Jonathan Gresham is out of PWG’s Battle of Los Angeles.
Ring of Honor World Champion Jonathan Gresham announced that he’ll be unable to compete at this weekend’s PWG BOLA event due to contracting COVID-19, and it’s the reason he was not able to appear at The WRLD On GCW on January 23.
Gresham writes:
“Unfortunately, I will not be making it to LA tomorrow for BOLA. I recently caught covid, and as a result, I had to miss GCW at the Hammerstein Ballroom. I am still testing positive as of today and don’t want to put any colleagues/fans in harms way.”
Gresham last appeared on the 1/27 edition of IMPACT Wrestling where he challenged Steve Maclin to a non-Pure Rules match on next week’s show. He also had to withdraw from his scheduled match at this past weekend’s GCW: The WRLD on GCW event. It’s worth noting that his IMPACT appearances have been taped weeks in advance.
PWG later announced that both Gresham and Davey Richards will be unable to compete in the tournament; as a result, AEW star Wheeler Yuta and Blake Christian have entered the tournament, and they will face off in the first round instead.
Unfortunately, Jonathan Gresham and Davey Richards are unable to compete at the 2022 Battle of Los Angeles. Wheeler Yuta and Blake Christian have now entered the tournament and will be facing off in the first round!
