Production

Background

Never Say Never is a professional wrestling supercard event produced by Major League Wrestling (MLW). The event was first held in 2017 as a television taping for MLW's weekly program, Fusion. On the May 2, 2023 episode of MLW Underground Wrestling, it was announced that the 2023 edition of Never Say Never would take place on July 8, 2023, at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1][2]

Storylines

The card will consist of matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by MLW's writers. Storylines are played out on MLW's television program Fusion.[3]

At Battle Riot V, Alex Kane won the titular match to earn a guaranteed match for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship.[4][5] A few weeks later on the May 2 episode of Underground Wrestling, it was announced that Kane would challenge champion Alexander Hammerstone for the title at Never Say Never.[1][6][7]
