Tajiri To Defend MLW Middleweight Title In A Triple Threat At Blood & Thunder

Major League Wrestling issued the following press release announcing that Tajiri will defend his MLW Middleweight championship in a triple threat against Myron Reed and a mystery opponent at the January 21st Blood & Thunder event from the Gilley's in Dallas. Full details, including an updated look at the show card, can be found below.

Major League Wrestling (MLW®) today announced a Mystery World Middleweight 3-way featuring Tajiri (champion) vs. Myron Reed vs. a Mystery Entrant for Friday, January 21 at MLW Blood & Thunder at Gilley's in Dallas, featuring an MLW Fusion TV taping.

The reigning World Middleweight Champion Yoshihiro Tajiri will make his second title defense in Dallas when he grants the "Young GOAT" Myron Reed a rematch... but MLW matchmaker Cesar Duran has added a twist: a Mystery Entrant!

"Who doesn't like a surprise and a debut? I give you TWO for the price of one!" states Duran. "With a title on the line, the stakes couldn't be any higher!"

A Mystery World Middleweight 3-way adds an unpredictable dimension to the title fight, making Reed's quest to become a 3-time champion all the more difficult while the "Japanese Buzzsaw" now must overcome two challengers -- in one match!
