Fresh off his guest-starring turn on the July 4 SmackDown LIVE, Wale is jumping back into the wrestling world.
The long-time fan has worked with former WWE writer, independent promoter and podcast impresario Court Bauer on his WrestleMania week WaleMania event for years now, and he’s once again teaming with Bauer’s MLW to produce a show in Orlando on Oct. 5.
They’ve also roped in another former WWE Creative team member, Hollywood screenwriter (and Cagesider) Alex Greenfield to put on the show, which will be designed to showcase some of the hottest talent on the independent circuit today - and if WaleMania is any indication, be a hell of a party.
We’ll have more on MLW: One Shot as Wale, Court and Greeny make announcements closer to the date of the show. In the meantime, here’s the press release with ticket and venue information...
