Revolution Pro Wrestling (Rev Pro) recently announced a set of television tapings to take place at York Hall, Bethnal Green in London, – an announcement that, like an RKO, took a lot of Britwres fans by surprise.

Today, they sent out a teasing Tweet to their fanbase that read, “Lots of stuff to announce. Shall we get started?”

It wasn’t long after this initial tease that the account would proceed to give us the first two matches announced for their two day take over on September 5th and 6th.

The first of these was revealed to be Kushida going up against Suzuki-Gun’s Zack Sabre Jr.

Sabre Jr. is coming off the back of a successful G1 Climax 28, which saw him pick up notable victories over NJPW stalwarts such as Tomohiro Ishii and Tetsuyo Naito, ending the tournament with 12 points to his name.

The matchup of different weight classes, with Kushida still wrestling as a Junior Heavyweight, could have interesting implications, given Rev Pro’s connection with NJPW. The two have faced off before – in RPW, no less – so it will be interesting to see how they’ve developed and what kind of match unfolds as the two styles clash.

The second match announced shortly after Kushida vs Sabre Jr., was Tipton’s own Chris Brookes versus the living legend, Jushin Liger.

The man from Tipton has accrued himself a large following over the years, honing his craft, as well as his Twitter game, and will undoubtedly be going to pull out all the stops against the living legend, Jushin “Thunder” Liger.

Rev Pro claims that they will be making “history” with these tapings, and they’re already shaping up to be an undeniably entertaining couple of days as they continue to lean into their positive relationship with New Japan.

Tickets are on sale now, priced at £15.
