Production

edit

Background

edit

Slaugherhouse is an event produced by Major League Wrestling (MLW) that was first held in 2023. Its name originated from a 2019 special episode of the promotion's television series, MLW Fusion, called "Jimmy Havoc's Slaughterhouse".[1]

On July 10, 2024, MLW announced that a second Slaughterhouse event would take place on October 4, 2024, at The Coliseum in St. Petersburg, Florida.[2][3] On September 27, MLW announced that the 2024 Slaughterhouse event would be canceled due to Hurricane Helene.[4]

Storylines

edit

The card was to 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 at MLW events, and across the league's social media platforms.[5]

In addition to talent from partner promotions, such as Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), several freelance wrestlers would be announced for the event per MLW's "Open Door Policy". On September 9, MLW announced that Trevor Lee (formerly Cameron Grimes in WWE) would make his debut for the promotion at Slaughterhouse.[6]

At the CMLL 91st Anniversary Show on September 13, 2024, MLW World Heavyweight Champion Satoshi Kojima and Último Guerrero were on opposite sides of a trios match, where the latter's team came out victorious.[7] Two days later, Guerrero released a video package where he called out Kojima for an MLW World Heavyweight Title match.[8] MLW would officially announce the match the following day for Slaughterhouse.[9]
