The Time Splitter is ready to shake up the Battle RIOT! KUSHIDA, one of the most dynamic and accomplished competitors in MLW, is officially entering Battle RIOT, bringing his unique blend of speed, technique, and high-flying mastery to MLW’s most unpredictable match.
A multi-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, KUSHIDA has competed at the highest levels of the sport, dazzling audiences with his precision grappling, breathtaking aerial offense, and innovative submissions. Since joining MLW, he has showcased exactly why he is considered one of the best of his generation. Now, he looks to outlast 39 other competitors and win Matt Riddle’s championship.
