World Titan Federation (2023)

As part of a worked shoot angle, Hammerstone stated on October 28, 2023 that he had requested his release from MLW. [65] At Fightland, after Alex Kane had successfully defended the MLW World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu, Matt Cardona, Tom Lawlor and other members of World Titan Federation attacked Alex Kane. The lights went down in the arena, which led to Hammerstone making his return to MLW, attacking Fatu, and aligning with World Titan Federation, thus turning heel for the first time since 2020. At MLW Holiday Rush, Hammerstone wrestled Jacob Fatu in a losing effort. After the match, Hammerstone thanked MLW and Court Bauer for giving him an opportunity to wrestle in MLW.
