Davey Richards will be part of the roster for MLW's new season. During the start of MLW's inaugural "Open Draft," it was announced that Richards is MLW's newest signee. He'll make his MLW debut when the promotion's new season kicks off with a set of television tapings at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 10. It was said during the start of the Open Draft that Richards actually signed with MLW a few months back. In April, it was announced that Richards would be returning to professional wrestling for the first time since 2017. Richards said the title he's interested in going after in MLW is the MLW World Heavyweight Championship. Richards is a former ROH World Champion. He's also a five-time former Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champion, a three-time former ROH Tag Team Champion, and a two-time former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion.
