Eric Bishoff is slated to appear in the role of GM and an Invitational Rumble Match has been announced for the Thursday 25th show featuring many of the biggest names already booked for the first evening.

Marty Scurll, Will Ospreay and Moose are again the star attractions as RPW:UK arrive at the Portsmouth Guild Hall on Friday 26^th August with the intention of starting off the weekend with a bang for the fans in attendance.

On Saturday 27^th, HXC promotions presents “An Evening with Raven” at the Manchester Ruby Lounge, granting those in attendance the chance to interact with and hear the insider stories of the former ECW, WCW, WWE and TNA superstar in his own inimitable fashion.

In matches announced at the time of writing, the tournament to crown the inaugural Atlas Champion draws ever closer to conclusion, as Joe Coffey faces “The Bastard” Dave Mastiff in the Group A semi-final and in Group B, Rampage Brown takes on T-Bone.
