According to PWInsider.com, MLW star Mister Saint Laurent (MSL), also known as Jared Saint Laurent, has left the company, both as an on-screen manager and in a behind-the-scenes role, due to various changes being implemented by MLW.
The report also mentioned several other backstage changes within the organization. Josef Samuel, the founder of the CONTRA Unit, has returned in a backstage capacity and will now serve as the head of Talent Relations. Additionally, Rick Bocchini has also rejoined the company and will work in Talent Relations, reporting to Samuel.
Court Bauer continues to oversee the company's creative direction, with Alex Greenfield also playing a significant role in the creative process. Nick Bonanno, who recently returned in a creative capacity, is working as a producer, focusing on managing promos and other pre-recorded segments.
These changes come as MLW is preparing for the return of MLW Fusion this year. The company taped Battle Riot 2026 over the weekend, which is set to air on Thursday on BeIn Sports and the company's official YouTube channel. Laurent had been with MLW since its 2017 revival, where he served as COO and was also part of the World Titan Federation stable as a manager.
