Austin Aries returned gold around his waist when he dethroned Blue Panther to capture the Major League Wrestling Openweight Championship<\/a> at the company\u2019s Lucha Apocalypto event, which was co-hosted by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Aries told OutKick in a recent interview that he believes he\u2019s still performing at a high level and the title reign has helped him come to a realization that, yes, taking a shortcut can lead to success.<\/p>\n

“Even at this stage in my career, I still think that I’m performing at a level that very few men can reach,” Aries said. “But I think the one thing that works in my advantage is I’ve proven over my career I’ll do whatever it takes to win. And if that means taking a little shortcut or a little misdirection or a thumb in the eye, so be it, because that’s what I’ve realized.<\/p>\n

“One of the biggest lies that was sold to me as a kid is that is that bad guys never win. Cheaters never win. What a load of crap that was. If you look around the world, most of the people in positions of wealth and power got there by cheating. Got there by taking advantage of somebody. Got there by being dishonest, right? And so, we tell kids like, \u2018Oh, honesty is the best policy and cheaters never win.\u2019 And then you grow up and you realize, \u2018Wait a minute, that’s a lie. It’s actually the opposite.\u2019 Right? If you look around the real world, everyone who’s winning is doing it by taking a shortcut.”<\/p>\n

With the Openweight Championship, Aries wants to set the bar high.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s done that already with a successful defense against Diego Hill. He\u2019s also continued to showcase his talents in CMLL multiple times.<\/p>\n

Saturday night, Aries walks into MLW “Fusion” with another goal \u2013 dispatching M\u00edstico and Averno<\/a> in a three-way match with his title on the line. M\u00edstico called his shot last week and made a one-on-one match between Aries and Averno into the multi-man extravaganza.<\/p>\n

Aries and M\u00edstico have some history as does the Lucha grappler with Averno.<\/p>\n

“It’s interesting. When you get three men in the mix, right, one-on-one, usually the strategy is pretty straightforward,” he told OutKick. “You can’t have a straightforward strategy when you’re in a three-way. And so, the one thing I do know is that M\u00edstico and Averno, there’s no love lost between those two. They’ve got some history with each other.<\/p>\n

“So maybe I can leverage that and I can maybe get Averno to work with me a little bit as opposed to against me. But again, I’ve been saying M\u00edstico has been ducking me. He wanted to put the challenge out there and, put himself in this match. Let’s do it.”<\/p>\n

MLW fans will get to see whether Aries retains his title on “Fusion,”<\/a> which can be seen on YouTube, beIN Sports and Veeps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
