One Shot (2023) was a professional wrestling supercard event produced by Major League Wrestling (MLW). It took place on December 7, 2023, at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, New York, and it was the second event under the One Shot chronology. The event was streamed live on FITE+, with additional matches being taped for future episodes of MLW Fusion.
Production
Background
MLW One Shot is an annual professional wrestling supercard event produced by Major League Wrestling (MLW). The event was first held in 2017.[1][2] On May 2, 2023, a new partnership between MLW and FITE was announced, in which live specials would be produced for FITE+. MLW would subsequently announce four upcoming FITE+ specials on July 8, 2023, with One Shot announced to be taking place on December 7, at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, New York.[3][4]
Storylines
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's writers. Storylines are played out on MLW's television program, Fusion, and the league's social media platforms.[5]
As part of MLW's Open Door Policy, several free agents and freelancers would appear at the event. Announced names include the debut of Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling (TJPW) Princess of Princess Champion Miyu Yamashita[6] and the return of former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Satoshi Kojima[7]
After Alex Kane defended the MLW World Heavyweight Championship at Slaughterhouse, he was confronted by Matt Cardona and his promoter Mister Saint Laurent of the World Titan Federation. Cardona claimed that as the show was being held in the 2300 Arena (home venue of Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) for years), and that he was the "Deathmatch King", he should be world champion.[8] On the October 26 episode of Fusion, executive produce for the night Salina de la Renta granted MSL the duty of producing One Shot, with the bonus that one of his WTF clients will have a world title match with Kane at the event.[9] On November 2, MLW announced on social media that Cardona would challenge Kane for the title at the event.[10]
