Former WWE top star becomes World Champion

Matt Riddle defeated Satoshi Kojima at MLW Kings of Colosseum 2025 to claim the World Heavyweight Championship. The Battle Riot VI winner secured the victory with a Bro-Stone Piledriver, ending Kojima’s 343-day reign.

The win marks Riddle’s first MLW championship, joining an elite list of former champions including Shane Douglas, Mike Awesome, Steve Corino, and Jacob Fatu.

Triple Threat Match looms at SuperFight 6

During a post-match press conference hosted by Joe Dombrowski, former champion Alex Kane challenged Riddle to a title match in Atlanta this February. The situation intensified when Kojima appeared to demand his rematch, prompting the new champion to suggest facing both challengers simultaneously.

The potential triple threat match at SuperFight 6 could provide an early test for Riddle’s championship reign, with both challengers bringing legitimate claims to a title opportunity.
