MLW announces working relationship with Dragon Gate

MLW announced a new partnership at their Fightland television tapings on Saturday night.

It was revealed at the tapings that MLW has formed a working relationship with Dragon Gate. Pro Wrestling NOAH was previously MLW’s partner in Japan.

Post Wrestling reported that “MLW and Dragon Gate had been in talks with the deal signed over the past week with the plan to bring Dragon Gate talent over to the U.S once they complete the process of securing visas for the talent.

“It is not known what the time frame is for the first wave of Dragon Gate talent to appear in the U.S. as the process of securing visas is said to be longer in the current climate. MLW will begin the immigration process immediately.”

At their Saturday Night SuperFight pay-per-view in November, MLW announced that they had begun a working relationship with Lucha Libre AAA. That has included AAA wrestlers appearing at MLW’s Zero Hour tapings last month and their Fightland tapings tonight.
