The Battle Riot is a professional wrestling event produced by Major League Wrestling (MLW). The event is named after the Battle Riot match, a multi-competitor match type in which wrestlers are eliminated until one is left and declared winner. The match begins with a number of participants in the ring, who are then eliminated by either pin, submission, or going over the top rope and having both feet touch the venue floor. The inaugural Battle Riot took place on July 19, 2018. The declared winner of the Battle Riot match receives a future title shot for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship.
