RevPro returns to the Rivermead Leisure Complex in Reading for the first time since October with yet another stacked card that incorporates some of the best independent talent from the US and the UK. The show presents several intriguing style clashes that all have the potential to steal the show this Saturday as RevPro continue to deliver can’t miss shows.

Lord Gideon Grey vs Dalton Castle

Dalton Castle makes his UK debut against the Lord of RevPro, Gideon Grey. Although both Castle and Grey have the reputation as character driven wrestlers, their characters often don’t do justice to their in ample in ring ability. Expect a match rich in showmanship, charisma, comedy and high quality wrestling, with perhaps the presence of The Boys combating the presence of Rishii Ghosh.

The Revolutionists (C) vs Jody Fleisch & Jonny Storm

British Tag Team Championship Match

Following the last Live at the Cockpit show, several teams from RevPro’s tag division emerged as a multi team brawl developed. Storm and Fleisch, the British wrestling legends-who had moments before delivered an excellent singles match-cleared the ring to stand tall and assert their dominance over the division. Fleisch and Storm, subsequently, earned the right to challenge The Revolutionists, who have held the titles for ten months whilst defending against the likes of Tencozy and Karl Anderson/Doc Gallows. Storm and Fleisch, both with a propensity to fly, will pose a different threat to The Revolutionists than previous opponents.

Josh Bodom vs Donovan Dijak

A couple of months ago, at The Cockpit, Josh Bodom and Donovan Dijak tore the house down with a fantastic match that witnessed Josh Bodom emerge victorious. For those that witnessed the match either live or on demand, it is clear what to expect here. Although this card is stacked with some of the top names in independent wrestling from around the world, this match is the sleeper that has the potential to steal the show.

Pete Dunne (C) vs ACH

British Cruiserweight Championship

After defeating Josh Bodom at Live at the Cockpit 7, ACH demanded a shot at Pete Dunne’s Cruiserweight Championship. Andrew Quildan accepted ACH’ request, scheduling the match for Epic Encounter in Reading. Dunne/ACH presents an intriguing clash of styles, with Dunne’s mat based acumen looking to negate ACH’s outstanding aerial ability. Pete Dunne is poised to make a big impression in the coming years and a victory over ACH here will further establish the Bruiserweight as one of the guys to look out for emerging from the European scene.

Roderick Strong vs Damo

Over the past year, Damo has delivered some of the best matches in RevPro, facing the likes of Shinsuke Nakamura, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Mark Haskins and Speedball Mike Bailey to establish himself as one of the premier big men in the world. Roderick Strong, too, is enjoying an incredible run in both ROH and PWG. Damo and Strong, although night and day stylistically, are both adaptable to their opponent’s style which makes for a fascinating match.

Will Ospreay vs Michael Elgin

Few have had a better 2016 than Will Ospreay: Ospreay has delivered a series of outstanding matches against the likes of Marty Scurll, Zack Sabre Jr, Ricochet, Shane Strickland and, most recently in his NJPW debut, KUSHIDA. Michael Elgin is the latest opponent in a long line of high caliber adversaries for Ospreay, in another match at Epic Encounter that presents an interesting clash of styles, pitting Ospreay’s speed vs Elgin’s size.

The LDRS (Zack Sabre Jr & Marty Scurll) vs Ricochet & Matt Sydal

At RevPro High Stakes in January, Marty Scurll defeated Will Ospreay to be crowned number one contender in not only arguably the best match in RevPro history, but arguably the best match on British shores period. At the next Cockpit show, Marty Scurll announced that he would not be challenging the new RevPro Champion, Zack Sabre Jr, who defeated AJ Styles on the same night for the title: instead, Marty Scurll offered Zack Sabre Jr the opportunity to reform the tag team they both broke into the business in: The LDRS. Sabre accepted Scurll’s offer, laying out a challenge to the best tag teams in the world.

Ricochet and Sydal, the former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champions and two of the premier high fliers in the world, answered the challenge to face The LDRS at Epic Encounter.

Despite the tentative alliance between Zack Sabre Jr and Marty Scrull, The Villain’s history suggests that he is not to be trusted. Expect nothing short of an outstanding match here with the possibility of tensions rising between The LDRS.

We will have live coverage and reports from Reading on Saturday evening.
