However, specific details regarding which invitees attracted interest and from which companies have not been disclosed, but more information is anticipated in the coming days.

Lastly, despite working several dates and currently co-holding the Tag Team Championships with Donovan Dijak, Josh Bishop is not under contract with MLW at this time.
