1PW's Debut Show Loses Matt Hardy, adds AJ Styles, Tommy Dreamer, and D-Lo Brown

1PW has just learned that Matt Hardy will NOT be appearing at our inaugural event to be held on Saturday October 1st at the Dome in Doncaster, England.
Both Matt and his representatives had again assured us as late as ten days ago that he would indeed be appearing and wrestling against ‘The Monster’
Abyss in our main event. Matt personally discussed travel arrangements for the event with 1PW’s Anthony Kingdom James and filmed a pair of short promotional clips for 1PW’s website with our Joe Dombrowski last Friday evening in Pittsburgh, PA.

However, it has since been made clear to us in just the last 72 hours that Matt will NOT be in Doncaster on October 1st. The WWE has told Matt to back out of his agreement with 1PW and, in fact, may have told him to do so as many as three weeks ago.

To our fans, WE APOLOGIZE. The actions of Matt Hardy and the WWE are unfortunate to say the very least, but as the old saying goes… THE SHOW MUST GO ON! 1PW officials have spent the last two days working to not just replace but to IMPROVE our main event and to add even more excitement to the entire show.

With that in mind, it is our pleasure to announce that in our new main event, “THE MONSTER” ABYSS will go one-on-one with the 3-time former NWA World Heavyweight champion, “THE PHENOMENAL ONE” AJ STYLES! That’s right, fans, the former World Tag Team championship partners and now bitter enemies will face off against each other for 1PW. Their battles in NWA-TNA have been brutal. Now they’ll bring the fight to the Dome in Doncaster on Saturday October 1st and try to settle their war on English soil.

In addition to AJ Styles, 1PW is pleased to announce that “The Innovator of Violence” TOMMY DREAMER is set to appear at our first big event. Dreamer promises to add an extra touch of “extreme” to the evening. Will Dreamer get involved in our co-main event match which pits two Hardcore Icons, The SANDMAN and RAVEN, against one another in a “Raven’s Rules”
no-disqualification street fight?

And in our final announcement of the day, we are very pleased to tell you that former Intercontinental and NWA World Tag Team champion, D-LO BROWN has signed on with 1PW. Yes, fans, you can “Get Down With The Brown” when D-Lo appears in Doncaster to face off against rising American independent sensation STERLING JAMES KEENAN.

1PW’s inaugural event will proceed as scheduled with a our main event of AJ Styles vs. Abyss, our newly added performer D-Lo Brown and our newly added guest Tommy Dreamer and even more to come. We have also decided on a slight change to the name of the show and hope to see each and every one of you at the Dome in Doncaster, England on Saturday October 1st when 1PW deals with “A CRUEL TWIST OF FATE".

Scheduled to appear:
Main Event - AJ Styles vs. Abyss
Raven’s Rules street fight - Sandman vs. Raven
AWA World Title match - Steve Corino vs. Al Snow
International Tag Challenge - Britain’s Jonny Storm and Jody Fleisch vs. America’s Low-Ki and Chris Sabin
