Major League Wrestling is launching a brand-new championship, and the inaugural titleholder will be crowned in a Bunkhouse Stampede match. The promotion announced the Southern Crown Championship on the June 13 episode of MLW Fusion.
The new title pays homage to the southern roots of professional wrestling. Competitors and a date for the Bunkhouse Stampede match were not revealed, with MLW saying more information will come in the weeks ahead.
The Southern Crown launch lands as a deliberate identity statement for the promotion. MLW recently moved its home base to South Carolina, continuing to embrace the southern traditions of pro wrestling.
The title reveal fits the broader direction MLW has teased in recent months, as detailed in Cesar Duran’s comments on big plans for the promotion.
Fans can expect further details on the Southern Crown Championship and its inaugural tournament-style match in upcoming episodes of MLW Fusion.
