THIS.. Is what you get when you're an indie company having a working relationship with the WWE. WWE pulls this kind of weak ass bullshit.
Ahead of the tournament starting on Friday, wXw has announced a change to this year's 16 Carat Gold.
Jeff Cobb is replacing Lio Rush in the three-night, 16-wrestler tournament. wXw wrote that the change was made due to Rush being pulled by WWE: "Unfortunately WWE has pulled @itsLioRush from #wXw16Carat due to his WWE schedule. We are as dissapointed about this as you are. We are excited to confirm @RealJeffCobb as Lio’s replacement for #wXw16Carat."
16 Carat Gold is taking place in Oberhausen, Germany this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The first round matches are:
Marius Al-Ani vs. Cara Noir
Jeff Cobb vs. Alexander James
Bandido vs. Julian Pace
Daniel Makabe vs. Eddie Kingston

The Rotation vs. Puma King
Lucky Kid vs. Jurn Simmons
Black Taurus vs. Shigehiro Irie
It was also announced yesterday that Alex Shelley, who was only set for 16 Carat Gold night two, would no longer be appearing. wXw posted a statement from Shelley and tweeted: "We regret to inform you that [Alex Shelley] won’t be at #wXw16Carat. As Alex works with immunocompromised patients in a clinic in his real job, he cannot risk exposing himself to a possible infection with the corona virus by traveling to Germany & wrestling."
