Sami Callihan will captain his team of ravagers featuring Jimmy Havoc, the Death Machines and a mystery man versus John Hennigan, Shane Strickland, Barrington Hughes, Kotto Brazil and the “Innovator of Violence’ Tommy Dreamer.

For the first time in 15 years MLW will feature the 2-ring steel cage WAR GAMES® match… and it will mark the MLW debut of Tommy Dreamer, who will compete for the first-time ever in a WAR GAMES® match.

Unleashing terror throughout MLW, Callihan and his Death Machines have targeted underdog Kotto Brazil and the mighty 469 pound Barrington Hughes after taking out their childhood hero MVP in a Boiler Room Brawl on MLW Fusion.  

All summer long Kotto and Barrington have clashed with Callihan and his Death Machines on MLW Fusion.  September 6th there will be no place for them to go as they step foot in the 2 ring steel cage WAR GAMES® match.

Callihan is also attributed with ending Strickland’s 3-month World Heavyweight Title reign and has been battling the ex-champion all summer long. 

Hennigan and Callihan collided in the final stages of the Battle Riot match and sources indicate there are undisclosed issues between the two that may be revealed on MLW Fusion in the weeks ahead.  Tommy Dreamer was reportedly recruited by John Hennigan due to his penchant for the extreme and if there is one match that is extreme, it’s a WAR GAMES® match. 

Now the battlefield is set.  However, one mystery remains: who is the 5th participant for Callihan’s Ravagers?  We’ll just have to wait and see.  But don’t wait to get your tickets to see WAR GAMES® live!  You can purchase tickets now at MLWgo.com starting at just $10.

The super card will also feature a FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS.

WWE officials have made overtures to Fenix and Pentagon Jr., according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The brothers currently hold the MLW Tag Team Titles and the PWG World Tag Team Titles as Los Lucha Brothers. They have also been performing for Impact Wrestling. Pentagon held the Impact World Championship earlier this year.

There’s no word yet on what came of the feelers but word is that both wrestlers still have three seasons left on their current contracts with Lucha Underground.

It was recently revealed that WWE has interest in another former Lucha Underground champion, Angelico. WWE has had interest in Angelico on & off for years now but the big hold-up was his Lucha Underground contract, which is no longer an issue.
