Don Gato loves a good wrestling debut... so when Isla Dawn released a haunting video declaring her desire to compete in Charleston, the masked maestro of agave took notice. Moments after finishing sparring with his pet jaguar, Don Gato placed a call to MLW President Cesar Duran — and matchmaking magic was made.
For the first time ever, the bewitching Isla Dawn steps into an MLW ring, going one-on-one with the "Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux at MLW x Don Gato Tequila: Live Special on Thursday, November 20 at the Charleston Music Hall. The event airs live on YouTube and cable on beIN SPORTS at 8pm ET.
This bout marks Scarlett's first MLW match in nearly three years, as the siren makes her long-awaited return to the squared circle. Known for her hypnotic charisma and dangerous allure, Scarlett remains one of MLW's most captivating and unpredictable forces — and she now finds herself opposite a Scottish sorceress whose dark rituals have summoned a debut unlike any other.
Under the watchful eye of MLW Vice President Salina de la Renta, the women's division continues to grow at a blistering pace, with powerful personalities and world-class competitors joining the roster. Isla Dawn's arrival adds an edge to a division already brimming with talent.

The Charleston Music Hall, originally built in 1849–50 as The Tower Depot by architect Edward C. Jones, was a striking Gothic Revival passenger station designed to make arriving by train a dramatic experience. Part of a larger railroad complex called the Camden Depot, the building featured Medieval-inspired architecture with turrets, lancet windows, and simulated arrow slots. After a brief stint as a depot, it was acquired by the Charleston Bagging Manufacturing Company in 1878 and repurposed for industrial use until the 1930s, later falling into disrepair. Following decades of vacancy, it was revitalized in 1995 into a premier arts venue, now hosting acclaimed performers and continuing its mission to deliver exceptional musical and theatrical experiences in a setting rich with history.
