World Association of Wrestling out of The UK, which is owned by WWE star Paige’s father, Ricky Knight, issued the statement below, noting Alberto El Patron has been stripped of the WAW World Title.
It’s worth noting Alberto El Patron is not mentioned by name in the statement, making it likely this is not part of a story line, and could be connected to the domestic battery incident involving El Patron and Paige, which took place at the Orlando airport last week.
Following the incident, Paige’s family members, including her brother Zak, took to social media and spoke out against El Patron, and even accused him of past domestic violence incidents. As noted, Patron is current indefinitely suspended by GFW:
The WAW Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship has been declared vacant at last night’s Academy Show in Costessey, following a unanimous decision by the WAW Championship Committee. The WAWCC’s decision was announced by Zak Knight but no information was revealed regarding the crowning of a new champion. Since the announcement several individuals have announced their desire to compete for the title. Both European Heavyweight Champion Robin Lekime and British Heavyweight Champion Aaron Sharp have already revealed their desire to add more gold to their repertoire, as well as former World Heavyweight Champion Brad Slayer and former European Heavyweight Champion King Kendo. With four of WAW’s top competitors already eyeing up the most prestigious title will anyone else step forward in the hope of gaining public support?
A 32 man tournament has been announced to determine a new Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion over the course of the rest of 2017 with the final taking place at Epic Studios, Norwich in December. The entrants into this tournament will be deliberated by the WAWCC over the coming weeks before brackets are announced.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
