MLW BROADCAST DEAL UPDATE, AZTECA UNDERGROUND & MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2021-02-23 10:58:00

Major League Wrestling has received a bid on a new broadcast deal for the company, PWInsider.com has learned.  We don't have additional details currently but can confirm negotiations are ongoing.  WWE's recent Peacock deal has greatly increased overall interest in professional wrestling content of late.  

As noted previously, MLW is also looking at launching a second serious beyond MLW Fusion.  While MLW Underground and Rebellion have been bandied about as potential series names, there's been more talk lately of using the Azteca Underground name, playing off the mysterious group that purchased Salina de la Renta's Promociones Dorado in MLW storylines - which has obvious allusions to the now-defunct Lucha Underground.

This week's episode of MLW Underground (as long as they follow chronologically) should feature:

*Josh Daniels vs. Rich Criado

*Terry Funk vs. Abdullah the Butcher

*Los Maximos vs. Jimmy Yang & Tony Mamaluke

Set for the 3/3 edition of Fusion:

*MLW Champion Jacob Fatu vs. Jordan Oliver.

*MLW Tag Team Champions Los Parks vs. CONTRA-Unit's Simon Gotch & Daivari.

MLW is selling a shirt for Septimo Dragon with all of MLW's proceeds being directly donated to the lucha star, who continues to recover from the hit and run accident that put him in the hospital, where he has endured numerous surgeries.  You can order the shirt by clicking here.
