MLW To Do Live Taping Later This Year

Major League Wrestling have solely produced taped content in recent years and the promotion currently has a deal with REELZ in the United States for MLW Underground to air on the network.

MLW are set to change up their taping schedule in 2023, though, and Court Bauer revealed on Busted Open Radio the promotion will go live later this year.

"The number one thing fans have been asking is, 'How can I see MLW live?' That's been one of the things we've been working on since pre-pandemic. It was something we were working on with DAZN, and then DAZN's whole model changed and they went from attacking the US to being more of an international business. Now, we're finally at that point where we're pretty deep in our conversations and I can tell you that MLW is going live this year," Bauer said.

"We're developing a few tentpoles. We have established some such as War Chamber, Battle Riot, or SuperFight. For us, the next step is adding super cards to a lineup where you can watch live worldwide. We've had conversations and have now received bids. We should be announcing something before the summer. Now fans have a chance to not just hear about results and see it a few weeks later on TV. They'll have a weekly TV show, and they'll have this unique window to see MLW and see those fights only there. Wherever there is, we'll be talking about that soon," he continued.

"That's basically what I'm consumed with now, besides putting together this weekly show, is finishing off this deal. We're pumped and being able to get into the mix with MLW live is a huge part of our future."

MLW Underground airs on Tuesday nights at 10 pm ET on REELZ in the United States. The promotion airs programming on Ayozat TV in the United Kingdom.
