MLW and the IWA Puerto Rico have been discussing trading more talent as well as the island holding more title bouts.

The two promotions are also readying for the historic Caribbean Championship to be retired… well, the old Caribbean belt that is.

A new Caribbean Championship has been commissioned and depending on the final touches, could make its debut in Philadelphia at MLW Kings of Colosseum on Friday May 13th (buy tickets).
