From MLW:
Major League Wrestling (MLW®) today announced CONTRA Unit vs. Alex Hammerstone, EJ Nduka, Richard Holliday and ??? in a War Chamber match for Saturday November 6 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, featuring an MLW Fusion TV taping.
The final battle has arrived. Josef Samael challenged the new World Heavyweight Champion Alex Hammerstone to a War Chamber match and Your Boy Hammer has accepted!
Since March 2019, CONTRA Unit has unleashed terror throughout the league. From its darkest hour when the international cabal seized MLW’s headquarters to a reign of violence with Jacob Fatu’s reign as champion, the black flag of CONTRA has been a force of fear and chaos.
Now the stage is set for the final showdown. Backed into a corner after FIGHTLAND, CONTRA Unit may be more dangerous than ever before. But riding the wave of momentum, Hammerstone looks to throw a thunderbolt into the heart of CONTRA and has recruited powerhouse EJ Nduka and his dynastic bro Richard Holliday to rise up and take down CONTRA once and for all.
The rules for the match are as follows:
Locked in a carbon steel chamber with the perimeter of the top fortified with barbed wire, two teams of four will clash in combat that only the War Chamber can contain.
- A coin toss determines which team enters first.
- 1-on-1 for 5:00 in stage 1 of the War Chamber.
- The winner of coin toss comes out for 2-on-1.
- Alternating teams have wrestlers enter every 2 minutes.
- Once all combatants are in the War Chamber, victory is won by submission, surrender or pinfall.
The MLW event calendar has gone under some recent changes due to the league monitoring the surge of new COVID-19 cases in certain regions.
Major League Wrestling has rescheduled its September 11 event in Dallas, which was originally supposed to be the 2021 War Chamber event, for Thursday, March 31, 2022. MLW was also set to host Intimidation Games on November 6 in Chicago, but the taping was moved to Philadelphia, where the league has hosted its last two tapings. Intimidation Games was still being advertised as the event theme in Philadelphia, but it was recently updated after the War Chamber match was confirmed as returning.
