History

Inaugural, current, and lineal champion Josh Alexander.

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.

Sometime in early March, Alexander substained a knee injury that required him to undergo surgery. 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. On October 3, 2026 at Northern Rising, Alexander defeated Grayson to unify the titles and become the undisputed MLP Canadian Champion.
