Paul Walter Hauser has been named to a new position at Major League Wrestling.

As first reported by Deadline, the Emmy-award winning actor will now serve as an Executive Producer for the promotion. Additionally, MLW has signed a deal with Artists First, the agency that represents Hauser,  for representation in seeking television and streaming distribution deals.

“I’ve been a lifelong fan of professional wrestling, and MLW represents everything I love about the sport— hard-hitting action, compelling characters, and innovative storytelling,” Hauser said. “I’m thrilled to join MLW as an Executive Producer and look forward to working alongside the team to bring fans the best possible experience.”

“Bringing Paul Walter Hauser on board as Executive Producer and teaming up with Artists First marks a major milestone for MLW,” said Court Bauer, MLW Founder and CEO. “Paul’s passion and creative insight, combined with the industry-leading expertise of Artists First, will propel MLW to new heights and expand our presence across multiple platforms.”

Hauser made his pro wrestling debut at a November 2023 REVOLVER show in Los Angeles. He later beat Matt Cardona in an EMMY vs. Slammy Winner Takes All match at a show in Iowa. He wrestled his first MLW match last May and has been a regular for the promotion since. His last match was a fatal four-way for the National Openweight title that saw Matthew Justice retain over Hauser, Bobby Fish, and AKIRA.

Up next for MLW is Battle RIOT VII on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles. Hauser has been announced for the Battle RIOT match on the show.
