MLW Azteca Lucha • May 10 Cicero Stadium 10PM ET Free on YouTube
CHICAGO — Major League Wrestling (“MLW”) today announced Satoshi Kojima vs. Alex Hammerstone at MLW Azteca Lucha, live on YouTube from a sold out Cicero Stadium in Chicago on Saturday, May 10.
The event is sold out. Fans around the world can stream Azteca Lucha free starting at 10:00 p.m. ET on YouTube.com/MajorLeagueWrestling Saturday, May 10.
It’s a seismic first-time encounter as two of Major League Wrestling’s most celebrated champions collide: Alex Hammerstone vs. Satoshi Kojima is official for MLW Azteca Lucha, streaming LIVE and FREE worldwide on MLW’s YouTube channel at 10pm ET / 9pm CT on Saturday, May 10 from a sold out Cicero Stadium in Chicago.
This isn’t just a battle of legacy—it’s a war of strength and willpower.
In one corner stands Hammerstone, a human tank built for destruction, returning to singles action in MLW for the first time since December 2023. In the other, Kojima, a world-renowned beast forged in the gym, relentless in his pursuit to clean out the division and become a three-time MLW World Heavyweight Champion.
This is a clash of two powerhouses—both former MLW World Champions. Both built like granite. Both determined to make a definitive statement in front of the red-hot Chicago crowd.
For Hammerstone, it’s a chance to hurl himself back into title contention. A win here would catapult him into the mix for the MLW National Openweight Championship or even a shot at reclaiming the MLW World Title.
Kojima, meanwhile, is not in the mood for nostalgia. He’s hunting challengers, crushing contenders, and reminding the world that no one survives his legendary lariat.
MLW President Cesar Duran: “The fans of Chicago sold out Cicero Stadium without knowing a single match. That deserves something extraordinary. And now, they get it: Hammerstone vs. Kojima. Two grand champions. One ring. One brutal reckoning. MLW was built for matches like this!”
Don’t miss this explosive showdown.
MLW Azteca Lucha will stream LIVE and FREE on YouTube.com/MajorLeagueWrestling at 10pm ET on Saturday, May 10.
