TORONTO (Aug. 27, 2026) – MAPLE LEAF PRO Wrestling is bringing the stars, excitement and action of professional wrestling to London Comic Con with a special two-day MLP Fan InterACTION experience on Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27, at the Western Fair District.
In partnership with LONDON COMIC CON, MLP Fan InterACTION will give fans an opportunity to do more than simply meet their favourite wrestlers — they’ll have the chance to step inside the world of MAPLE LEAF PRO Wrestling and become part of the action.
Wrestling legend D’Lo Brown, former WWE Superstar Priscilla Kelly, MLP Interim Canadian Champion Stu Grayson and MLP Canadian Tag Team Champions 1st Faction — Brent Banks and Sheldon Jean — are among the stars scheduled to appear, with additional MLP talent to be announced.
“The first-ever MAPLE LEAF PRO Wrestling Fan InterACTION at London Comic Con is designed to give fans a chance to get closer to the action, interact with the stars and experience professional wrestling in a way that goes beyond simply watching from the crowd” said MLP President, Scott D’Amore “We look forward to continuing and growing this relationship for years to come”
The experience begins Saturday, September 26, with live professional wrestling featuring the stars of MAPLE LEAF PRO. Fans will also have the opportunity to meet MLP talent during autograph and photo sessions, put their wrestling knowledge to the test in a hosted in-ring trivia contest and hear directly from the stars during hosted in-ring Q&A sessions.
But MLP Fan InterACTION doesn’t stop when the matches end.
On Sunday, September 27, fans can once again get up close with the stars of MAPLE LEAF PRO through meet-and-greets, autographs, photos and interactive programming, highlighted by the MLP Cosplay Contest.
Fans will have the opportunity to take their cosplay character to the next level by stepping inside the ring and creating their own wrestling persona. Contestants will showcase a custom ring entrance complete with entrance music, a promo photo and an original in-ring promo, giving them the opportunity to grab the microphone, address the crowd and make their case for why they have what it takes to be the next great wrestling superstar.
And there is more than bragging rights on the line.
The winner of the MLP Cosplay Contest will receive two tickets to the sold-out MLP Northern Rising event in Toronto on October 3, giving one lucky fan the opportunity to experience MAPLE LEAF PRO’s biggest event of the year live.
“We are beyond excited to be hosting the first-ever Maple Leaf Pro InterACTION event at London Comic Con! said Jacob Windatt, CEO, GB Entertainment/London Comic-Con. Fans will not only experience the hard-hitting action of world-class professional wrestling, but also be able to immerse themselves in their fandom through unique, full-participation experiences, which is what we’ve wanted our organization to focus on in 2026, and which the team at MLP have definitely delivered on.”
MLP Fan InterACTION takes place just one week before MLP Northern Rising, MAPLE LEAF PRO’s biggest event of the year, which will stream live on MyAEW pay-per-view on October 3.
VIP ticket upgrades for MLP Fan InterACTION, including premium seating for the live matches and other exclusive opportunities, are available now at mlpwrestling.com and londoncomiccon.ca.
