Major League Wrestling (MLW) presented last night Fightland 2025, a new Premium Live Event on YouTube, from the Thunder Studios in Los Angeles, California. The event sold out and, in addition to the PPV itself, featured a new round of recordings for the next Major League Wrestling special show for beIN Sports and YouTube, which will air in the coming weeks.

In the main event, Mads Krule Krügger defended the MLW World Championship in a Chamber of Horrors match. On the other hand, the quarterfinals of the 2025 Opera Cup were decided in Los Angeles.

Embracing the Halloween season in Major League Wrestling, Shotzi debuted her own Talk-Show. Additionally, Shoko Nakajima defended the Featherweight World Championship against HIMAWARI, furthering the relationship between MLW and TJPW.

Below are the results of the show:

MLW Slaughterhouse 2025 Results - 10/04/2025

Mads Krule Krügger emerged victorious in a Chamber of Horrors match and retained the MLW World Championship. In his first title defense, Mads Krügger faced off against Matthew Justice, CW Anderson, Mr. Thomas, Brock Anderson, and Chris Adonis. In a match filled with chaos and violence, Krügger ended up "electrocuting" CW Anderson in the electric chair to secure the win.

Shotzi debuted The Graveyard Shift. The MLW tag team champions, Donovan Dijak and Bishop Dyer, were the first guests on this new Talk-Show. The Skyscrappers discussed their future as champions together as well as their individual goals. Dijak mentioned Alex Hammerstone, Mads Krügger, and their altercation at Fightland. However, before he could finish, Krügger and CONTRA attacked unexpectedly.

Continuing with Shotzi, she introduces Don Gato and takes a break with her tequila (good product placement). However, Ikuro Kwon appears and confronts Don Gato, threatening not to wait for Lucha de los Muertos to unmask him and end him. Don Gato stands his ground and before Kwon can unleash the mist, he lands a direct hit with his brass knuckles.

Suddenly, on the screen appears Priscilla Kelly who talks about how easy Shotzi has had it in MLW since she arrived, something she feels is undeserved. PK reveals she is back in MLW and they will face off in Charleston.

Volador Jr. defeated Star Jr. in a quarterfinal match of the 2025 Opera Cup. "The Air Predator" secured the victory, advancing to the tournament semifinals, after applying the Destroyer. Volador Jr. had the assistance of Los Depredadores, Magnus, and Rugido, during the match.

Satoshi Kojima defeated Bishop Dyer in a quarterfinal match of the 2025 Opera Cup. Kojima connected with the Lariat to claim the victory and advance to the semifinals. After the match, both wrestlers showed mutual respect.

Austin Aries defeated Paul London in a quarterfinal match of the 2025 Opera Cup. Aries emerged victorious, advancing to the semifinals, after executing the Brainbuster. Following the match, Paul Walter Hauser leaves the commentary booth to check on London, who pushes him away and exits the ring. Hauser, tired of the disputes with his mentor, takes the microphone and apologizes to Paul London for not being Funaki, for not being Brian Kendrick, for not being in the War Chamber, but states that this between them must end once and for all: either by resolving it or going their separate ways.

In a eerie vignette, MLW announces the return of Killer Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux. Both will be present at Lucha de los Muertos in November, at the debut of MLW in Charleston, South Carolina. Additionally, it is also announced that the final of the 2025 Opera Cup will take place at Lucha de los Muertos.

Matt Riddle defeated Alex Hammerstone. In a match that could have easily been for the title a few months ago, Riddle secured the victory with a dirty Lowblow, taking advantage of the interference from Mads Krügger, Bishop Dyer, and Donovan Dijak, turning "The King of Bros" into a villain. After the match, Riddle refuses to be interviewed but takes the microphone, receiving and accepting all the boos and insults before lashing out at the fans present.

Shoko Nakajima defeated HIMAWARI to retain the MLW Featherweight World Championship. "Big Kaiju" connected with the Back Senton from the top rope to claim the victory and achieve another successful defense for the Japanese wrestler.

In a backstage segment, the Durán family celebrates Don Gato's actions with Ikuro Kwon. Everyone wants to repeat the same in Charleston. As they are about to leave the office, Salina realizes that she can't find Don Gato's brass knuckles.

Místico defeated Último Guerrero in a quarterfinal match of the 2025 Opera Cup. In a historic one-on-one match, "The Prince of Silver and Gold" applied La Mística to secure the victory over "The fighter from another place" and advance to the semifinals. After the match, Místico is surprised by Austin Aries.
