PWG announces two replacements for Battle of Los Angeles

Two replacements have been announced prior to Saturday’s PWG Battle of Los Angeles tournament.

The company announced tonight that both Jonathan Gresham and Davey Richards are out. Wheeler Yuta and Blake Christian have taken their place, and will face each other in the first round.

Gresham had tweeted earlier Friday that he would be unable to compete in the tournament due to COVID-19.

“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 wrote. “I am still testing positive as of today and don’t want to put any colleagues/fans in harms way.”

Other first round matches that will take place on Saturday include Bandido vs. Speedball Mike Bailey, JONAH vs. Buddy Matthews, JD Drake vs. Black Taurus, Lee Moriarty vs. Alex Shelley, Jack Cartwheel vs. Lio Rush, Kevin Blackwood vs. Daniel Garcia, and Aramis vs. Rey Horus.
