After failing to win the MLW World championship from Tom Lawlor at Rise of the Renegades, Jimmy Havoc has his eyes set on a new prize; the MLW World Middleweight title. Major League Wrestling has confirmed that Havoc will face off against reigning champion Teddy Hart for the MLW World Middleweight championship for the first time ever on June 1st.
Hart has held reign over the middleweight division since December after MJF was forced to vacate the belt due to injury. Hart's technical and often high flying style in the ring will clash against Havoc’s violent and hardcore style for the first time ever at MLW: Fury Road 2019 at the Waukesha County Expo Center in Waukesha, WI on Saturday night June 1st.
Here’s the updated match-card for the FURY ROAD Tapings:
