People living in Swansea can look forward to being able to see some top stars from the world of professional wrestling on their very own doorstep in November, as the city's Patti Pavilion gets set to host two big events featuring current stars from the industry. Whilst all eyes are on Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Saturday, September 3 as WWE brings Clash At The Castle - its first major stadium event to be held in the United Kingdom in more than 30 years, since SummerSlam ’92 at London’s Wembley Stadium, it isn't the only chance you'll have to see WWE stars in Wales this year.
That's because in Swansea, some of the top stars from WWE's NXT UK brand will be performing in a special show called Oblivion At The Pavilion . As the name suggests, it will be held at the Patti Pavilion and hosted by IBA events, in association with Defend Indy Wrestling on Sunday, November 27 . The show will feature five signed WWE UK stars including Mark Andrews, who also once competed under the name Mandrews for American company TNA and helped organise the event. Fans can also look forward to seeing Wild Boar, from Blaina, a homecoming for Swansea-born wrestler Eddie Dennis, Amir Jordan and T-Bone.
The rest of the show will be made up of some of the best UK talents that the independent scene can offer, including Nico Angela. From Neath, he performs around the UK circuit and is considered one to watch, thanks to his energetic, risk taking and high-flying style. In 2017, WWE announced a UK Championship tournament and it was held to crown a first ever UK champion. WWE has since launched a fully branded UK show called NXT UK, which can be viewed worldwide on the WWE Network, an on demand streaming platform.
