🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Major League Wrestling is proud to announce that MLW Fusion is now available on Amazon Prime Video, expanding the league’s reach and giving fans another way to experience and collect its championship fights, epic rivalries and hard-hitting action.
Tessa Blanchard’s complicated situation involving Major League Wrestling (MLW) and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) appears to have reached a resolution, with the former world champion reportedly cleared to compete for MLW.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, the situation has been worked out between the promotions, paving the way for Blanchard to make her MLW debut on November 7 at Saturday Night Super Fight.
Meltzer shared the update on X on Thursday morning, writing, “Tessa Blanchard headed to MLW. All worked out with CMLL.”
The latest development follows weeks of uncertainty surrounding Blanchard’s status and whether she would be permitted to wrestle for MLW while maintaining her connection with CMLL.
Tessa Blanchard’s MLW Status Takes Another Turn
Blanchard initially announced on September 1 that she had signed with MLW, seemingly confirming a new chapter in her wrestling career.
However, that announcement was followed by a clarification from CMLL just days later. The Mexican promotion stated that Blanchard had not actually signed a contract with MLW and was only scheduled to compete in a match for the company.
Now, with Meltzer reporting that the situation has been resolved and CMLL announcing Blanchard’s upcoming MLW appearance, it appears the necessary arrangements have been made for her to compete.
MLW has Blanchard scheduled for Saturday Night Super Fight on November 7, which could provide a fresh opportunity for the former Impact Wrestling Knockouts World Champion to establish herself with the promotion.
Blanchard to Represent CMLL in the Grand Prix de Amazonas
Blanchard’s upcoming MLW appearance is not the only major development involving her schedule. CMLL has also announced that she will represent the promotion in the Grand Prix de Amazonas on October 23.
She will compete alongside La Jarochita and Thunder Rosa as part of CMLL’s representation in the event.
The tournament will feature wrestlers connected to several promotions, making it an international showcase of women’s wrestling talent.
CMLL’s team will include Blanchard, La Jarochita, and Thunder Rosa, while MLW will be represented by Blackheart and Killer Kelly. Alice Crowley will represent MLP, and AEW will have Megan Bayne, Queen Aminata, and Harley Cameron competing.
The event gives Blanchard another opportunity to compete on a major international stage before her scheduled MLW appearance in November.
What Happens Next for Tessa Blanchard?
With the reported agreement between MLW and CMLL, Blanchard appears poised to work with both promotions without the scheduling dispute that previously threatened her MLW plans.
The situation also highlights the increasingly interconnected nature of professional wrestling, with talent appearing across multiple promotions and international partnerships creating opportunities for crossover matches.
For Blanchard, the next few weeks could prove important as she prepares for the Grand Prix de Amazonas before moving on to Saturday Night Super Fight.
Although the latest report indicates that the issue has been resolved, fans will be watching to see how MLW ultimately presents Blanchard and whether her November appearance leads to a more regular role with the company.
For now, her MLW debut is back on the schedule, and the apparent resolution with CMLL puts the focus back on what Blanchard can accomplish inside the ring.
Tessa Blanchard headed to MLW. All worked out with CMLL
Major League Wrestling has secured a new distribution deal that will bring its flagship program to one of the largest free streaming platforms in the United States.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, MLW Fusion will begin airing on Tubi starting Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET. The weekly series will continue to stream in that timeslot moving forward, though the length of the agreement was not disclosed.
The deal marks a significant milestone for MLW, particularly given the promotion’s history with the platform.
MLW revived Fusion in May 2026 after the show had been dormant for roughly three years. Since its return, episodes have been available free of charge on YouTube. The move to Tubi potentially expands the show’s reach considerably, as the streaming service reportedly boasts approximately 110 million monthly active users.
MLW CEO Court Bauer emphasized the importance of keeping the promotion’s content easily accessible to fans.
“We built MLW around that, no paywalls, no subscription barriers, nothing standing between a fan and the show, and Tubi shares that same fan-first philosophy at scale,” Bauer told The Hollywood Reporter.
The agreement is particularly notable given the legal battle that previously involved both companies.
In January 2022, MLW filed an antitrust lawsuit against WWE, alleging that the larger promotion interfered with business relationships and media opportunities. Among the claims was an allegation that WWE had influenced Tubi, which is owned by Fox, to discontinue a potential partnership with MLW while SmackDown was airing on the network.
The lawsuit remained active until December 2023, when the two sides reached a settlement.
Additional details emerged in February 2024 through a TKO Group Holdings earnings report, which disclosed a $20 million settlement related to WWE’s antitrust litigation. While MLW was not specifically named in the filing, the report referenced the antitrust lawsuit involving WWE.
Now, several years after the dispute began, MLW has officially landed on the very platform that was once at the center of its legal claims.
The first episode of MLW Fusion on Tubi is scheduled to air Thursday night, giving the promotion a significantly larger platform as it continues to grow its audience.
The ongoing uncertainty surrounding Tessa Blanchard’s relationship with MLW appears to have reached another significant development.
