Major League Wrestling today announced World Tag Team Champion “The Judge” EJ Nduka as a participant in the 40-wrestler Battle Riot as MLW returns to New York City’s Melrose Ballroom on June 23, featuring an MLW Fusion TV taping.
🎟Grab your tickets at www.MLWNYC.com and on Eventbrite.
Shattering the record for Battle Riot eliminations last year, the Judge is one of the Vegas odds-on favorites to be the last man standing this year in the Riot.
Undefeated in singles competition and 1/2 of the World Tag Team Championship team known as Hustle & Power, EJ Nduka is a frontrunner for MLW rookie of the year.
With size and explosive power, “The Judge” looks to improve on his first outing in last year’s Riot by winning the 40-wrestler extravaganza as he makes his NYC debut June 23.
A favorite to go all the way, will EJ have a target on his back… and will it stop him for conquering 39 other participants?
