Late last week, the final four participants in this year’s Young Lions Cup tournament were revealed!

The Spoiler and Donna Rama are complete unknowns to the world of wrestling. It stands to reason the Spoiler is not the same gentleman who competed in the 80s given the age restrictions of the tournament, so we will all be in for a surprise on January 18th.

The last two names are competitors from Pizza Party Wrestling, who have held events in the Wrestle Factory before. A Long Island native, Vertigo has made a splash in various Northeast promotions where he has been a champion before. We’ll see if the Young Lions Cup joins his mantle as well.

Last but not least is the petri dish born Oswald Project! Oswald’s incredible flexibility and gymnastics, as well as his very unique personality as a petri dish born individual, has brought a lot of attention on him lately. In addition to CHIKARA, Oswald has debuted for GCW and will be debuting for Beyond Wrestling, making January 2020 an incredible month for Oswald. It will be even better if he can win the Young Lions Cup tournament on his debut evening.

Tonight, all opening round matches will be announced!
