OTT’s ScrapperMania 7 has been dealt another blow. 

The Irish promotion announced on Friday that Eddie Kingston has tested positive for COVID-19 and has been pulled from the event. 

Kingston had been scheduled to face Man Like DeReiss in Wolverhampton on Friday’s show and Big Damo on Saturday’s card from Dublin. DeReiss will now face Gabriel Kidd on Friday and Big Damo vs. Davey Richards has been added to the lineup for Saturday. 

Kingston was to serve as a replacement for Jon Moxley on the show. OTT announced Moxley for ScrapperMania 7 back in January but AEW ended up pulling him so he could perform on a house show in Troy, Ohio this weekend. AEW then announced they would be sending Eddie Kingston and one other replacement to Ireland for the shows as a make-good for pulling Moxley. 

Updated lineup for ScrapperMania 7 night one from Wolverhampton —

  • Millie McKenzie, Lee Hunter & Omari vs. Session Moth Martina, Danny Cross, LJ Cleary w/ Santino Marella as referee
  • Kid Lykos vs. Robbie X
  • Man Like DeReiss vs. Gabriel Kidd
  • OTT Tag Team Champions The Draw (Charlie Sterling & Adam Maxted) defend against Michael Oku & Leon Slater
  • NLW Nationwide Champion Sammy D defends against Trent Seven
  • PAC vs. Big Damo

 Updated lineup for ScrapperMania 7 night two from Dublin —

  • Santino Marella & The Sem vs. Renzo Rose & Iljia Zarkov
  • Davey Richards vs. Big Damo
  • OTT Gender Neutral Champion Danny Cross vs. LJ Cleary
  • OTT Women’s Champion Debbie Keitel defends against Session Moth Martina

A four-way match with Davey Richards, PAC, Robbie X, and Leon Slater was also scheduled for Saturday but Richards will now replace Eddie Kingston as Big Damo’s opponent.
