MLP Northern Rising Expands Broadcast Run Across Canada

Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling's Northern Rising event will reach wider audiences through a three-part television special on TSN and streaming platforms after the October 3 event at Toronto's Mattamy Athletic Centre, according to TSN and MLP announcements.

The special features matches from the sold-out event, which was headlined by Adam Copeland versus Steve Maclin in a Street Fight and marked a major milestone for Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling.

According to TSN and Fightful, the presentation was originally scheduled to begin Wednesday, October 14, with episodes planned across three consecutive weeks on TSN, MyAEW, and Fight Nation.

PostWrestling later reported that the broadcast schedule was moved back one week, with the premiere set for Wednesday, October 21. The updated schedule places the final episode on November 4.

Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling President Scott D’Amore said the promotion wanted to extend the reach of its live event by turning it into a multi-week television presentation.

"We’re always looking to try new things and find new ways to make our content reach further. We have the opportunity to turn one incredible live event into three weeks of television, with each special built around a featured match. If you were there, you know what that night felt like. If you missed it, this is your chance to experience the moment for yourself." said Scott D’Amore, Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling President.

The event took place at the historic Toronto venue formerly known as Maple Leaf Gardens and featured three MLP title matches, including the MLP Canadian Championship unification match between Josh Alexander and Stu Grayson.

According to PostWrestling, Northern Rising also included Andrade El Idolo against Rohan Raja and was promoted as a continuation of MLP's television programming following the first season of MLP Mayhem.
