Two title matches announced for next week’s MLW Fusion

Two championship matches will take place on next week’s edition of MLW Fusion.

MLW has announced that MLW Tag Team Champions Los Parks will defend their titles against Injustice’s Myron Reed & Jordan Oliver on Fusion next Wednesday. Lio Rush will also defend his MLW Middleweight Championship on the episode, but his challenger hasn’t been revealed.

Injustice cut a promo on this week’s Fusion saying that Los Parks have their respect — but they’re coming after Los Parks’ MLW Tag Team titles. Later in the show, Contra Unit warned Injustice that they’ll be watching next week’s Tag Team title match closely. Injustice cost Contra Unit’s Simon Gotch & Daivari a Tag Team title match against Los Parks on Fusion last week.

There was a storyline on this week’s Fusion where an open contract for a shot at Rush’s Middleweight Championship was taped outside of the locker room. The contract was taken and it was said that a Middleweight title match is official for next week, but Rush’s opponent wasn’t announced.

LA Park & El Hijo de LA Park became MLW Tag Team Champions by defeating Marshall & Ross Von Erich this January. Tom Lawlor, who is a rival of the Von Erichs, was the special guest referee for that title match and favored Los Parks throughout.

Rush has also been MLW Middleweight Champion since January. He won the title by defeating Reed. Last month, Rush defeated Laredo Kid in a title vs. title match to retain the MLW Middleweight Championship and win the AAA Cruiserweight Championship.

Here’s the updated lineup for next week’s Fusion:

  • MLW Tag Team Champions Los Parks defend against Injustice’s Myron Reed & Jordan Oliver
  • MLW Middleweight Champion Lio Rush defends his title
  • Mil Muertes vs. Parrow
  • TJP vs. Bu Ku Dao
