Jonathan Gresham off PWG Battle of Los Angeles due to COVID-19
COVID-19 has forced one of the competitors for this year’s PWG Battle of Los Angeles out of the tournament.
Jonathan Gresham has announced that he won’t be able to compete in the Battle of Los Angeles this weekend due to testing positive for COVID-19. Testing positive for COVID also prevented Gresham from wrestling at Game Changer Wrestling’s The Wrld on GCW show this past Sunday.
“Unfortunately, I will not be making it to LA tomorrow for BOLA. I recently caught covid, and as a result, I had to miss GCW at the Hammerstein Ballroom,” Gresham tweeted. “I am still testing positive as of today and don’t want to put any colleagues/fans in harms way.”
Gresham was scheduled to face Davey Richards in the first round of the Battle of Los Angeles. A new opponent for Richards has yet to be announced.
The 2022 Battle of Los Angeles is a two-night tournament that’s taking place this Saturday and Sunday. The first round matchups are listed below:
- Bandido vs. “Speedball” Mike Bailey
- Jonah vs. Buddy Matthews
- Davey Richards vs. an opponent to be announced
- JD Drake vs. Black Taurus
- Lee Moriarty vs. Alex Shelley
- Jack Cartwheel vs. Lio Rush
- Kevin Blackwood vs. Daniel Garcia
- Aramis vs. Rey Horus
