MLW reveals opponent for Isla Dawn debut

Isla Dawn will be facing a fellow former WWE talent in her MLW debut.

It’s been announced that Dawn vs. Scarlett Bordeaux will take place at MLW x Don Gato Tequila: Live Special on Thursday, November 20. The show is being held in Charleston, South Carolina and will stream live on MLW’s YouTube channel as well as airing on beIN Sports on cable.

Last week, MLW released a promo revealing that Dawn would be debuting at the event. She promised to make MLW a lot more dangerous with her arrival.

Dawn — a former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion — was released from her WWE contract in February. After that, she had one match for AEW over the summer and has made some appearances on ROH.

Bordeaux departed WWE in August upon the expiration of her contract. She’s returning to MLW after previously competing for the promotion in 2022.

Also at the November 20 show, Bordeaux’s husband Killer Kross will return to MLW against Matt Riddle. The show is taking place at Charleston Music Hall in partnership with Hollywood star Danny McBride and his Don Gato tequila company.

Here is the updated card:
