Mark Davis to Put AEW National Title on the Line at RevPro British J-Cup on June 27

Mark Davis will carry the AEW National Championship across the Atlantic this weekend, as Revolution Pro Wrestling has announced he’ll defend the title against Man Like Dereiss at the RevPro British J-Cup on June 27.

The event takes place at Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage, with doors opening at 5:30 PM and a bell time of 6:00 PM. The AEW National Championship match adds significant stakes to what is already one of RevPro’s marquee annual events, with the British J-Cup serving as a showcase for some of the best junior heavyweight and cruiserweight talent the UK scene has to offer.

Davis, one half of the acclaimed tag team Aussie Open alongside Kyle Fletcher, has been a prominent presence on the AEW National Title scene, and this defense continues a pattern of the championship being put on the line at international partner promotions — a practice AEW has used to add prestige to both the title and the promotions it works with.

Man Like Dereiss is a rising name on the UK independent scene and a RevPro regular, making him a natural challenger for a home crowd that should be firmly behind him come Saturday night. It’s the kind of match that gives a homegrown talent a genuine moment on a big stage, with championship gold on the line.

Fans in Stevenage this weekend will get to see whether Davis can walk out still holding the AEW National Title, or whether Man Like Dereiss seizes his opportunity in front of his home crowd.
