Over the weekend, MLW.com broke the news that the exhilarating Australian Adam Brooks was coming to MLW.  

The popular wrestler is one of Australia's top ranked wrestlers and has recently competed in the United Kingdom as well as Mexico.  

Entering MLW with an open contract for a bout, Brooks asked for the best to take him on. Little did he know the Milwaukee native and multi-time champion Austin Aries would put pen to paper on the contract.

With the shocking announcement on this week's FUSION that Austin Aries was coming soon to MLW, the self-proclaimed "greatest man that ever lived," sent shockwaves throughout the sport.

Labeled controversial by many, Austin Aries is unapologetically arrogant and fearless in and away from the ring – and it’s been a winning formula for the decorated competitor.

For two decades, Austin Aries been a force in the sport around the world. Implementing an offense that blends a variety of fighting styles, the hard-hitting and high-flying Aries has racked up world championships in virtually every organization he’s competed in.

The plant-based pro wrestler, author and speaker is one of the world’s most recognizable professional wrestlers from his time competing around the world.

A native of Milwaukee, the cunning veteran known as “A-Double” trains out of the fight capitol of the world, Las Vegas, where his fight camp consists of some of the top pro wrestlers and MMA fighters.

With both Brooks and Aries jockeying for a middleweight title shot, the implications are huge with the winner likely entering the conversation as a challenger to Teddy Hart's belt.  Who will prevail on June 1st? Find out LIVE.
