Where is your matchs table/model ?

Table: event_matches

id    eventID    matchNumber    matchTypeID 
1        1                    1                      1

<?php

class Match extends \Eloquent {
	
	// LINK THIS MODEL TO OUR DATABASE TABLE ---------------------------------
	protected $table = 'events_matches';
	
	// DEFINE RELATIONSHIPS --------------------------------------------------
	public function event()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo('Events');
    }
    
    public function type()
    {
	    return $this->belongsTo('MatchType', 'match_type_id');
    }
    
    public function stipulation()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo('MatchStipulation', 'match_stipulation_id');
    }
    
    public function title()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo('Title');
    }
    
    public function competitors()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('EventMatchesAppearances');
    }
    
}

I don't understand the problem. You want to get the roster name of the competitor ? Isn't it just a relationship between roster and competitor ?

Yes however I'm trying to figure out how to get that relationship to show up when I need to echo the roster name of the competitor.

How should I be getting the roster name?

foreach($match->competitors as $competitor){

  echo $competitor->roster->roster_name;

}

Assuming that

class Competitor extends Eloquent{

  public function roster(){

    return $this->belongsTo('Roster');

  }

}

I have the following actually and I am getting the following error:

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'roster.event_matches_appearances_id' in 'where clause' (SQL: select * from `roster` where `roster`.`event_matches_appearances_id` = 1)

I'm trying to figure out what I need to do so that it will get the correct roster_name correctly.

<?php

class EventMatchesAppearances extends Eloquent {

	// LINK THIS MODEL TO OUR DATABASE TABLE ---------------------------------
	protected $table = 'event_matches_appearances';
	
	// DEFINE RELATIONSHIPS --------------------------------------------------
	public function roster()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('Roster');
    } 
    
}

You can override the default foreign key names when defining the relationship. Check the doc on eloquent relationships.

I get the correct query run to get the wrestler however when I try and echo his name it does not work. It errors saying undefined property::$roster_name.

@foreach($match->competitors AS $competitor)
    {{ $competitor->roster->roster_name }}
@endforeach
