Raven is back in Major League Wrestling.
In recent weeks, mystery men have attacked members of the MLW roster and left calling cards as their signature. It had been unclear who these individuals represented, beyond a vague "A.O." name. On the February 28 episode, the group attacked Microman, and fans would only have to wait until the following week for more information.
In a video on the March 7 episode, ECW legend Raven revealed that he was behind the attacks, as he explained that he was a martyr for the people who have been left behind, heb is their savior, and they can trust him. Raven teased that the faction is dangerous, and the members believe in the cause. Two of the members were then revealed as Rickey Shane Page and AKIRA; they both said they trust in Raven.

Page and AKIRA were not named on the show, but MLW commentator Joe Dombrowski identified them in a tweet. Both stars have signed with MLW in recent months; they are decorated competitors on the independent scene who have competed for a number of promotions, including GCW and Beyond Wrestling.
Raven's group already has an apparent adversary lined up; on the March 7 episode of MLW Underground, Mance Warner called out any one of the attackers to face him the following week, and the match was confirmed.
