It's been an incredible year already for Irish wrestling.

In the WWE, Dublin's very own Sheamus and his Swiss tag team partner Cesaro rang in the new year as Raw Tag Team champions, Becky Lynch has been the top female baby face (good guy) on SmackDown Live.

Belfast's own Killian Dain has been tearing up the tag team scene down in NXT and, of course, Tucker and Jordan Devlin, from Belfast and Bray respectively, were two of the break-out stars of the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament.

On home shores, Belfast wrestling gym Uprising set for their first show in Belfast's famous Europa Hotel.

And now, Ireland's biggest independent promotion Over The Top Wrestling are set to put on their most ambitious show yet.

On April 15th, the biggest wrestling stars outside of the WWE; The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega (otherwise known as Bullet Club), are coming to Dublin's National Stadium for Scrappermania 3 to wrestle independent wrestling sensation Will Ospreay and his team the Uptown Funkers.

Omega shot into the mainstream consciousness when his incredible match with Kazuchika Okada at New Japan's flagship WrestleKingdom show in January made headlines the World over, and he has recently turned down the WWE to clear up "unfinished business" in Japan.

Speaking at OTT's recent show in Belfast, fast-rising Irish independent wrestler 'Sesh moth' Martina (real name Karen Glennon) told Irish Daily Mirror that she saw grown men crying when the announcement was made at their Dublin show the night previous. "The reaction was insane," she said.

"If you had told me seven years ago when I decided to get into this business that I would be on the same card as idols like the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega etc, I would have said you were mad! It's overwhelming.

"Kenny Omega is the hottest free agent in wrestling at the moment. I mean, he's not going to WWE. That nowadays is very rare. He's very high in everybody in the world of wrestling's ranking. I don't see this show not selling out to be honest."

Tickets are still available on Eventbrite.ie, but if you want the chance to see the biggest stars in indie wrestling live you better act quick; the company sold-out almost three quarters of the arena's 2,000 capacity within the first day.
