Johnny Fusion (John Hennigan) is set to challenge MLW National Openweight Champion Davey Richards at MLW’s Blood & Thunder tapings.
MLW announced last week that the former John Morrison will debut at the Blood & Thunder tapings, and now they have confirmed his opponent. This will be the first-ever match between the veteran pro wrestlers.
“The styles of each wrestler makes this title fight a fascinating match-up,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer in a press release issued to us today. “The technical excellence of Richards and the aerial blitz and showmanship of Johnny Fusion creates a match that guarantees to be a banger.”
The MLW Blood & Thunder event will take place on Saturday, January 7 from the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, and this will be a MLW Fusion TV taping, to air at a future date.
Below is the updated card for MLW Blood & Thunder:
