Much to the delight of the crowd at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, New York, he made an immediate impact.
Matt Riddle and “Filthy” Tom Lawler came out and poked the bear to welcome Bischoff to MLW. Bischoff booked Riddle to face Donovan Dijak, betting on Riddle to win the title. If Riddle loses, Dijak will face Satoshi Kojima for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship at the company’s first premium live event of 2025, Kings of Coliseum.
Bischoff wasn’t done yet. He had Paul Walter Hauser compete in a tag team match against Matthew Justice and Rogue Horsemen members Brock and CW Anderson. The match also became a street battle in New York City.
The biggest shocker of the night was when Alex Cain had some choice words against Bischoff. Kane took several potshots at Bischoff during his career and up until he left WCW.

Bischoff is an unforgettable character. Kane defeated Bobby Fish in a UWFI rules match. While celebrating the win, Bischoff appeared on screen and said it wouldn’t be a real return without the opportunity to fire someone.
Kane had Bischoff in his crosshairs. He fired Kane.
