Brick Savage has made a swift impact since joining Major League Wrestling, defeating multiple opponents and aligning with the Contra Unit faction.

The 340-pound competitor has positioned himself as a dominant force in the promotion.

Savage made his intentions clear in an interview with OutKick Dropkick, explaining that Contra Unit represents a dangerous group within the locker room.

“Contra is a cast of misfit toys that nobody wants, nobody wants to be around because they’re dangerous people, and that camaraderie that we all have together, each background that they are from, we’re the dangerous people in the locker room that people usually avoid. So, you put those people in a group together and we work well together.”

Savage has placed MLW world heavyweight champion Killer Kross at the top of his list of targets.

He emphasized that bringing the championship to Contra Unit is his primary objective.

“I’d list everybody on the roster – all of them. They’re all on the list,” he said. “The main guy at the top of my list is going to be the heavyweight champion, Killer Kross. There’s other guys along the way that I’m sure I’ll get my hands on, but the main goal, the main prize is to carry the gold and the top honor at MLW, to take the heavyweight championship.”

“That has to belong to Contra at some point.”

Killer Kross has held the MLW world title since winning the Battle Riot match at Battle Riot VIII earlier this year.

Savage stated that he wants fans to experience a genuine sense of danger and fear when he enters the ring, something he believes has been missing from professional wrestling.

“Basically, want them to know and feel how unhinged and how heinous I can be. I think the sense of danger has been lost in wrestling a lot. A lot of it’s good in entertainment and stuff like that, but there hasn’t been a big sense of fear and danger that feels absolutely real,” he explained.

“When I walk out the curtain, I want them to feel that oh s— moment that this is about to get serious and ‘I need to be on my guard, my toes to pay attention about what’s about to happen because who knows, I could be next.’ That’s the feeling I want to introduce to people and what’s coming up. For me, I feel that elevated danger is going to start to rise more and more.”

MLW’s weekly series Fusion will air on Tubi, providing free access to fans on multiple platforms.

Savage expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to reach a wider audience through the streaming service.

“It’s incredible to be honest,” Savage said. “Man, to already be part of the MLW roster and be part of Contra is already amazing, and then getting a Tubi deal to air free on Thursdays is absolutely insane. They’re moving so fast at connecting all these pieces, it’s actually incredible.”

“They’re one of the fastest growing wrestling companies out there. And being on Tubi, right, and just say, ‘Hey, go watch me on Tubi,’ and people being able to pull up the app, pull it up on their TVs, pull it up on their phones, watch it wherever they are is absolutely incredible. So, it’s an insane feeling to be a part of. So happy about that.”
