History
[edit]
On May 10, 2025 Josh Alexander became the inaugural MLP Canadian champion by lastly eliminating Matt Cardona in a 20-man Gauntlet For The Gold match at Northern Rising.[2]
Sometime in early March, Alexander substained a knee injury[3] that required him to undergo surgery[3]. Rather than stripping Alexander of the championship, an interim champion would be crowned in a gauntlet eliminator match at Uprising in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. On March 28, 2026 Stu Grayson became the interim champion at the MLP Uprising by last eliminating Jonathan Gresham.[4] On October 3, 2026 at Northern Rising, Alexander defeated Grayson to unify the titles and become the undisputed MLP Canadian Champion.[1]
