The revolving world of professional wrestling in 2021 just had another opening, when it was announced that MLW Middleweight Champion Tajiri will defend the title in All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) against Atsuki Aoyagi.
MLW CEO Court Bauer took to his Twitter last week, praising Aoyagi and plotting a potential interpromotional bout between he and Tajiri.
MLW has since posted the following announcement on it’s website:
The newly minted World Middleweight Champion Yoshihiro TAJIRI will defend the title in an All Japan Pro Wrestling ring.
MLW.com has confirmed that TAJIRI’s first title defense will take place on Sunday November 28th.
Atsuki Aoyagi, a talented AJPW grappler, will challenge TAJIRI in the historic title fight.
This marks the first MLW World Championship defense in an All Japan Pro Wrestling ring since 2003.
The announcement of the interpromotional championship bout comes just days after MLW CEO Court Bauer pondered such a match on twitter.
