Another major name has been announced for MLW’s Opera Cup Tournament.
According to PWInsider, AEW’s latest signee Lee Moriarty has been confirmed for the aforementioned tournament, which is slated for Saturday, October 2 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA.
Bobby Fish, Tom Lawlor, Davey Richards, Calvin Tankman, Matt Cross and TJP have also been announced for the Cup, with only one spot remaining in the tournament.
Lee Moriarty’s addition to the Opera Cup is notable, as he accepted a contract offer from AEW President Tony Khan during an AEW Dark: Elevation taping prior to the September 8 edition of Dynamite. The contract offer came after his match against Daniel Garcia, which aired on AEW Dark: Elevation on Monday.
Major League Wrestling has since issued the following statement, confirming Lee Moriarty’s addition to the Opera Cup tournament:
Major League Wrestling (MLW®) today announced the seventh participant of ’21 Opera Cup, pro wrestling’s oldest tournament dating back over a century, taking place at the upcoming MLW Fightland event live on Saturday, Oct. 2 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia and airing nationally on a later date.
TAIGASTYLE will be on display as Lee Moriarty has entered the ’21 Opera Cup.
Who will Moriarty fight in the opening round? MLW.com expects the office of matchmaker Cesar Duran to begin releasing brackets soon.
But before then, one more participant still remains to be revealed. Who is it? Stay tuned.
