The master of the occult and one of CMLL’s most feared luchadores, Hechicero, has officially entered MLW Battle RIOT VII, bringing his unparalleled technical wizardry to the most unpredictable match in MLW. Known for his innovative submission game, mad scientist offense, and mystical presence, Hechicero is a force unlike any other in this year’s 40-man Riot.

The following names are confirmed for this year’s Battle Riot VII matchup:
- MLW World Heavyweight Champion Matt Riddle
- Donovan Dijak
- Barbaro Cavernario
- Hechicero
