Major League Wrestling has announced that Austin Aries and Trevor Lee have each been awarded MLW’s prestigious Best Bout Bonus following their standout match on the season premiere of MLW FUSION.
The bonus was awarded by MLW CEO and owner Court Bauer after the two veterans delivered a performance that quickly became one of the most talked-about moments from the two-hour premiere event.
The Best Bout Bonus is a special incentive awarded on select occasions to wrestlers who deliver exceptional performances and memorable matches. While not handed out regularly, it serves as recognition for grapplers who raise the standard inside the ring.
Aries and Lee did exactly that.
The bout showcased two of the sport’s most gifted competitors trading momentum throughout a hard-fought contest that had fans buzzing from start to finish. Combining technical precision, high-risk offense, and relentless intensity, the match embodied the level of competition MLW strives to present every week.
Fans who missed the match can watch it now as part of the two-hour season premiere of MLW FUSION, streaming on demand for free on YouTube and VEEPS.
The premiere also features championship action, major developments across MLW, and the match that earned Aries and Trevor Lee the latest Best Bout Bonuses.
