Updated on Nov. 7, 2026 in Wrestling
Josh Bishop will challenge Killer Kross for the Major League Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship in a Last Man Standing match at Saturday Night SuperFight in Cicero, Illinois, on Saturday, November 7. Bishop lost an earlier title challenge to Kross this year.
Why it matters
The bout gives Bishop a rematch after a year of steady performances that earned him the headlining spot. It also places a rising MLW performer in a high-stakes title match on a national stage.
The match is a Last Man Standing contest, which means the title can change hands only if one competitor fails to rise before a ten-count or is otherwise unable to continue. Bishop previously scored a pin on Kross in a tag team match.
