National title match set for MLW Zero Hour tapings
Aerostar is getting a title shot when he appears at MLW’s Zero Hour television tapings next month.
MLW has announced that National Openweight Champion Alexander Hammerstone will defend his title against Aerostar at Zero Hour. The show is taking place at the NYTEX Sports Centre in North Richland Hills, Texas on Saturday, January 11.
Aerostar is one of four Lucha Libre AAA wrestlers announced for the Zero Hour tapings. Drago, Puma King, and Taurus are also set for the show.
A working partnership between MLW and AAA was announced at MLW’s Saturday Night SuperFight pay-per-view last month.
Hammerstone became the inaugural National Openweight Champion by winning a tournament for the title this June.
MLW also announced today that Erick Stevens will make his debut for the promotion at Zero Hour. Here’s the updated card for the event:
- Jimmy Havoc vs. Mance Warner in a no ropes barbed wire match
- Ross Von Erich vs. Tom Lawlor
- National Openweight Champion Alexander Hammerstone defending against Aerostar
- Marshall Von Erich vs. MJF (If MJF wins, The Dynasty will get a Tag Team title shot against The Von Erichs. If Marshall wins, MJF can’t challenge The Von Erichs for the titles again.)
