After making his debut for the promotion last month, luchador Arez has officially signed with MLW.

It was announced today that Arez has signed a multi-year deal with MLW. He’s part of Cesar Duran’s Azteca Underground in MLW. Duran was formerly known as Dario Cueto in Lucha Underground.

Arez was one of the draft picks in the 2021 MLW Open Draft. He debuted for the promotion at last month’s Battle Riot tapings in Philadelphia, taking part in the 40-man Battle Riot match. Arez also faced fellow MLW newcomer Aramis in a singles match at the tapings.

“MLW today announced it has come to terms with luchador Arez on a multi-year agreement. Arez participated in the 2021 Open Draft as a then unrestricted free agent. Having impressed league officials, including matchmaker Cesar Duran, MLW moved quickly to come to terms on a formal agreement,” MLW announced.

“Arez enters the ring wearing Mayan tribal warpaint. A fierce warrior, Arez is a rapid-fire, relentless wild card in the middleweight division.

“The master of ‘strange style,’ Arez is one of the hottest luchadores to cross the border in years.  Employing uncanny unorthodox counters to his aerial adversaries, Arez’s style is akin to a lucha version of Krav Maga, disabling and destroying victims via a vicious art of defense.”
