Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling is set to relaunch this Thursday. The promotion founded by the late Dusty Rhodes returns after 20 years for its relaunch event from the Nightmare Factory in McDonough, Georgia.
While the card is still being determined, TCW has announced two matches to crown their new champions.
The first title match was announced on February 1 by TCW on Twitter. The promotion shared that Angelica Risk will take on Hyena Hera for the inaugural Nightmare Factory Women’s Championship. Both wrestlers have a history with each other and trained at The Nightmare Factory.
The last time they faced each other in singles action, Hera defeated Risk at WrestleMerica The Reckoning on August 13, 2022. Although Hera won, time has passed, and both will have something to prove in their matchup for the title.
After announcing their first title match, the Georgia-based promotion shared on February 4 on Twitter that the Nightmare Faction Championship will also be decided. All Elite Wrestling talent Aaron Solo will face Adrian Ward for the inaugural title at Thursday’s event.
Solo wants to start the year well and make history as the first Nightmare Faction Champion. He had difficulty last year by being on the losing side in most matches in AEW. However, he has a chance to remind fans of his ability in the ring and potentially build momentum in his career for 2024. He faces Ward, who will also be motivated to win gold and a notable win over the AEW star.
Both matches will likely be featured in the event, but the company has announced another interesting match.
QT Marshall Involved In Eight-Man Tag Team Match At TCW Relaunch Event
Longtime wrestling could be in for a treat after TCW announced their latest match added to the card. The promotion recently revealed on Twitter that an eight-man tag team will be on the show, featuring a mix of independent wrestling talent and WCW legends.
In eight-man tag action, QT Marshall will team with Glacier, Scotty Riggs, and Luther Riggs to face Sunny Daze, Owen Knight, Duncan Mitchell, and Adam Priest. Glacier, Riggs, and Biggs have competed in TCW in the past, so they are being billed as the TCW All-Stars. All three haven’t competed in a wrestling ring for some time, which could make for an interesting match for fans in attendance.
The promotion is seemingly still finalizing the card, but they have shared that Ricky Starks and Matt Cardona will appear. Fans looking to attend the relaunching of TCW may need to RSVP soon as the event card continues to take shape.
