Jordan Oliver vs. Simon Gotch added to MLW Kings of Colosseum
A third match for MLW Kings of Colosseum is now official as Simon Gotch vs. Jordan Oliver was announced Tuesday.
The show will air on YouTube and their various streaming partners on Wednesday, January 6th, at 7 PM Eastern.
Oliver’s Injustice faction has been feuding with Gotch’s CONTRA group for most of the year with Gotch choking out Oliver during a September edition of their Pulp Fiction segments. Oliver challenged Gotch to a match several weeks ago during a Fusion promo segment which will be their first ever match against each other.
The Colosseum event will also feature Oliver’s teammate and Middleweight Champion Myron Reed vs. the debuting Lio Rush and National Openweight Champion Alexander Hammerstone vs. Mads Krugger in another grudge match.
This will mark Oliver’s in-ring debut since MLW’s November restart while this will be Gotch’s second match as he teamed with World Champion Jacob Fatu in a losing effort to Tag Team Champions The Von Erichs.
