World Titan Federation Superstar Davey Boy Smith Jr., making his first appearance in MLW since winning the 2023 Opera Cup last summer, is set to unleash his unparalleled skill and tenacity in the ring. After overcoming a dangerous medical event that led to emergency surgery, Davey Boy is back stronger than ever and ready to showcase his prowess.
A decorated fighter in MLW, with two Opera Cup tournament victories (2019, 2023), a reign as MLW World Tag Team Champions, and a legacy as a perennial main eventer, Davey Boy’s catch wrestling style and raw power make him a formidable threat. As a 3rd generation wrestler, he combines generational technique with skill, making every match a potential classic and dangerous encounter for his adversaries.
On the opposing side, 1 Called Manders, one-half of the MLW World Tag Team Champions, had a stellar 2023 debut year in MLW and is hungry to climb the heavyweight rankings.
With an impressive 88% win rate when he hits his signature lariat clothesline, Manders is a heavy-hitting bruiser with the ability to switch up fighting styles from brawling to strong style instanteously.
The question looms – after conquering the tag team division, is Manders eyeing a singles title to add to his list of achievements? Could Manders be pursuing a double championship play? A high-profile win against DBS would certainly fast track Manders up in the heavyweight rankings… and shut-up the huckster Saint Laurent.
The match takes on added significance with championship implications. If Davey Boy Smith Jr. emerges victorious, it could pave the way for promoter Saint Laurent to lobby for a World Tag Team Title match against The Second Gear Crew (Manders & Matthew Justice).
Is Manders ready for the bite of this bulldog? Will Davey Boy’s return mark the beginning of a new chapter in MLW’s heavyweight division?
Don’t miss this explosive encounter between hosses as they collide live at SuperFight!
