“Filthy” Tom Lawlor has been on a hot streak ever since winning the 2020 Opera Cup. Now, the MMA fighter turned pro wrestler can add another accolade: the New Japan Strong Openweight Championship.
Last night, exclusively on NJPW World, the captain of Team Filthy represented MLW in making history and being crowned the inaugural Strong Champ.
When asked what’s next, Lawlor was not at a loss for words: “Tapping out Marshall Von Erich this Wednesday!”
Tune in to FUSION this Wednesday at 7pm ET on MLW’s YouTube Channel as Lawlor battles Marshall Von Erich 1-on-1 for the first time ever!
