Production

Background

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 Apr 15, 2025, MLW announced that a third Slaughterhouse event would take place on October 4, 2025, at Thunder Studios Arena in Long Beach, California. ^[2]

Storylines

The card consisted of matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed 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 were played out at MLW events, and across the league's social media platforms. ^[3]
