Our third official match announcement for BATTLE CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING 66 is the 7th Annual 15-Wrestler BATTLE RUMBLE!
Two combatants will start the match and every sixty seconds a new combatant will enter until all 15 combatants have entered the match. At any time, a combatant can be thrown over the top rope and both feet must touch the floor to mark their elimination until there is only one combatant remaining – who will be declared the 2025 Battle Rumble Winner and go on to have a BCW Heavyweight Championship shot on a later show?
The past has proven that winning this match can be difficult but the pressure of then challenging for the BCW Heavyweight Championship is even greater as the expectation needs to become a reality.
Past Winners Include:
2017: Johnathan Preston
Johnathan went on to challenge BCW Heavyweight Champion Slade Mercer, winning his initial shot via disqualification which led to a rematch where Johnathan fell short, before a final fatal four-way match involving then partner Alan Payne and Lucha Underground’s Mil Muertes (NB: Johnathan Preston went on to become a BCW Tag Team Champion and a BCW Battle Express Champion).
