MLW has announced the signing of former TNA and ROH star Davey Richards and confirmed that he will be making his debut for the promotion in July.
The company has been looking to restock its roster following their new TV deal with Vice. Just last week they confirmed Dario Cueto as El Jefe of Aztec Underground.
They announced another big addition to their roster as part of their open draft concept this week and confirmed that Davey Richards who announced his return to pro wrestling in March has signed with the promotion:
The episode featured Alicia Atout interviewing the company’s newest signing. During the interview, the former ROH star revealed that he actually signed with the promotion a while back.
Richards claimed that he was offered contracts by several companies when he announced his return to professional wrestling. He chose MLW as his new home because it stood out as a sports-oriented option.
The heavyweight star has had a successful career and he has competed for many well-known companies as well as the most famous independent promotions.
Davey Richards has won gold everywhere he has been. Apart from being a former ROH champion, he is a former TNA tag team champion and IWGP junior heavyweight tag team champion as well.
MLW will return to Philadelphia for their July 10 event which will be held in front of fans and their newest signing will also be making his debut on the same show.
