Two big names have parted ways with MLW, with Lance Anao’i and Juicy Finau announcing they’ve been granted their releases.
Anao’i and Finau teamed as The Samoan SWAT Team in MLW, and both announced on Twitter that they are no longer with Court Bauer’s promotion.
Anao’i tweeted,
“As Of TODAY! I have been granted my @MLW Release! I wanna thank MLW!
Wanna give a big shout out to my USOs @JuicyFinau and @SAMOANWEREWOLF Thank you for everything! Love you guys! #SST”
Finau wrote,
“As of today I’ve been released from @MLW
Just want to thank everyone I’ve crossed paths with while I was there. Extremely thankful to MLW for the opportunities!
Especially wanna thank my brothers @SAMOANWEREWOLF & @lanceanoai
IM NOW A FREE AGENT
TOKO OUT! OFAS”
Lance Anoa’i is a member of the famous Anoa’i Family that comprises Roman Reigns, the members of WWE’s The Bloodline, Jacob Fatu, and others.
Finau is not a member of the Anoa’i Family but is close to them nonetheless.
Anoa’i and Finau held the MLW World Tag Team Titles from January to July of this year.
The duo hasn’t wrestled for MLW since losing the titles to The Calling at Never Say Never 2023.
Anao’i has been a mainstay of Pro Wrestling NOAH since then, while Finau has appeared for Oasis Pro and other promotions.
