“Davey isn’t just a world class workhorse, he’s a beast, one that’s going to instantly change the dimension of the in-ring product in MLW,” said MLW CEO & Founder Court Bauer. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for Davey, he’s been one of my favorites to watch for over a decade and I’m happy to welcome him to our newly expanded roster.”

  • Gino Medina

Live coverage of the 2021 Open Draft continues as Alicia Atout hosts round 2 next Thursday at 7 p.m. ET at: http://www.youtube.com/majorleaguewrestling.

Powell’s POV: Richards left pro wrestling in 2017 and announced his retirement in 2020 due to knee injuries. He is a good get for MLW if he is healthy and committed. Meanwhile, Mil Muertes appears to have changed his name to King Muertes.
