Laredo Kid to defend AAA Cruiserweight title on MLW Fusion

Laredo Kid’s AAA Cruiserweight Championship will be on the line on this week’s episode of MLW Fusion.

MLW has announced that Laredo Kid will defend his AAA Cruiserweight title against Zenshi on Fusion this week. The episode premieres on YouTube, Fubo Sports, and the Roku Channel at 7 p.m. Eastern time this Wednesday.

Laredo Kid has been AAA Cruiserweight Champion since February 2019. At Triplemania XXVIII last month, he unsuccessfully challenged Kenny Omega for the AAA Mega Championship.

Laredo Kid took part in MLW’s 2020 Opera Cup tournament, losing to ACH in the first round.

Zenshi lost to new Contra Unit member Daivari on last week’s episode of MLW Fusion.

This week’s MLW Fusion will be headlined by Savio Vega facing Richard Holliday in a Caribbean strap match for the Caribbean Heavyweight Championship. TJP & Bu Ku Dao will also face Violence is Forever (Dominic Garrini & Kevin Ku) in a Tag Team Championship eliminator match on the show, with the winning team becoming first in line for a shot at Los Parks’ MLW Tag Team titles.
