– Learn about Pro Wrestling EVE’s upcoming event via the press release below:
Two days before he headlines AEW All In at Wembley Stadium, Will Ospreay’s passion project Pro-Wrestling: EVE comes to Pay-Per-View on MyAEW for the very first time.
Tomorrow, Friday 28 August, EVE presents EVE 153: EVE x The World 2, live from London at 7:30pm UK / 2:30pm ET (USA), bringing together EVE, AEW and international talent for one of the promotion’s biggest events of the year.
At the top of the card is a genuine first-time-ever international superfight:
EVE International Championship
Miyu Yamashita (c) vs Kay Lee Ray
The EVE International Championship has quickly developed a reputation as EVE’s superfight title, bringing together some of the world’s very best wrestlers for matches rarely, if ever, seen elsewhere.
Tomorrow that tradition continues with Miyu Yamashita vs Kay Lee Ray for the first time ever.
The ace of TJPW and the most dominant EVE Champion in history, Miyu Yamashita, defends against fellow former EVE Champion Kay Lee Ray, who has once again made EVE her home since leaving WWE earlier this year, earning her number one contendership through victories over Molly Spartan, Chantal Jordan and RHIO.
The EVE Championship carries a major story of its own tomorrow night, as Session Moth Martina continues her Open Title Defence series.
Martina has pledged to give championship opportunities to wrestlers who have never previously challenged for the EVE Championship. Tomorrow that philosophy may come back to haunt her, with a particularly Elite challenger waiting for the opportunity to answer the call.
AEW referee Aubrey Edwards will be in London as Special Guest Referee for EVE x The World 2, officiating as stars from EVE, AEW and across the international wrestling scene collide.
And not everything has been announced in advance.
Fans can expect Skye Blue, Marina Shafir and more tomorrow night, while EVE is keeping several surprises under wraps β including a reigning champion from another promotion set to appear at EVE x The World 2.
For those unable to attend in London, EVE x The World 2 will be available LIVE from 7:30pm UK / 2:30pm ET (USA), and on demand worldwide, through two viewing options:
MyAEW β One-Off PPV
