Summary

Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling's Uprising 2026 event takes place March 28th at St. Clair's College in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and the card features two significant title-related developments.

A new MLP Canadian Champion will be crowned at the show. The title became vacant when Josh Alexander was forced to relinquish it ahead of knee surgery, leaving him with no timetable for a return. Alexander is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling.

Also on the card, Deonna Purrazzo will challenge Gisele Shaw for the MLP Women's Canadian Championship. The two previously met at the MLP/ROH Global Wars event, where Purrazzo successfully defended the ROH Women's Pure Championship against Shaw in a title match that went the other way.

What This Means for Purrazzo and the MLP Women's Title

Shaw holds the MLP Women's Canadian title, while Purrazzo already has the ROH Women's Pure Championship to her name. Their rematch at Uprising flips the script from Global Wars: this time it's Shaw defending gold against Purrazzo rather than the other way around. A win for Purrazzo would make her a dual champion across both ROH and MLP, a notable achievement for one of the busiest and most decorated women's wrestlers on the independent circuit.
