Major League Wrestling (MLW)<\/strong> CEO Court Bauer<\/strong> revealed on Twitter on Wednesday night that former MLW World Heavyweight Champion “Filthy” Tom Lawlor<\/strong> is no longer with the company and that MLW “wish him continued success with the next chapter of his career.” PWInsider had previously reported<\/a> last week that his contract was expiring and that the two sides were still negotiating, but with Bauer’s tweet it appears as if Lawlor may be testing the free agency market.<\/p>\n

During a suspension from UFC in 2017, Tom Lawlor – who had a 10-7 MMA record – made the transition to pro wrestling, joining MLW for the company’s reboot after a 13-year hiatus that year. As one of the growing faces of the company, he defeated Low Ki<\/strong> for the MLW World Championship this past February and held the title for 154-days before losing to Jacob Fatu<\/strong> at Kings of Colosseum<\/strong><\/em> in July. A former high school and collegiate wrestler with the University of Central Florida, he began his combat career as an indie wrestler in the Florida indie circuit before turning his attention to MMA.<\/p>\n
