MLW notes: Myron Reed hits free agency, new Featherweight title match announced

Former three-time MLW Middleweight Champion Myron Reed is now a free agent.

Fightful first reported Monday night that Reed became a free agent on January 14th after MLW released him in a “mutual and amicable” split.

Reed took to Twitter Tuesday to confirm the news, thanking MLW and Court Bauer for the last four-plus years and that now, “the stars and sky is the direction.”

Debuting in July 2018, Reed wrestled in 40 matches during his run, first winning the Middleweight gold in November 2019. He and Lio Rush battled over the title in early-2021 during the closed taping era and after he lost it to Tajiri in late-2021, his final reign began in early-2022 before it ended with a loss to Shun Skywalker in mid-2022.

Reed’s last match has yet to air as he and Mr. Thomas of the Bomaye Fight Club will take on the Billington Bulldogs on an upcoming edition of Fusion.

Reed is part of The Rascalz along with Zachary Wentz, Trey Miguel and Desmond Xavier. He works regular on the indies in both singles and tag team action.
