For those of you who didn't see the event as it streamed live, MLW Superfight 2024 was the best MLW presentation on TrillerTV+ to date and probably the best broadcast from MLW in a number of years. Mistico vs. Averno was a great lucha bout, Satoshi Kojima vs. Alex Kane was good and Jacob Fatu vs. Yuji Nagata was, to me as a Nagata fan, a lot of fun.
Several sources have noted that with the WWE lawsuit over, Court Bauer has been spending more focus on the actual in-ring product and storylines than he likely has in years.
Rikishi announced over the weekend that Jacob Fatu is now a free agent. He had been locked in a long-term MLW deal, so how that happened is a mystery and no one has spoken about it on record. We are told that for now, he will still be appearing for the company. Mads Kruger returned, backed by CONTRA, to set up a Street Fight that will stream on 2/17 as a BeIn Sport and YouTube special.
The 2/29 Intimidation Games 2024 PPV on TrillerTV+ will be headlined by MLW Champion Satoshi Kojima vs. Minoru Suzuki, which sounds like a lot of fun. Mistico vs. Rocky Romero for the MLW Middleweight Championship is also set for that show, which will emanate from The Melrose Ballroom in NYC. MLW has announced Bobby Fish will debut that evening as well.
Christian Cole replaced Matt Striker as color commentator at Superfight. There's no word yet if Striker is done here or not.
Raven returned as an ally for Akira at Superfight.
Dario Cuerto is also back to feud with Salina de la Renta as battling bosses looking for control over lucha in MLW.
MLW was selling their first-ever action figures from Boss Fight Studio at Superfight over the weekend.
Superfight was the last scheduled show in the 2300 Arena currently for the promotion.
Additional dates set for the company are 3/29 in St. Petersburg, FL (Tampa) at The Coliseum and 5/11 in Chicago at Cicero Stadium.
