Some PRODUCE news and notes as the promotion heads into its debut this Monday in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
Deonna Purrazzo has been pulled from the show due to the ankle injury suffered at last week's ROH TV taping. A mystery wrestler will replace her Monday.
PRODUCE owner Adam Abdalla stated stated that early pay-per-view sales on MyAEW.com have exceeded internal expectations. For those seeking to purchase a bundle of all six upcoming Produce events, PWInsider.com is happy to offer a special discount code - producePWInsider - for the price of $50, down from the retail price of $90. Monday's debut event, curated by Jonathan Gresham, will feature:

Gresham spoke with FOX News about the event.
Tulsa King actor Vincent Piazza will provide the voice-over narration for the event's cold open.
Nick Gage has been announced as the Commisioner of the promotion with the idea that he, the death match master, will lead security to keep things in order. The promotion's "private security" will include Undefeated Power Slap Competitor Stunt Marshal and 2025 World Sumo Champion Dominus Williams, who I saw demolish an entire tournament's worth of competition earlier this year at a Sumo event at The Westchester County Center in White Plains, NY. Williams will be making his pro wrestling debut for the company at some point.
Musician Jay Sanford has released an album of original music created for PRODUCE:
