Willow Nightingale, Mike Bailey added to CannonballFest benefit show
Two more AEW wrestlers have been announced for the CannonballFest benefit show.
CannonballFest promoter Joey Janela revealed Tuesday that AEW talent Willow Nightingale and “Speedball” Mike Bailey will be making appearances at the event on Sunday, September 14 in New Jersey.
Janela is putting on the show to benefit independent wrestler Jeff Cannonball, 38, as he battles ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).
Nightingale and Bailey are two of three AEW wrestlers now confirmed for the event. MJF was announced for the show earlier this week with a storyline blurb stating that he will be the only talent paid at the event and at double his usual booking rate.
CannonballFest will take place on Sunday, September 14 in New Providence, New Jersey. Tickets for the show are not on sale yet. Janela says that the show will stream on YouTube.
All proceeds from CannonballFest will go directly to Cannonball and his family. A GoFundMe has also been set up for Cannonball, with former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban among the top donators.
