MLW Announces New Title – Major League Wrestling has announced a new championship that will be crowned on July 19th.  The belt is a World Middleweight Championship and will be decided between Joey Ryan and Maxwell J. Friedman.  This card also features a huge 40 Man Battle Riot match, as well as IMPACT’s Johnny Impact taking on Low Ki, the revival of the Hart Foundation (Teddy Hart and Davey Boy Jr. with/ Brian Pillman II) vs. Rich Swann and ACH and more to be announced.

Currently, MLW has Shane ‘The Swerve’ Strickland as their World Heavyweight Champion, and brother Pentagon Jr. and Fenix as their World Tag Team champions.

Two Former IMPACT Champs At WWE  Tryout – Former IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champion Robbie E, and IMPACT Knockout Champion Chelsea Green were at a recent WWE tryout.  This was revealed thanks to NXT’s Instagram story.  Robbie E helped anchor the IMPACT tag team division during it’s least loaded time period, feuding with The Wolves and challenging The Von Erichs at Slammiversary.   Green went by Laurel Van Ness, who just recently left the company earlier this year.

Quick Hits – Jerry Lawler revealed that the Greatest Royal Rumble tickets were being sold as low as $2 for the Saudi Arabian market.  This was due in part to the government being the ones who financed the show, and the desire to make a profit was not there.  Former WWE and IMPACT wrestler Gene Snitsky has announced that he’ll be retiring later this year after he finishes up his remaining shows.  He’ll be focusing on his body building and home life from here on out.
