot?
