January 6th. The new Style Battle promotion launches tomorrow from Ybor City, FL. It will be an eight man, single elimination tournament. Style Battle will follow the standard rulebook of WWE. However, there will be a 20 count on the floor. There will be a 30 minute time limit in the 1st round, 45 minute time limit in the semi-finals and no time limit in the main event. In the event of a draw, double DQ or double countout, both wrestlers will be eliminated from the tournament. The brackets for this Saturday are:

Bracket A:

Darby Allin vs. Dave Crist

Dezmond Xavier vs. Sammy Guevara

Bracket B:

Fred Yehi vs. Anthony Henry

AR Fox vs. Austin Theory

There will also be a FRAY! that starts with two wrestlers, another enters every minute and eliminations can occur anytime by pinfall, submission or knockout. The winner is the last man standing. This will include non-tournament participants.

January 6th: The rules for the new FIP have also been released. There are none.

January 6th: We need to give a warning that this Sunday’s FIP event will not be suitable for all audiences.

January 6th: Thank you for reading today’s WWN Alerts. We look forward to your feedback for the launch of Style Battle and the new FIP this weekend. It is only because of your support that we are able to bring you these new and improved brands. Thank you!
