Lucha Bros vs. Briscoes match off Warrior Wrestling 25 after AEW/ROH ‘consultation’
A highly-anticipated match between The Briscoes and the Lucha Brothers that was set for next month’s Warrior Wrestling 25 has been disassembled following an intervention from AEW and ROH.
The promotion announced late-Tuesday night that “after consultation from our friends at ROH and AEW, we have agreed to alter our card for Warrior Wrestling 25.”
It was to be the first time ever the two teams had squared off. It came close to happening in March at a House of Glory show, but due to Rey Fenix’s injury at the time, Arez subbed in for him.
Both teams will remain on the October 2nd show in Chicago, Illinois. Penta El Zero Miedo & Fenix will now take on Brian Cage & Gringo Loco while Jay & Mark Briscoe will face The Rascalz (Myron Reed & Zachary Wentz).
As a make-good, Warrior Wrestling announced that AEW is “sending” Eddie Kingston to compete on the show against Calvin Tankmain in addition to appearing at their pre-show meet & greet.