Blanchard has officially been announced for a CMLL event on September 12, where she is scheduled to face Starlight Kid. The booking effectively confirms that she will not be appearing at MLW Fightland, which is scheduled for the same day.
The situation has become increasingly confusing over the past several weeks. Blanchard initially stated during an interview with TMZ Sports that she would be “starting with MLW” and spoke about her desire to compete in the promotion’s women’s division, including challenging for the MLW Women’s World Championship.
Those comments led many to believe that Blanchard had signed with MLW, particularly given the company’s working relationship with CMLL.
However, that perception quickly changed when CMLL clarified that Blanchard was not under contract with MLW and was only expected to make a single appearance. Shortly afterward, MLW removed promotional material related to Blanchard from its website, including references to her previously announced debut.
The situation became even murkier when Dave Meltzer discussed the matter on Wrestling Observer Radio, admitting that details regarding the arrangement between Blanchard, MLW, and CMLL were unclear.
With Blanchard now officially booked for a CMLL match against Starlight Kid on September 12, any possibility of her appearing at Fightland on the same day appears to be off the table.
Blanchard has remained with CMLL since departing TNA earlier this year. Following her release, she stated that she was asked to choose between continuing with TNA or remaining with CMLL and ultimately elected to stay with the Mexican promotion.
At the time, TNA maintained a working relationship with AAA, which is now owned by WWE. While Blanchard had previously been permitted to work for both TNA and CMLL, reports surfaced suggesting TNA officials were unhappy with some of her appearances for CMLL shortly before her departure.
As of now, neither MLW nor Blanchard has publicly addressed the removal of her promotional materials from the company’s website. What is clear is that Blanchard will not be appearing at MLW Fightland on September 12, as she is scheduled to face Starlight Kid for CMLL on the same date. However, whether that means her relationship with MLW has ended entirely or was only ever intended to be a one-off appearance remains unclear.
Tessa Blanchard’s recently announced move to Major League Wrestling may not be as certain as it appeared just days ago.
Questions regarding Blanchard’s status with the promotion surfaced after MLW quietly removed references to her signing from its official website. The development comes shortly after the company announced that the former TNA World Champion would make her MLW debut at Fightland 2026 on September 12.
The sudden disappearance of the announcement has led to speculation about whether Blanchard’s relationship with the promotion has changed behind the scenes.
Adding another layer of uncertainty to the situation, CMLL recently clarified that Blanchard’s involvement with MLW was only intended to be a one-time appearance. According to the Mexican promotion, there is currently no broader agreement involving Blanchard, MLW, and CMLL beyond the previously announced Fightland date.
Further fueling questions is the fact that Blanchard was reportedly never added to the official Fightland lineup despite the initial announcement of her appearance. It remains unclear whether the event page simply was not updated or if plans changed after the signing news became public.
The situation is particularly noteworthy because Blanchard recently spoke publicly about her future, describing MLW as her “second home” while emphasizing that CMLL remains her primary wrestling destination.
At this point, neither MLW nor Blanchard has commented on the removal of the announcement or her disappearance from the company’s online roster page.
Until either side addresses the situation, the status of Blanchard’s planned MLW debut remains uncertain, leaving fans waiting for clarification just days before Fightland is scheduled to take place.
Tessa Blanchard has found a new home in professional wrestling.
According to comments made during an appearance on TMZ‘s Inside the Ring podcast, Blanchard confirmed that she is set to join Major League Wrestling after departing TNA earlier this year.
“I’m going to be starting with MLW here soon, and I’m super, super excited for everything to come,” Blanchard said.
The move marks the first time in Blanchard’s career that she will compete under the MLW banner. The former TNA World Champion and Knockouts Champion indicated that she plans to make an immediate impact once she arrives, with her sights already set on the MLW Women’s World Championship, currently held by Shotzi Blackheart.
Blanchard also expressed interest in becoming a cornerstone of the promotion’s women’s division, suggesting she hopes to establish herself as one of the key faces of that roster moving forward.
An additional benefit of the deal is that it allows Blanchard to continue working with CMLL in Mexico. MLW’s working relationship with the lucha libre promotion gives her the flexibility to remain active in both organizations.
During the interview, Blanchard also addressed her departure from TNA, explaining that she was ultimately forced to choose between remaining with TNA or continuing her association with CMLL. She opted to stay with the Mexican promotion, leading to her exit from TNA.
Blanchard’s arrival adds another notable name to MLW’s growing women’s division and immediately creates a potential championship match with Shotzi.
Once regarded as one of the top female performers in North America, Blanchard’s career has experienced several highs and lows over the past several years. Despite the controversies and setbacks that impacted her career trajectory, she has remained active in professional wrestling through various promotions, including CMLL and TNA.
Now, with MLW officially in her future, Blanchard is preparing for the next chapter of her career and appears ready to make her presence felt as soon as she steps into an MLW ring.
Lady Frost’s time with AEW/ROH has officially wrapped up—but her next chapter is already underway.
After reports surfaced that her AEW contract had expired, Frost took to social media to confirm the news herself. In a message posted on Twitter, she expressed gratitude for her time in the company and its leadership, specifically thanking Tony Khan for the opportunity.
“As of today, I am a free agent,” Frost wrote. “I want to thank @TonyKhan for being an incredibly kind and passionate boss. I had some of the most incredible moments with @AEW, and I am so grateful for the years that I spent there. For now, I’m on the hunt. Onto the next…”

Shortly after her announcement, Fightful Select reported that Frost had already signed with Major League Wrestling. According to the report, MLW had strong interest in bringing her in and acted quickly to secure her signature once she became available.
Frost even followed up on her original post with a quick update, confirming the speedy turnaround: “Not a free agent anymore. That didn’t take long.”
Frost first appeared in AEW back in 2020 on Dark, gradually building her presence before making her Dynamite debut in 2023. While she never became a central figure in the women’s division, she remained a consistent and reliable performer across AEW programming.
Now heading to MLW, Frost gets a fresh opportunity to showcase her unique style in a new environment—and if the quick signing is any indication, she may have a prominent role waiting for her.
A familiar trio is carving out a new path in the wrestling world. The group formerly known as Gallus has officially landed in Major League Wrestling, confirming their signing after making a statement appearance at Battle Riot VIII.
Joe Coffey, speaking with The Takedown on SI, opened up about the decision and why MLW felt like the right destination for the group—now going by GBOT (Glasgow Boys On Top). According to Coffey, the promotion offered the kind of environment they were looking for at this stage in their careers.
He pointed to their experience at Battle Riot as a key factor, noting that it gave them an immediate sense of what MLW brings to the table. With a roster full of talent, Coffey made it clear that he, Mark Coffey, and Wolfgang are eager to test themselves against fresh competition and show fans exactly what they bring to the ring.
Their arrival adds another layer of depth to MLW’s already stacked lineup, and it sounds like the trio is motivated to make a strong first impression with a new audience.
Interestingly, this move comes after earlier reports suggested there was internal interest within AEW to bring the group in following their WWE release in May 2025. At the time, Coffey indicated they were keeping their options open, but MLW ultimately emerged as the landing spot.
Now officially part of the promotion, GBOT looks ready to reestablish themselves and make noise in a new landscape.
It looks like Major League Wrestling (MLW) is preparing to make a big move on the television front. According to a new report from PWInsider, the promotion is deep in discussions over media rights for a brand-new weekly TV series, signaling one of its most ambitious projects in years.
Sources indicate that MLW executives have been holding meetings in New York and Los Angeles, exploring potential broadcast and streaming partnerships to bring the new series to life. While details remain tightly guarded, the belief is that the talks are focused primarily on the U.S. market.
If negotiations go well, the new series would mark MLW’s first weekly show since “Fusion” wrapped up in December 2023. To get things rolling, the company has already started searching for new backstage interviewers, suggesting that production plans are beginning to take shape behind the scenes.
At the moment, MLW’s U.S. programming airs on beIN Sports, which showcases its monthly specials, with additional live content available on YouTube. Internationally, MLW can be found on StarTimes across Africa and the Wataaa Fight Channel in the Middle East.
Adding to the intrigue, actor O’Shea Jackson Jr. and director Tony Toat were both spotted at the MLW Slaughterhouse event earlier this month — a sighting that’s fueled speculation about possible Hollywood involvement in the new project.
While MLW hasn’t officially announced its new TV home just yet, the buzz around these talks suggests that the company is gearing up for a major return to weekly television — and potentially, a bigger spotlight in the global wrestling landscape.
MLW star “Filthy” Tom Lawlor has opened up about some serious health challenges he’s currently facing, confirming that he’ll soon undergo hip replacement surgery. The MMA fighter-turned-pro wrestler shared the news during a recent appearance on Wrestling Observer Live, revealing the extent of the damage to his left hip — and it’s no minor issue.
According to Lawlor, after undergoing scans, a medical professional gave him a blunt but eye-opening assessment. “If you walked into a nursing home right now, there are 90-year-old women who would rightfully have pity upon the shape that your left hip is in,” he was told. The left side is reportedly riddled with bone spurs so severe they’ve pushed the hip out of its socket. While the right hip isn’t in perfect shape either, the left is clearly the major concern.
This isn’t the first time Lawlor has hinted at serious physical wear and tear. Just last month, he mentioned the possibility of needing back surgery down the line — further underscoring the toll that years of combat sports have taken on his body.
Lawlor has competed across a range of promotions including NJPW, MLW, and the independent circuit, and has never been shy about throwing himself fully into the physical demands of the ring. While there’s no word yet on a timeline for his surgery or recovery, it’s clear that Lawlor is preparing for a major step toward long-term health — even if it means stepping away from in-ring action for the foreseeable future.
We’ll keep you updated on Lawlor’s status as more details emerge. Here’s hoping “Filthy” Tom gets the treatment he needs and makes a full recovery.
