As MLW’s insider, expect Veda to ask the tough questions and give viewers an all access pass behind the scenes and ringside.
“I’ve had the privilege of knowing Veda since their time in Ring of Honor and we’re delighted to have Veda be a part of MLW’s broadcasts starting at FIGHTLAND,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer. “Veda is one of the few in their position that’s been there and done it all around the world from being a multi-time champion to breaking barriers as a member of the New Japan broadcast team. We’re delighted to welcome Veda as an insider on MLW programming.”
This news bit has since been deleted off their website and social media.
One week later on 11/15, Veda took took to her social media Twitter to provide an update, noting that she would NOT be appearing for Major League Wrestling on 11/18 as previously announced.
What happened between the two sides is unclear, but Fightful Select has an update on the situation as of now, stating that:
We’re told that as of now, Veda Scott will not be coming in to MLW as planned, and had not officially signed with the company.
Fightful Select also provided an update on a new MLW talent who’s been getting great hype lately.
We’re told that indie standout Joshua Bishop hasn’t signed full-time with MLW, though a deal was offered. He preferred to work per date for the time being.
Bishop is currently affiliated with Mister Saint Laurent and the World Titan Federation (WTF), headed up by Matt Cardona and Alexander Hammerstone. Joshua Bishop has a very bright future and some great mentors to learn from.
