Josef Samael

A one-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion and Zero1 World Heavyweight Champion, Josef Samael is a decorated 20-year veteran who has left a trail of destruction across Japan, Puerto Rico, Australia, Europe, and the United States. When Josef Samael wrestles, the result is pure chaos, employing a savage, barbaric fighting style fueled by violence and intimidation.

The man who first stormed MLW with CONTRA Unit in 2019, vanished underground in 2021, and secretly directed months of psychological warfare from the shadows, Josef Samael has returned and CONTRA Unit has never looked stronger. Samael had quietly rejoined MLW last fall in a behind-the-scenes role as Head of Talent Relations before stepping back into the spotlight.
