Alex Hammerstone is back in Major League Wrestling, at least for the time being. A new report shines some light on the situation.
After previously asking for his release, Alex Hammerstone returned to MLW at MLW Fightland on November 18. He joined the World Titan Federation, and it was noted that he “secured his release” from MLW.
The outcome led fans to assume that Hammerstone’s requested release was a work, given the circumstances. Hammerstone took to Twitter to note that he obtained his MLW release under the condition that he joined WTF for the rest of 2023.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful (via Fightful Select) reports that Hammerstone’s tweet was true. The former champion and MLW reached an agreement that will see Hammerstone work the angle and finish up art the end of the year. The agreement was made days ahead of MLW Fightland. Sapp writes that Hammerstone was kept under wraps throughout MLW Fightland, and he entered the building once the main event started.
Per Sapp, assuming the two sides do not reach another deal, Hammerstone will be a free agent in January 2024. As previously reported, he had been planned for the WTF stable earlier in 2023.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
