F1RST Wrestling, a major independent promotion based in Minnesota, announced via social media that they would be returning to the Mall of America for their second ‘Saturday Night Nitro’ event.
The first event under this name was held on September 10, 2022, featuring a tag team main event in which Dante Martin and Rob Van Dam teamed up (after their singles bout went to a no contest) to take on The Trustbusters of Ari Daivari and Sonny Kiss.
The name of the event is a clear tribute to the Mall of America hosting the debut episode of WCW Nitro on September 4, 1995, notable for such moments as the first appearance of Lex Luger after his departure from the World Wrestling Federation.
