Richard Holliday On Returning To MLW: The Door Was Open, Why Not Walk Through?

Richard Holliday explains his return to MLW. 

Richard Holliday was a staple of MLW from 2018 to April 2023 when he announced his departure from the company. Holliday was on the sidelines from June 2022 to June 2023 as he fought and defeated Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. 

After making various independent appearances, Holliday return to MLW at MLW One Shot, confronting MLW World Heavyweight Champion Alex Kane and joining the World Titan Federation. 

Speaking to Jeremy Lambert & Joel Pearl on In The Weeds, Holliday discussed his decision to return to MLW. 

“It was well documented that when it was announced that I was done with MLW, that leaving was completely amicable; the door was 100% wide open, so if a door is open, why not walk through it? The timing was right. Everything seemed to make sense. The World Titan Federation needed somebody who could takedown Alex Kane, and I was the perfect person to do it. So, on the 6th of January at Kings of Colosseum, you guys are interviewing the future MLW World Heavyweight Champion. In just a few days, I’ll have that gold around my waist and carry the banner of the WTF along with it,” he stated.

Holliday will have his first match back in MLW at MLW Kings of Colosseum on January 6 when he challenges Alex Kane for the MLW World Heavyweight Title. 

Fightful will have coverage of the event on January 6. Fans can order the event on Triller TV.
