Chris Jericho Roasts Fan, Riho Set For TJPW Return, Swerve Strickland Note, MLW Announcement

In a recent announcement on the company’s website, Major League Wrestling (MLW) teased “free agent discussions” for the roster for next year.

The announcement also states that “familiar faces” will be returning as well.

You can check out the official announcement below:

“Free Agent discussions heat up

Expect some familiar faces on the MLW ’24 roster

Winter is here but the hot stove is heating up. MLW’s talent relations department, which is in the midst of a significant overhaul, has been active in discussions with several high-profile free agents.

Expect some big news to drop this week that could instantly impact the league and all shows going forward.”

AEW wrestler Chris Jericho responded to a fan on Twitter who opined that now would be a good time for The Lionheart to take time off from television as his Golden Jets tag team partner Kenny Omega has been sidelined indefinitely due to diverticulitis.

Jericho wrote, “Great idea! See ya on Wednesday….”

Jericho and Omega were previously scheduled to challenge Ricky Starks and Big Bill for the AEW World Tag Team Championships this week.
