This weekend SWA is back in Uddingston with NWA Scottish Heavyweight Champion Scott Renwick facing another of Eric Canyon’s challengers, Liam Thomson; Damien O’Conor facing Red Lightning in a British tournament match up and more, including the highly anticipated return of the world-class athlete, Fergal Devitt!

The international phenomenon is scheduled to compete in the NWA British Heavyweight Title tournament, bringing his intense style to the Scottish Wrestling Alliance when we return to Uddingston on May 15th. Devitt will be squaring off against former NWA-UK Junior Heavyweight Champion, former NWA Scottish Heavyweight Champion and former SWA Tag Team Champion, SWA’s bird of prey, Falcon! This promises to be a fast paced, hard hitting and high flying affair that will not be seen anywhere else in Scotland or the UK! Devitt is without a doubt one of the best wrestlers in the world. A 10 year veteran, currently making waves for NJPW in Japan, the Irishman will be pushing Falcon to his very limit in his quest to take British gold.

Having failed in his attempt to weaken NWA Scottish Heavyweight Champion, Scott Renwick in Paisley, Co-Owner Eric Canyon hopes to sponsor another wrestler to take the gold. Canyon’s quest to dominate the SWA by claiming all titles to be his own has proved successful thus far with STI holding Tag Team gold and Red Lightning now holding the Laird of the Ring. In Uddingston May 15th Liam Thomson will be Canyon’s choice to take the title from Scott Renwick. Canyon’s “Chosen One” is without a doubt one of the best wrestlers in the UK today and would be one hell of a match for Renwick WITHOUT Canyon in his corner. The odds are certainly against Renwick, does he have what it takes to once again hold onto his title?

Canyon’s newest stooge, current Laird of the Ring champion Red Lightning, won his title thanks to former senior referee Jam O’Malley. O’Malley was paid off by Canyon at Rebirth in March in order to screw former Champion Damian O’Conor. Unhappy with the outcome, SWA Co-Owner Peter Murphy fired O’Malley from his refereeing duties and offered O’Conor an opportunity at vengence by taking on Red Lightning in a rematch! Eric Canyon has made it explicitly clear that the SWA Laird of the Ring will not be on the line and O’Conor will NOT be getting a rematch, however Peter Murphy decided that O’Conor would instead take on Red Lightning in a NWA British Heavyweight Title first round match! Will Canyon’s trickery guarantee Lightning safe passage or will O’Conor extract his revenge?

In a rematch from the Gathering 3, the SWA Prodigy Nikki Storm, will be taking on one of her biggest rivals, one of the most travelled females in wrestling today, England’s loudest: Jetta! Jetta has had quite the gripe since September 09 because Nikki Storm managed to score in her eyes “the upset” victory, and will be on a mission to make Nikki Storm tap out in Uddingston. Nikki Storm is well known for showing massive heart, continually pushing herself to be the best she possibly can be, but when it comes to Jetta, Storm will have to push herself above and beyond her limits to unseat Jetta as the best female in Britain.
