With the likes of Kanji, Amira Blair, Hollie Barlow and Aluna all in action, here’s everything you need to know about the next Wrestling Resurgence event in Leicester.
WHEN AND WHERE DOES THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS TAKE PLACE?
The event takes place on Saturday, 4th July 2026. The event will be held at The Y Theatre in Leicester. The venue is just a few minutes walk from the main Leicester railway station providing good transport links. There are also car parks nearby.
WHAT MATCHES AND WRESTLERS ARE ANNOUNCED FOR WRESTLING RESURGENCE?
Since winning the Resurgence Championship from Charli Evans, Kanji has faced some strong competition for the title and overcome the likes of Charles Crowley and Jay Joshua. However, for the next event she issued an open challenge – and just 48 hours before bell time, it’s been answered by Mike Bird. Bird is a former Arthouse Champion having only lost the title back in February, and will be looking to get gold back around his waist as quickly as possible.
Speaking of the Arthouse Championship, it will be on the line as Amira Blair defends against Gene Munny. Munny had been managing Blair but stabbed her in the back and now she’ll look to get revenge – although her gold will be on the line at the same time, as Munny looks to win the one title he hasn’t held in the company.
There’s also a double debut, as two wrestlers who have been making waves around the country go one on one as Hollie Barlow takes on Aluna.
The card for The Unusual Suspects currently stands as:
- Resurgence Championship: Kanji (c) vs. Mike Bird
- Arthouse Championship: Amira Blair (c) vs. Gene Munny
- Hollie Barlow vs. Aluna
- Resurgence Tag Team Championships: Act Two (c) vs. Trew & Lacey
- Denzel Mack vs. Jay Joshua vs. Josh Holly
- Scott Oberman vs. Spike Trivet
