Bandido confirmed for PWG Battle of Los Angeles

After making it to the finals of last year’s tournament, Bandido is officially back for this year’s Battle of Los Angeles.

PWG has announced Bandido as the latest entrant for the 2019 Battle of Los Angeles. He’s the seventh wrestler to be announced for the tournament, joining A-Kid, Jonathan Gresham, Artemis Spencer, Darby Allin, Mick Moretti, and Orange Cassidy.

Bandido defeated T-Hawk in the first round, Flamita in the second round, and Joey Janela in the semifinals of last year’s Battle of Los Angeles. He faced Jeff Cobb and Shingo Takagi in a triple threat elimination match in the finals. It came down to Cobb vs. Bandido, with Cobb getting the win. Cobb went on to win the PWG World Championship in October 2018.

Cobb retained his title against Bandido at PWG Two Hundred in March.

Bandido made his ROH debut this January after signing with the promotion.

The Globe Theatre in Los Angeles, California is hosting this year’s Battle of Los Angeles on Thursday, September 19, Friday, September 20, and Sunday, September 22. There will be 24 entrants in total, with the winner getting a future shot at the PWG World title.
