Former WWE Star Makes Debut at MLW One Shot

Former WWE star Babatunde, now known as Babathunder, has officially aligned himself with CONTRA Unit following a high-stakes clash with Mads Krule Krugger at MLW One Shot.

The showdown between the two titans delivered exactly what fans expected—hard-hitting action that ended with Babathunder passing out to Krugger’s devastating rear naked choke. But the real drama unfolded after the match when Krugger presented the towering Babathunder with a chilling ultimatum: “Leave in a body bag or join CONTRA Unit as a mercenary.”

Babathunder’s response was as short as it was decisive. Looking directly at Krugger, he uttered two words that sealed his fate: “Hail CONTRA.” With that, the former WWE star joined the notorious faction, cementing his transformation from solo powerhouse to CONTRA’s latest mercenary.

MLW fans are no strangers to Babathunder’s past. In WWE, he was known as Babatunde during his early run before adopting the name Dabba-Kato as Shane McMahon’s enforcer in the infamous Raw Underground segments. Later, he rebranded as Commander Azeez during his alliance with Apollo Crews, accompanying Crews to the Intercontinental Championship. Babathunder was released from WWE in 2023, but his move to MLW has reignited interest in the towering athlete’s future.

This bold new chapter in Babathunder’s career could have major implications for MLW as CONTRA Unit continues to expand its influence with this latest addition.
