MLW News: Middleweight Title Triple Threat Announced For Fusion Tapings In NYC
The lineup for Major League Wrestling’s return to Queens, New York next Thursday for its next set of Fusion television tapings continues to round out as we’re now just over a week away.
On top of Low Ki defending the MLW World Title, a Spin The Wheel Make The Deal match and more, today MLW announced that Jimmy Yuta and Jason Cade will challenge MJF for the Middleweight Championship in a Triple Threat Elimination match:
MJF to defend World Middleweight Championship in triple threat elimination match in New York City versus Jason Cade and Jimmy Yuta
NEW YORK – With Jimmy Yuta and Jason Cade neck and neck in the middleweight division rankings, league officials have granted both men a title shot against World Middleweight Champion Maxwell J. Friedman (with Aria Blake) next Thursday. MJF will defend the World Middleweight Championship in a triple threat elimination style title bout at MLW FURY ROAD: an MLW Fusion TV taping. Tickets start at just $20 at www.MLWtickets.com.
MJF, who won the championship this summer in the same venue, will face an unusual challenge in two estranged former tag team partners who are in the midst of their own feud within the middleweight division.
Yuta and Cade, formally known as Team TBD, have been entrenched in a bitter feud since losing in the World Tag Team Championship finals this past June. Now, they find themselves in the pursuit of gold where teaming up against the defending champion could prove to have its advantages in the match… but will the two be blinded by their anger towards the other?
MJF and his new flame Aria Blake look to exploit the chaos of the feuding Yuta and Cade as he looks to defeat two dynamic middleweights. How will Aria factor into the match? The match being elimination style adds another wrinkle. One thing is for sure: this World Middleweight Championship Title Fight guarantees to be an unpredictable encounter.
See MJF defend the World Middleweight Championship against Jimmy Yuta and Jason Cade LIVE next Thursday October 4th in New York City!
Tickets start at $20 for this MLW FUSION taping. [Buy tickets]

TNA Impact on AMC Drops to 175,000 Viewers, 0.03 18-49 Rating Amid Heavy Sports Competition
TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 175,000 viewers on AMC last week, a 17.5% decline from the previous week’s 212,000 and the lowest audience since January 22. The show posted a 0.03 rating in the key 18-49 demo, down 25% and matching its lowest demo figure on AMC since the move.
The drop coincided with stiff competition — Impact ran opposite the NFL Draft (simulcast on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network) as well as NHL and NBA playoff coverage, leaving the program tied for 70th on the primetime cable charts. Versus the prior 10-week average (0.04 rating and 240,300 viewers), last week’s show fell 25% in the demo and 27.2% in overall viewers.

Nick Hogan Open to Pursuing In-Ring Career After Viewing Hulk Hogan: Real American
Nick Hogan told the Bonus Edition of the 83 Weeks podcast that after watching the final version of Hulk Hogan: Real American he’s more open than ever to stepping into the ring if the opportunity presents itself. Hogan said he’s been knocking off ring rust, is in good shape and “would absolutely welcome” the chance to pursue an in‑ring career, and noted the docuseries — which premiered on Netflix on April 22, 2026 — helped clarify his father’s legacy.
He also praised the series for pulling back the curtain on the many facets of Hulk Hogan, from character work to charitable efforts, saying it showed how dynamic a person his father is. Nick added that the long-discussed Chris Hemsworth biopic from 2019 remains a possibility despite delays, as the documentary continues to renew interest in Hogan’s story.
