MLW NEWS AND NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2026-11-11 10:47:00

Match Producers for the MLW PPV and TV taping over the weekend were Josef Samel, Jesus Rodriguez, Trevor Lee, Andrew Greenfield, and Okumura, overseen obviously by Court Bauer.

Nick Bonnano was also working the production side of the Chicago shows.

Rafael Morffi was not in attendance for the Chicago events because he was in Houston working on another client's event.  While it has been presented as if he has joined MLW full-time, that is not the case.  His company Signature Moves has taken on MLW as one of its clients.  Chad Brown and AJ Scales handled those responsibilities in Chicago.  Brown has worked on MLW's VIP and hospitality for many years while Scales worked under Mike Kitlas for many years as his right hand man.

As we noted earlier this week, while Dijak hasannounced he is now a free agent after leaving MLW, the reality is he always was one, as he was never signed to the company.  New MLW Champion Josh Bishop referred to himself as a "free agent" on Twitter yesterday, perhaps as a joke in relation to Dijak.  Bishop then said the tweet was bad timing as it went out shortly after GCW owner Brett Lauderdale ripped the promotion on Twitter, saying there was no reason for a talent to sign with MLW.

Sources in MLW praised Atlas Security for all their help this weekend, especially given how many bouts had brawling outside the rails.  Atlas were given a ton of credit for keeping all the talents safe.

MLW's next event is this February in Atlanta.
