During last night's MLW Fusion, Lio Rush delivered a message to Laredo Kid in a video segment. Rush downplayed that he knows about Laredo Kid, but he mentioned that he's interested in a match between the two. Rush ended the video by saying, "Let's make you famous, Kid."

Next week, two champions will enter MLW Fusion, but only one will walk away with the gold. For MLW, this type of buzzworthy match has never happened before. In a press release from Major League Wrestling, MLW's CEO Court Bauer shared his thoughts.

"When we started hyping #TheRestart, we promised dream matches and interpromotional title fights and this Wednesday we make good on a big one."
