Alex Kane Confirms That His MLW Contract Will Expire on June 1

It was previously reported that Alex Kane will be a free agent at the end of the month when his MLW contract officially expires. In an interview with the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast (via Fightful), Kane confirmed the news and listed where he wanted to work when he is exploring free agency. He noted that the door is open for a MLW return. Here are highlights:

On the end of his MLW run: “My (MLW) contract is up on June 1st. So, yeah, not there long-term but I’ve been there for a long time… I’m gonna play the open market a little bit. I really had no choice. The door’s always open, but, ‘We want you to try, you know, make some real money.’ So, that’s what I’ma try to do… I’m looking any and everywhere. I’m getting what they call like a sizzle reel so it’s like promos and — it’s like a highlight reel with promos included or maybe even soundbites included. So I’m getting one of those made. Once that’s complete, I will have something that I can actually send to the other companies and hopefully, somebody’s like, oh, this guy has a lot of promise. Let’s spend some money.”

On where he sees himself in the next few years: “Man, I hope to be in either NXT or AEW. Because I would like to stay in the States. But, if not there, then doing a few tours of Japan. Any one of those options would be cool for me. I think I would thrive in NXT.”

On going to New Japan: “That would be cool (going to NJPW). I don’t have a contact for them just yet. But I was talking (Minoru) Suzuki and (Satoshi) Kojima and they told me to reach out to All Japan so, I’m gonna do that. I have a contact for NOAH so I’m gonna do that as well. But yeah, if I can find a contact for New Japan, I’ll definitely do that.”
