It looks as if things between Alex Hammerstone and MLW took a turn.
MLW Fightland saw Hammerstone attack Alex Kane and join the World Titan Federation led by MSL and Matt Cardona.
Either Hammerstone and MLW worked things out… or Hammerstone requesting his release was a swerve the whole time.
Fightful (via Fightful Select) reported Alex Hammerstone has requested his release from the company. It was noted that the relationship between Hammerstone and MLW has become frayed recently. Despite Hammerstone wanting his release, MLW didn’t intend to grant the request.
Hammerstone later publicly stated he did ask for his release, explaining that it was the best thing for his career. Strangely enough, Fightful later reported that Hammerstone was set to be involved in the WTF faction and turn heel. However, sources claimed that while Hammerstone was initially open to it, he changed his mind about the angle and asked for his release.
Hammerstone was not booked for several of MLW’s last few events, and he was removed from the MLW roster page.
