A true icon of lucha libre is stepping into MLW’s Battle RIOT! Blue Panther, one of the most revered and respected veterans in the history of the sport, has officially entered the 40-wrestler Battle RIOT, bringing decades of experience, technical mastery, and undeniable toughness to the fight.
With a legendary career spanning over four decades, Blue Panther has defined excellence in CMLL. Known for his world class grappling, submission mastery, and strategic brilliance, the Mexican legend has battled some of the greatest competitors in history and now looks to etch his name in MLW history by conquering the Battle RIOT.

At stake? The ultimate prize— the MLW World Heavyweight Championship. If Blue Panther can outlast 39 other competitors, he will bring the MLW World Title home to Mexico, cementing yet another chapter in his already legendary career.
