MLW SCRAPS EL PASO TV TAPING, EVENT WILL MOVE FORWARD AS HOUSE SHOW​

MLW'S scheduled TV taping on 8/27 in El Paso, Texas has been canceled, PWInsider.com has learned. The show will go forward as a house show.

MLW's Jared St. Laurent issued an email to talents no longer being brought in, informing them of the taping cancellation so that they could attempt to pick up other bookings for that date, stating that the "lucha promoter" would not be bringing in as many MLW talents as originally "promised" so the scheduled taping at Austin High School was being scrapped.

St. Laurent also informed the talents that were pulled from the show that they would receive half pay for the canceled booking "as a token of our appreciation as I know it's been very frustrating having the schedule change this summer while we continue to finalize the new TV deal."

PWInsider.com is told that MLW Champion Alexander Hammerstone, Jacob Fatu and others will still be appearing on 8/27. There is no word whether MLW will film the house show for future usage.

MLW has content filmed in NYC waiting to be used when the promotion starts its next "season" in the fall and is scheduled to run 9/18 in Atlanta, GA for an event that has been envisioned as a live broadcast, should the right deal be made by then.

Davey Richards vs. SB KENTo National Openweight Championship signed​

MLW today announced an inter-promotional National Openweight Championship bout featuring DRAGONGATE’s SB KENTo vs. Davey Richards (champion) at MLW: SUPER SERIES’22 presented by MLA from greater Atlanta on Sunday, September 18 at the Space Event Center at 6100 Live Oak Pkwy in Norcross, Georgia 30093.

The card is a FUSION TV taping, airing on beIN SPORTS nationwide on cable and dish and in over 60 countries around the world.

Purchase tickets at http://www.LuchaTickets.com.

Two master technicians will fight for the first-time ever as the rising star of DRAGONGATE SB KENTo challenges for his first championship in America.

Davey Richards has defended the National Openweight Championship against threats from New Japan Pro Wrestling and the NWA and upon hearing of DRAGONGATE’s presence in the Super Series, the hunt was on for the “American Wolf” to make it a trifecta with DRAGONGATE.

Determined to defend the National Openweight Title against anyone anywhere, Richards worked with league officials over the past few weeks to lock in a title fight for Super Series. Now that bout is set.

Mr. Toru Kido, CEO of DRAGONGATE, has authorized SB KENTo to challenge for the title, with MLW CEO Court Bauer and Cesar Duran signing off on the inter-promotional championship bout this morning.

Representing DRAGONGATE and the infamous Z-Brats, SB KENTo is a former Open The Twin Gate Champion, a two-time Open The Brave Gate Champion and an Open The Triangle Gate Champion. All belts won in a mere 3 year window, made even more impressive given he debuted in 2019.

Aligned with Shun Skywalker, KENTo is a technical force, crushing skulls with his brainbuster, “SBK” is also known to end matches with his brilliant bridging straight jacket German suplex and sharpshooter.

Will SBK bring gold home to Kobe, Japan? Find out in Atlanta at MLW Super Series’22.
