In what I promise is the last MLW scoop of the evening, Court Bauer confirmed to me that MLW is hoping that they can eventually get Fusion on Thursday nights on primetime. Many suspected that MLW was trying to "ride the wave" of NXT and AEW by moving from Saturdays to Wednesdays, but as it turns out they just wanted weeknights in prime time. Bauer said he's seen increased engagement regarding the move, but hopes to eventually be on Thursdays.
He also didn't actually set out for Kings of Colosseum to be in such a crowded week with big Raw, NXT, AEW and NJPW shows. He says that when he started planning KOC in September, he only knew of Wrestle Kingdom being planned as a tentpole show.
