Minoru Suzuki to face Jacob Fatu at MLW Slaughterhouse

Minoru Suzuki now has an opponent for his MLW debut.

MLW has confirmed that Suzuki will face Jacob Fatu at the promotion’s Slaughterhouse event in Philadelphia on Saturday, October 14. The show is airing live on Fite+.

A partnership between MLW and NJPW was announced last month. On the most recent episode of MLW Fusion, Fatu responded to the news that Suzuki would be debuting for MLW at Slaughterhouse. Fatu called out Suzuki to face him.

“Last week on Fusion Fatu laid down the challenge, calling out Suzuki — and the ‘King of Pro Wrestling’ was delighted to accept and cautions there will be no mercy as these two fight for the first time ever,” MLW wrote.

Fatu is a former MLW World Heavyweight Champion and a former MLW National Openweight Champion.

The MLW-NJPW partnership began at Fury Road earlier this month. At that show, KUSHIDA made his MLW debut by defeating Tony Deppen.

Slaughterhouse is taking place at Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena. This is the first match that’s been made official for the show.
