Mid-week News Post

Obviously, far and away the biggest news story coming out of AWL 70 is El Rudo Rojo defeating Ma-Ji-Ku to become the NEW AWL Light Heavyweight Champion. Because of this, this weekend's AWL 71 event will focus on the Light Heavyweight Division.

The AWL Commissioner has announced that 8 AWL Light Heavyweights will compete in a Beat The Clock Challenge to determine the first challenger to El Rudo Rojo's title. Those 8 potential contenders are:

1. Ma-Ji-Ku

2. American Beetle

3. El Santo Azul

4. Curry Man

5. Tiger Mask

6. Shin Tora

7. Fire Ant

And, most interestingly, the champ's N.R.E. partner:

8. Bruce Hoyt

Also, in the main event, El Rudo Rojo will have his first match since winning the championship in a non-title bout with the newest CHIKARA refugee: The Great & Devious Ultramantis Black!

Tune in this weekend to AWL 71 and see what happens.
