ROH issued the following:
Coming hot off the heels of the sold-out War of the Worlds 2017 Tour in North America, ROH is thrilled to announce, in conjunction with NJPW, CMLL and Revolution Pro Wrestling, the first-ever War of the Worlds UK Tour from August 18th, 2017 – August 20th, 2017! With stronger-than-ever partnerships, stars from the top professional wrestling organizations in the world will do battle over the course of three nights!
The tour comes in overwhelming response to not only the resoundingly successful ROH Reach for the Sky UK Tour, but also to the rapid sellouts of Ring of Honor, New Japan, CMLL, and Rev Pro events around the globe. The match possibilities are endless, dream teams could be formed, and various championships WILL be contested!
Officials from all four companies have been meeting throughout the early parts of the summer creating and signing matches the fans want to see. And in Edinburgh, Kenny King looks to continue his hot streak in a first-time bout against a RevPro star!
NON-TITLE
KENNY KING vs. BRITISH CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION JOSH BODOM
Kenny King is on the roll of a lifetime. Fresh off of TV’s The Bachelorette where he became America’s Favorite Father, King has been rejuvenated in the ring, picking up the most eliminations in Gateway to Gold before winning a Four Corner Survival Match to earn a World TV Title shot. Despite his elimination from The Bachelorette and the forced disbandment of The Rebellion, King has prioritized wrestling and his family and the bet on himself has paid major dividends.
Standing across the ring from King in Edinburgh will be a man who has been no stranger to big wins in 2017, himself, British Cruiserweight Champion Josh Bodom! Bodom won the title by defeating former ROH World TV Champion Will Ospreay back in April and in the last 365 days alone he has defeated stars like David Starr, Ashley Dunn, and Ryan Smile!
The stars of ROH, NJPW, CMLL, and REV PRO will do battle for three nights on the War of the Worlds UK Tour with a special Rev Pro Kick off event Thursday August 17! Don’t miss these once in a life-timeevents when the four best professional wrestling organizations in the world unite on the War of the Worlds UK Tour!
