Samoan Swat Team, Former MLW Tag Team Champions, Have Reportedly Been Released

It appears that Alex Hammerstone isn’t the only Major League Wrestling star to ask for his release — both Lance Anoa’i and Juicy Finau revealed on Sunday night on X (previously known as Twitter) that they were granted their releases. Their last match for MLW was back on July 8, at MLW Never Say Never, where they lost the MLW World Tag Team Titles to AKIRA and Rickey Shane Page.

Anoa’i wrote, “As Of TODAY! I have been granted my @MLW Release! I wanna thank MLW! Wanna give a big shout out to my USOs @JuicyFinau and @SAMOANWEREWOLF Thank you for everything! Love you guys! #SST.” Meanwhile Finau tweeted, “As of today I’ve been released from @MLW Just want to thank everyone I’ve crossed paths with while I was there. Extremely thankful to MLW for the opportunities! Especially wanna thank my brothers @SAMOANWEREWOLF & @lanceanoai IM NOW A FREE AGENT.”

During their time in MLW, Anoa’i and Finau were part of the Samoan Swat Team with Anoa’i’s cousin, former MLW Heavyweight Champion Jacob Fatu. The only titles they held in the company, as mentioned earlier, were the MLW Tag Team Titles, holding them for a total of 182 days. Since Anoa’i has been absent from MLW, he’s been busy wrestling in Pro Wrestling NOAH, while Finau has worked at a series of indie events.

Anoa’i made his pro wrestling debut in 2010, while Finau began his pro wrestling career in 2019. It’s worth mentioning that Anoa’i’s father is former WWF Tag Team Champion Samu who’s best known for tagging with WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi as the Headshrinkers. Anoa’i also has a few WWE matches under his belt — the latest was in 2019, in a match against none other than Shane McMahon.

Former MLW World Champion Alex Hammerstone Reportedly Requests To Be Released

One of Major League Wrestling’s biggest stars has reportedly requested his release, but he may not be granted it anytime soon.

Fightful Select broke the news on Saturday that former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Alex Hammerstone has requested his release from the company as his five-year relationship with MLW has become “frayed.” Hammerstone is said to be under contract until the end of 2025, while MLW does not intend to grant the release. As of this writing, Hammerstone has not been informed whether his request will be granted or denied.

The 32-year-old hasn’t appeared for MLW since July when his 644-day World Championship reign ended at the hands of Alex Kane. The company believes Hammerstone’s motivation decreased after dropping the gold.

Fightful adds that Hammerstone is under a monthly guarantee that adds pay per event. Hammerstone was initially set to miss MLW’s September event due to a prior obligation, but when he became available, the funds that would’ve been allocated for him went elsewhere and he was ultimately not brought in.

Hammerstone remains under MLW contract despite not being featured on the company’s active online roster that was recently updated. The current roster boasts familiar names like Matt Cardona, Maki Itoh, Jacob Fatu, Minoru Suzuki, Davey Boy Smith Jr., KUSHIDA, Raven, and others.

Lastly, MLW obviously wants to retain Hammerstone’s services as the company has invested much time in building him as their top star. He reportedly indicated to management earlier this year that he felt burned out and he is not currently booked to appear soon.
