MLW Responds To ROH Signing Rush; Announces Pentagon Jr vs. LA Park As New Main Event For April

MLW was forced to change the main event of their card for WrestleMania weekend with the news that Rush has signed with ROH.

MLW had announced that Rush would be taking on LA Park at their Apr. 4 event in New York. However, news broke earlier today that Rush would be signing an exclusive deal with ROH

“This is a match and organization Rush wanted to be a part of but sometimes politics get in the way and that’s what this comes down to: politics,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer.

As a result of Rush heading to ROH, MLW announced that LA Park will meet Pentagon Jr on Apr. 4 at MLW: Rise of the Renegades.

MLW matchmakers moved quickly to reshape the April 4th card with a big bout for a global stage. That bout will be a rematch of an encounter voted on by fans as the match of the year for the promotion: Pentagón Jr. vs. LA Park.

Two eras of greatness in lucha libre will collide as the face of death – the legendary hall of famer LA Park clashes against the man without fear Pentagón Jr in the sequel to one of MLW’s most wild brawls ever.

Pentagón Jr. vs. LA Park II will now serve as one of two main events for the April 4th card at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, NY.

Pentagon Jr previously faced LA Park at MLW War Games in a Mexican Massacre Match.
