Former WWE and WCW announcer Tony Schiavone and former NXT announcer Rich Bocchini (Rich Brennan) will host and call the action.
The event will taped on July 19 at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, NY and will air on beIn Sports Friday July 27 at 8:00pm ET/5:00PM PT. MLW also uploads the latest episodes on its YouTube Channel every Saturday at 6:05pm ET/3:05pm PT, so the show can be seen where beIN Sports is not available.
