IPW:UK announced a few weeks ago that Combat Zone Wrestling star Drake Younger would be appearing for them on September 27th at their '9th Anniversary Show' but didn't reveal who Younger would be facing.

Speaking of international wrestling stars, Southside Wrestling confirmed this week that Kevin Steen would be facing 'The Heavyweight House of Pain' Stixx at their 'Supershow' on November 17th. Futureshock Wrestling also made three announcements regarding matches in the Trophy Tournament which will take place on October 6th at their show, '70'. We will see Don Meacho vs Simon Valour, Xander Cooper vs Josh Bodom & Joe Vega vs Ryan Bodom all compete in First Round matches.

As always it wouldn't be a Weekly UK Wrap Up with at least one mention on Insane Championship Wrestling and this week it is regarding a championship change. At ICW's September 7th show, 'There's Something About Mary(Hill)', Mark Coffey defeated Mikey Whiplash for the Zero-G Championship, a championship that Whiplash had only won on August 25th at 'Dave's Not Here, Man!'.

Next week looks promising again with shows from Pro Wrestling Elite, Kamikaze Pro & Alternative Wrestling World taking place. There will also be news regarding a former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion making his worldwide wrestling debut in the UK next year.

Wrestle Ropes Weekly UK Wrap Up (31/08 - 06/09)

This is the first Wrestle Ropes Weekly UK Wrap Up and as lucky would have it, it was a week without any huge announcements or events in UK wrestling, a rarity these days. That being said, there were a few newsworthy items during the week.

The first and only title change of the week occurred at Scottish Wrestling Entertainment’s ‘Uprising – The Hell For Lycra Hangover!’ when Jason Costello cashed-in his Future Division Championship opportunity against Martyn Stallyon after fellow Syndicate member, Chaz Phoenix attacked Stallyon after his scheduled match with Kevin Williams.  Speaking of Scottish Wrestling Entertainment, General Manager Braveheart told the crowd in attendance that Ted DiBiase Jr could be coming to the promotion in the near future for the first time. The General Manager didn't give any indication as to when this would be but it will probably not be before early 2014.
