The world of MLW never stops.
As Major League wrestling continues to gear up for its next season, more talent signings have been made. Major League Wrestling has already begun using Willie Mack this season and now, Fightful has learned that Sam Adonis, the younger brother of Corey Graves, has also agreed to terms with the promotion.
MLW issued the following:
Mexico top star Sam Adonis signs with MLW, debuts in Philly 10/30 at FIGHTLAND
Get tickets starting at $15 at MLW2300.com(PHILADELPHIA, PA) – Major League Wrestling today announced the signing of Sam Adonis, who will debut at MLW FIGHTLAND '22 on Sunday, October 30 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.
-- Tickets start at $15 at MLW2300.com and the 2300 Arena box office.
The card is a FUSION TV taping, airing on beIN SPORTS nationwide on cable and dish and in over 60 countries around the world.
A perennial main eventer in CMLL and now AAA, Sam Adonis was once described by a Mexican tabloid as "the most hated man in Mexico." Now he's gone Major League.
Standing 6'4", the Pittsburgh showboat's big mouth and unapologetic attitude have helped launch him into stardom.
Flagrantly breaking the rules in bouts, Adonis can back up his trash talking, unleashing 450 splashes, brainbusters and his signature Orange Blossom Thunder Driver.
Forever hated by Mexican fans for defeating Blue Panther and taking his hair in a high profile Luchas de Apuestas, Adonis thrives on the shock and scandal of his fame and success.
This would prove true with Ultmo Dragon. Adonis spent time at the Toryumon Mexico promotion, where he feuded with Dragon. The feud would would cross continents, with Dragon and Adonis clashing in All Japan, where Adonis would shockingly rip the mask off of the Japanese icon.
Ruthless in and away from the ring, this abrasive heat seeker can switch-up styles from lucha to brawling to whatever it takes to get the win.
Now Mexico's top rudo enters Major League Wrestling ready to ignite a trailblazing path like only the "American Arrogant" can.
See Sam Adonis' MLW debut LIVE Sunday night, October 30 in Philadelphia at MLW FIGHTLAND '22!
Major League Wrestling returns to Philadelphia's 2300 Arena on Sunday, October 30. Buy tickets at http://MLW2300.com.

Adonis made a name for himself in Mexico as one of their top heels, utilizing an uber-patriotic pro-America gimmick, even briefly walking around with the American flag adorned with Donald Trump's face on it, following the 2016 election.
"I waited to see the outcome of the election and I came out with an American flag when I wrestled in Europe for five years and playing the Foreign villain and having a big flag and having a 60,000 seat arena you are going to see his face a lot bigger on a flag than (airbrushed) on my tights. That is kind of the idea of how it came to be and it has been working for the past six or eight months," he said of the gimmick back in 2017.
Fightful has been told that MLW plans on bringing in several new and familiar faces for the upcoming new season.
The new season will continue with the October 22 event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was recently learned that the World Championship will be on the line in a Last Man Standing Match at that event. Learn more here.
