World Association of Wrestling (WAW) has announced that WWE Superstar Paige will be appearing at their Fightmare event in June.
WAW is owned by Paige’s family, the Knights. This will be the former Champion’s first official appearance for the company since she joined the WWE a number of years ago.
The Knight family are currently celebrating the release of ‘Fighting With My Family.’ The film is based on Paige’s journey to WWE and her rise to RAW and the Diva’s Championship. The film has garnered critical praise and was produced by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
WAW also announced earlier this year that former Premier League football (soccer) player Grant Holt would be swapping his studded boots for wrestling boots and entering the squared circle for Fightmare in June. Holt made his singles debut against Brad O’Brien on 22nd December.
The 37 year old who previously played for the likes of Aston Villa and Norwich. Holt recently finished his career professionally for National League side Barrow. The former football star will be headlining the huge stadium show for WAW at Norwich City’s Carrow Road on June 2nd.
Holt recently spoke to the BBC regarding the upcoming show. Holt said that “The club have been fantastic and embraced it from the first moment I walked through the door. They’ve bent over backwards to help us. I’m trying to get people who loved wrestling back in the day back involved in it. I’m hoping everyone comes to enjoy the show and comes to see me in action. Back at Carrow Road in a different capacity.”
