MXW Knockout

MXW Knockout, also known as MXW KO, is a Minecraft wrestling program that currently airs live on Saturday evenings at 2 pm ET on the MXW Channel in the United States. The show debuted on July 17, 2015 and has since been considered as the flagship program of MXW.
Since its first episode, Knockout has broadcast live from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Iraq, Germany, Japan, Australia, and Mexico.
Following the episodes dating through 2015 to early 2016, MXW switched from its original 8 pm ET schedule to its current 2 pm, due to the sleep schedule of the UK wrestlers.
== History ==
MXW Knockout, the program first aired on July 7, 2015 in Bosslane arena, but was never filmed or recorded. It was ran by Todee, Caleb, and Nevlin who scheduled only two matches in its first night. WilsonA won a ladder match to become the MXW Briefcase holder and Caleb won the MXW Championship Battle Royal to become the inaugural champion. The roster included members from MPW, who protested over the company. This would lead to MPW taking a temporally break, while MXW would continue. Only one show was 2015 was recorded which took place on August 7, 2015. One of the founders, Nevlin, was fired from the company.
In November 2015, MXW announced they were taking a three month hiatus. This led to Wilson's MXW Championship being vacated and the first Xecution being canceled. On February 27, 2016, a sixteen man tournament was held for the new MXW Champion. The tournament was won by MatdogHD.
Around April 2016, Caleb announced his departure from MXW, leaving Toad to run the show. This would lead to MilkyOreo12 join Toad in running the show. On August 13, 2016, Toad returned on-screen to announce a brand-split between Milky's Knockout and Toad's new show called "Unleashed." The split lasted for four months before it was announced that Unleashed would close on October 15, 2016.
In 2017, Toad announced he would depart from MXW leadership, leading him to announce UltimateGuy22 as the new co-owner. In December 2017, Milky announced a break from the company without reason, leaving Ultimate to run the show alone. Ultimate would begin using his leadership against wrestler rock_hard321. On March 3, 2018, Milky returned to MXW to retake ownership and fired Ultimate from his position. As of January 2019, Milky runs MXW solely.
