Production.
Background.
SuperFight is a professional wrestling supercard event produced by Major League Wrestling. The first event was broadcast as a special live episode of "Fusion" that aired on February 2, 2019; the second live special in the show's history. The second event, Saturday Night SuperFight, was held later that year on November 2 as MLW's first-ever pay-per-view card.
On December 11, 2023, it was announced that SuperFight would be taking place on February 3, 2024, at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As part of MLW's partnership with Triller TV to produce live specials for TrillerTV+ subscribers, the 2024 edition will also be the first to air live since 2019.
Storylines.
The card consisted 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 across the league's social media platforms.
Per MLW's "Open Door Policy," several freelancers would be announced for SuperFight. Several wrestlers from partner promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) will also appear. Names include Místico, Averno, Shigeo Okumura, and Yuji Nagata.
After Alex Kane successfully defended the MLW World Heavyweight Championship at Kings of Colosseum, his next challenger was announced to be former world champion Satoshi Kojima. Their title match would be set for SuperFight.
At Kings of Colosseum, former tag team partners and stablemates Akira and Rickey Shane Page of The Calling faced in a Taipei Deathmatch for the latter's MLW National Openweight Championship. In the closing moments, Akira would suffer from interference by a returning Sami Callihan which would cost him the match. In a promo after the match, an irate Akira put a challenge out to Callihan for a match at SuperFight, which was made official, but under "Death Machine Rules."
For months, Ichiban had been trying to gain an MLW World Middleweight Championship match but was constantly shot down by champion Rocky Romero and Promociones Dorado promoter Salina de la Renta. At Fightland, Ichiban would team with Máscara Dorada to defeat Romero and Bárbaro Cavernario. During the Holiday Rush special aired on December 23, 2023, Ichiban would face de la Renta in an intergender match, which he won by disqualification due to run-ins by Promociones Dorado. Regardless, per pre-match stipulations, Ichiban finally earned a title opportunity against Romero, which was made for SuperFight in a two-out-of-three falls match.
