MLW Announces New Streaming Deal

MLW Announces New Streaming Deal MLW

Major League Wrestling (MLW) has confirmed that the promotion has secured a new streaming partner in Pro Wrestling TV (PWTV).

MLW content will begin airing on PWTV from November, with MLW Battle Riot IV airing on November 3.

The promotion issued the following press release:

“MLW, one of the world’s premier pro wrestling organizations, and Pro Wrestling TV (“PWTV”), a free ad-supported streaming service, announced today they have entered into a partnership to bring MLW to PWTV.

The agreement will bring the promotion’s flagship weekly wrestling program — MLW FUSION — to PWTV’s free streaming service as part of its fall lineup, beginning Thursday, November 3rd at 8:00 PM ET with MLW Battle RIOT IV kicking off the partnership.

One week after MLW Battle RIOT IV, MLW FUSION returns Thursday, November 10th at 8:00 PM ET with a new season of action.”

It’s not just new content that’ll be coming to the platform though, with MLW confirming:

“As part of the deal, PWTV viewers will enjoy multiple seasons of the long-running MLW FUSION series as well access to the MLW library, which dates back to 2002 and features MLW Underground and tentpole events, including Battle RIOT, War Chamber and the Opera Cup.”

Speaking about the agreement, MLW CEO and founder Court Bauer said:

“The future of streaming is free and PWTV’s commitment to giving fans value and quality makes it the ideal platform for MLW.”

This announcement comes as MLW awaits a hearing for their lawsuit against WWE . The initial lawsuit filed by MLW in January had alleged that WWE had attempted to undermine competition within the industry and interfered in MLW’s negotiations and business projects with potential partners, which allegedly included a ‘major streaming deal which would have been transformative for the company’.
