Despite not having any shows planned for the foreseeable future, Major League Wrestling is still getting things in shape for the future as Jacob Fatu has signed a four-year contract extension.
Fatu had signed a one-year extension in November 2019, but ESPN’s Marc Raimondi first had the news that the current MLW World Champion had inked a new extension that will keep him under Court Bauer’s employ through late-2025.
As is the case in pro wrestling, terms were not disclosed.
It’s expected that like the November extension, MLW will retain control over Fatu’s independent bookings and how he is used when he works elsewhere. At the time, he and fellow MLW/CONTRA Unit stablemate Josef Samael had been open about looking for 2020 dates on the indie scene.
Fatu has been a pro since 2012 and won the MLW title in early-2019. His father is Sam Fatu, the former Tonga Kid in WWE. He was trained by his uncle Rikishi and his cousins are WWE tag team standouts The Usos.
MLW’s next live date is planned for October 3rd in Dallas, Texas, with a December date in Philadelphia two months afterward.
