Major League Wrestling will return to New York City at The Melrose Ballroom on Thursday 6/11 for a MLW Fusion TV taping. Tickets will go on sale on 2/13. The promotion recently taped a return edition of MLW Fusion, but there is no official word where and when it will premiere.
With the departure of Jared "Mister" Saint Laurent from MLW, the promotion has made some backstage personnel changes, PWInsider.com can confirm. Josef Samuel has returned to the company in a behind the scenes position and will be heading up Talent Relations going forward. Former WWE announcer Rich Bocchini is also back with MLW and will be working under Samuel in the talent relations department.
The company's creative direction continues to be overseen by MLW President Court Bauer with Alex Greenfield heavily involved. Nick Bonnano returned recently working as a Producer and oversees promos and pre-tapes, among other responsibilities.
MLW will present Battle Riot 2026 this Thursday on BeIn Sport and their YouTube channel.
Beyond NYC, MLW has upcoming dates in Charleston, SC (where they are now headquartered), Chicago and Atlanta.
