The tournament will feature multiple well-known wrestlers including names such as Mike Bennett, Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Fred Rosser better known to WWE fans as Darren Young.
Erick Rowan was among the many names released by WWE as part of their coronavirus budget cuts in April this year and this will apparently be his first wrestling appearance since his release.
Though the company has not confirmed the dates for this tournament and we will have to keep an eye on the schedule for this show to know the exact date for his in ring return.
