Major League Wrestling is being linked with possible signings including Tessa Blanchard and former WWE wrestler Aleister Black, reflecting the promotion’s growing profile. Current openweight champion Austin Aries said the interest suggests MLW is well positioned within professional wrestling and offers a broad range of talent and styles.

Aries highlighted MLW’s roster, including heavyweight, lucha libre, technical, women’s and tag-team wrestling, as well as the Contra faction. He also cited its Saturday distribution through YouTube, Veeps and beIN Sports, Monday availability on New Japan World, and comparatively affordable family live events; Blanchard is currently with CMLL, while Black reportedly remains a free agent.
