Additionally, several matches would be taped for the "Slaughterhouse" special, which was originally meant to take place on October 4 in St. Petersburg, Florida before being canceled. The special will air on November 23 also on YouTube.
On September 27, 2023, Major League Wrestling (MLW) announced a strategic partnership with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) for crossover events and talent exchanges.[1]
On May 9, 2024, MLW announced its first co-promoted event with CMLL, Lucha Apocalypto, would take place on November 9, 2024, at Cicero Stadium in Cicero, Illinois.[2] [3]
The stream was postponed to November 10, 2024 due to technical issues and was aired on tape delay on MLW's YouTube channel.[4]
The card will consist of matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by MLW and CMLL's writers. Storylines are played out at MLW and CMLL events, and across both promotions' social media platforms.[5]
