The National Wrestling Alliance is hyping a 6 PM Eastern announcement from President Billy Corgan. As we noted a few weeks ago, with their Ring of Honor relationship ending, the promotion wanted to focus on creating their own weekly series.
Dragon Lee and Pentagon Jr. are the latest names announced for the 2019 Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Battle of Los Angeles tournament in Los Angeles next month.
CHIKARA announced they would be working with the legendary Michinoku Pro Wrestling:
