The latest MLW names for May 1

The announcement adds a mix of established names and recent arrivals to the crossover card in Arena Mexico. KUSHIDA's inclusion stands out in particular after last year's MLW vs. CMLL event was headlined by Mistico against KUSHIDA.

The two promotions are also scheduled to meet again for Fantasticamania on April 12 in Charleston, South Carolina. Lady Frost has already been part of the conversation around this relationship, especially after targeting Shotzi Blackheart ahead of her MLW debut.

What Shotzi and KUSHIDA add to MLW vs. CMLL

Shotzi and KUSHIDA give the May 1 show added recognition even before CMLL's side of the card is announced, which raises the profile of the event beyond a standard talent exchange.

Bishop Dyer, Donovan Dijak and Lady Frost also make this look like a card built around recognizable names rather than a placeholder lineup, so the eventual match announcements should carry more weight once the pairings are confirmed.
