Davey Richards has signed a new multi-year deal to make Major League Wrestling his home for many years to come.
In May, the MLW 2021 Open Draft saw Richards return to professional wrestling for Major League Wrestling, and he hasn’t looked back since. Securing a new deal with the company signifies that he isn’t planning to retire from professional wrestling anytime soon.
The following is a press release from Major League Wrestling regarding Richards signing a new contract with the company:
Davey Richards has re-upped with Major League Wrestling, inking a multiyear contract extension.
“Davey is one of the top pure wrestlers in the sport and I’m pumped that he’s decided to plant his flag here at MLW for several years with this new deal,” said MLW owner Court Bauer. “(Davey) has upped the standards of the in-ring product and his leadership and pride as a member of the MLW locker room is invaluable. Davey is Mr. MLW and we’re damn proud he’s made MLW his home.”
A decorated wrestler, winning world championships from Japan to America, the “American Wolf” defeated Tom Lawlor, TJPW and Bobby Fish to win the 2021 Opera Cup in November.
Davey Richards will next compete January 21 in Dallas as he fights ACH at MLW Blood & Thunder.
