LONG BEACH, CA — Major League Wrestling (MLW) today announced Templario (champion) vs. Virus for the MLW World Middleweight Championship as part of the taped portion of MLW Slaughterhouse’25 on Saturday, October 4 at Thunder Studios Arena in Long Beach, CA.  

 Buy tickets starting at $10 at http://www.MLWLA.com and Eventbrite.

The match will be part of the taped portion of the card and air at a later date.

Templario, who won the championship last month at FIGHTLAND, has quickly proven to be a fighting champion. This past weekend in Mexico, the CMLL standout successfully defended the title against Volador Jr. Now he prepares for his second title defense in as many weeks.

Standing across the ring from Templario will be one of lucha libre’s most respected maestros, Virus. A decorated veteran of CMLL, Virus has built a reputation as one of the most technically gifted wrestlers in the sport. Despite his modest size, his mastery of mat-based wrestling and cunning ring IQ have earned him the status of a true “gran maestro,” capable of grounding and frustrating even the most explosive of opponents.

The clash promises a compelling battle of styles as the rising champion meets a seasoned veteran whose technical brilliance has made him one of the most revered figures in lucha libre.

Secure your seat today at www.MLWLA.com and Eventbrite, with tickets starting at just $10. Don’t miss your chance to experience the most anticipated MLW event of the year live in the City of Angels!
