Production

[edit]

Background

[edit]

First held on October 5, 2017, MLW One Shot was the inaugural event of MLW's 2017 relaunch as a professional wrestling promotion.[1][2] The One Shot name would later be revived as an annual event starting in 2023.

On August 28, 2024, MLW announced that One Shot would take place on December 5, 2024, at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, New York.[3][4] On October 31, MLW announced that booker Eric Bischoff, most famous for his booking for World Championship Wrestling, would have total creative control for the event.[5]

Storylines

[edit]

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 at MLW, across the league's social media platforms.[6]

Trevor Lee, formerly known as Cameron Grimes in WWE, was set to debut for MLW at Slaughterhouse, before the event was canceled due to recent hurricane activity.[7] His official debut would be announced for One Shot on November 11, where he would be challenging Místico for the MLW World Middleweight Championship.[8]

Satoshi Kojima was originally set to defend the MLW World Heavyweight Championship against Último Guerrero at Slaughterhouse, before the event's cancellation.[9] On November 14, MLW announced that the match would officially take place as part of the TV taping portion of One Shot.[10]
