Originally, the first event was set to take place in the UAE, but due to the sad &amp; untimely passing of Sheikh Khalifa, we decided out of respect to change the\u00a0 event to Nottingham.<\/p>\n<p>It was a huge undertaking to move the event to a completely different continent on three weeks\u2019 notice. Unfortunately, with the Queen\u2019s jubilee celebrations and the impact that is having on the events sector in the UK, and with just three weeks to prepare, it proved to be an impossible task. \u201cI want to apologize to the fans for any inconvenience caused. We will make it up to you all on July 9th with an incredible show! Also, a big thank you to everyone who has supported WES so far. Since<br \/>\nour launch, the response from fans, media, and fellow wrestlers has been really moving. Thank you! \u201cSee you all on July 9th !\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>WES will honor any tickets purchased for the June 4 event on July 11. Tickets can be refunded as well. The card is headlined by Adam Scherr (Braun Strowman) vs. Alistair Overeem.<\/p>\n<p>Check out an interview with WES stars, Legion of Pain (formerly Authors of Pain) on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KIY4HitT_HQ&amp;t=34s\">PWTorch YouTube Channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/05\/31\/nwa-announces-partnership-with-veterans-success-center-at-university-of-tennessee\/\">NWA announces partnership with Veterans Success Center at University of Tennessee<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3351502948\"><div id=\"pwtor-600892428\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The first-ever WES event in the UK has been postponed.
