Austin Aries to debut for MLW at “Road to the World Championship” event

By Jason Powell, Prowrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

The following press release was issued by Major League Wrestling to Prowrestling.net on Thursday to announce the debut of Austin Aries at the February 8 event.

Austin Aries will make his Major League Wrestling debut next Thursday in Orlando when he competes against another newcomer ACH at MLW: Road to the World Championship at Gilt Nightclub on February 8th.

One of the top free agents in the sport, Austin Aries has been making an instant impact wherever he has turned up since becoming a free agent late last fall. A belt hunter, recently winning championships all over the world, Aries looks to continue the trend in MLW. But first, he must get past the Austin, TX standout ACH.

“Styles makes fights and these two share a lot of similar qualities but also some unique advantages over the other. This is a match that will shake-up the MLW top 10 rankings,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer.
