MLW Super Series spoilers: Title change, Hammerstone vs. Bandido
This post was updated at 4 PM Eastern.
The following are spoilers for future episodes of MLW Fusion.
MLW debuted in Norcross, Georgia, Saturday for Super Series, a co-promoted event featuring several AAA wrestlers. The show was also a TV taping for future episodes of MLW Fusion.
Following the show, MLW now has a new Middleweight Champion as the debuting Shun Skywalker defeated Myron Reed to win the title. The company formally announced the news on Monday.
The 26-year-old Skywalker is a member of Dragon Gate and was making both his U.S. and MLW debut.
The win ends Reed’s second run with the title. He had regained it in January at Blood & Thunder with his win in a four-way over then-champion Tajiri, Bandido and Matt Cross.
The show was taped for future episodes of Fusion, but the promotion has been on a summer hiatus with no official date for a return.
The company still has footage from June’s Battle Riot IV that has yet to make air that features a Reed title defense against Arez, Lince Dorado and La Estrella.

- Lady Flammer defeated La Hiedra, Lady Shani and Reina Dorada to earn a shot at Featherweight Champion Taya Valkyrie
