The biggest match yet in the young career of Brian Pillman Jr. will take place in 8 days at MLW: Zero Hour in Dallas, Texas. MLW has just announced that Pillman will take on Jacob Fatu for the MLW World Championship at the event.

“Major League Wrestling today announced a World Heavyweight Title Fight: Jacob Fatu vs. Brian Pillman Jr. for MLW: Zero Hour at the NYTEX Sports Centre in the greater Dallas/Ft. Worth area on Saturday, January 11. The event will be a MLW FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS,” an MLW Press Release for the match reads.

Josef Samael from Fatu’s Contra Unit faction recently burned Teddy Hart with a fireball and sent Pillman’s Hart Foundation stablemate right out of the territory. Pillman will be looking for revenge in addition to the title.

MLW matchmakers stated that Pillman has earned the shot at the title due to his strong performance at the recent Opera Cup event.
