MLW notes: Middleweight title, DJZ debut, Dreamer vs. Pillman Jr.

With MJF (Maxwell Jacob Friedman) recovering from a fractured elbow, MLW has announced how they’ll be handling their Middleweight title situation.

There will be a ladder match for the title at MLW’s television tapings in Miami, Florida on December 14. If MJF is cleared to return in time, it will be a five-way match with MJF defending against Andrew Everett, Dezmond Xavier, Kotto Brazil, and Jason Cade. If MJF isn’t cleared, it will be Everett vs. Xavier vs. Brazil vs. Cade to decide the new champion.

MJF tweeted on Sunday that the recovery time for his elbow injury is expected to be 4-6 weeks.

Marko Stunt was originally supposed to be in the ladder match before suffering a broken leg at Joey Janela’s LA Confidential earlier this month.

A Singapore cane match between Tommy Dreamer and Brian Pillman Jr. has also been confirmed for the December 14 MLW show.

MLW will be holding tapings at the Scottish Rite Temple in Miami on both Thursday, December 13 and Friday, December 14. MLW has announced that DJZ will be making his debut for the promotion in Miami, and Everett, Xavier, and Dragon Lee will also be debuting as part of the tapings.
