Featuring the grandest luchadores of Mexico clashing with Major League Wrestling’s best of the best, MLW matchmaker Cesar Duran presides over the action from sold out arenas in Mexico to underground fight clubs.

“MLW AZTECA is the next chapter in our on-going anthology series, and it will take MLW, its wrestlers and our fans to a very different and thrilling setting,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer.

Tune in to watch MLW AZTECA:

The series finale of MLW Fusion: ALPHA will air on Wednesday December 15th, concluding the 13-part mini-series, which premiered earlier this fall.

While it’s not a direct continuation, this new series is more of a spiritual successor as it will draw inspiration from the former promotion Lucha Underground. With Major League Wrestling already employing a number of performers from Lucha Underground, it makes sense to capitalize on the popularity if they’re able to.
