The MLW contract of former MLW World Heavyweight Champion has officially expired as of today (November 1), making him a free agent.
Fightful Select originally reported that Lawlor’s deal was expiring prior to MLW’s Battle Riot show on November 6, and that he would be departing the company.
Lawlor took to Twitter to announce his free agency, speaking highly of MLW and the staff on his departure, writing:
As of today, I am a free agent in the world of professional wrestling. Thank you to @mlw @courtbauer @MSL @beINSPORTSUSA for the time & effort they put in with me. But mostly I’d like to thank the MLW staff, wrestlers past & present, and fans for the 4 years of memories! #mlw
MLW CEO Court Bauer responded to Lawlor’s tweet, thanking him for his service and wishing him well in his future. He replied:
Thank you for your tour of duty, Tom. You were a wonderful collaborator and member of the family. I look forward to your next chapter. See you on down the road, Filthy.
