Background

In July 2017, Major League Wrestling resumed promoting events for the first time since the promotion's original closure in 2004. The success of these events lead MLW to secure a television deal with beIN Sports for a new program, MLW Fusion, which debuted on April 20, 2018.[7][8] In November, MLW broke their attendance record with their Fightland event in Chicago at Cicero Stadium.[9][10] Eventually, MLW began airing live specials on beIN Sports, in which the promotion was broadcast live during Fusion television tapings. MLW's first live special of 2019 was SuperFight, which was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the 2300 Arena.[11][12]

On July 5, 2019, MLW announced their first pay-per-view event titled Saturday Night SuperFight, which would be held on November 2, 2019 at the Cicero Stadium in Cicero, Illinois.[13][14] On August 8, MLW announced that they had reached a deal with FITE TV to produce content for their streaming network, with Saturday Night SuperFight being the first MLW event produced for the platform.[15]

Storylines

The event will feature professional wrestling matches that will involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers will portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and will culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[16]

On April 5, 2019, LA Park won the Battle Riot, earning a "Golden Ticket" for a MLW World Heavyweight Championship match at any time of his choosing.[17][18][19][20][21] On September 7, it was announced that LA Park would cash in his "Golden Ticket" and face MLW Champion Jacob Fatu at Saturday Night SuperFight.[22]
