Jacob Fatu defeated Tom Lawlor to win the MLW World Championship on Saturday’s live episode of Fusion from Chicago. The promotion has recently announced that the former champion plans on cashing in his rematch clause for MLW’s Never Say Never event on July 25th.

Additonally, new MLW champion Jacob Fatu and his faction of Contra Unit have evidently disappeared.

“Meanwhile, Jacob Fatu and CONTRA Unit have reportedly gone abroad. Where are the self-described global dealers in violence? No one knows for sure but with CONTRA supposedly having shadowy connections to the darkest corners of the world, it is only a matter of time before the trio release a statement,”
MLW’s press release for the match reads.

MLW’s Never Say Never event will take place July 25th from New York’s Melrose Ballroom. The confirmed lineup so far for the show is below:

  • MLW World Championship: Jacob Fatu (c) vs “Filthy” Tom Lawlor
  • LA Park vs Jimmy Havoc
  • Davey Boy Smith Jr. vs Timothy Thatcher

The promotion also recently announced fans without cable can see the show live Saturday nights via PlayStation Vue.
