Former WWE star Trent Seven will headline a wrestling event in Caerphilly next month.

The family-friendly Mercy is for the Weak event, organised by Caerphilly-based No Mercy Wrestling, will be held at Caerphilly Leisure Centre on Sunday September 1 from 3pm.

Seven, who hails from Wolverhampton, spent six years with WWE between 2016 and 2022, and now stars in TNA Wrestling.

He will challenge for the No Mercy Championship in a high-stakes Triple Threat match—a bout where three competitors face off simultaneously, with the first to score a pinfall or submission being declared the winner.

In this bout, Seven will face off against Harrison Bennett and the reigning champion, Joseph Conners – another former WWE competitor.

Seven said: “I’m coming to Caerphilly with a few boxes to tick… to climb Caerphilly Mountain, have my first ever fight with Harrison Bennett and to claim the No Mercy Wrestling title from Joseph Conners – a man I’ve known for a long time and know full well what he’s capable of – but most importantly take that new shiny title back to the log cabin on Moustache Mountain.”

The event will also feature Welsh wrestler ‘The Brilliance’ James Ellis, facing off against No Mercy founder Chris Bevan in a match to determine the ownership of No Mercy Wrestling.

Former tag team partners turned bitter enemies, ‘The Art of Violence’ MJ Grayson and Big Van Weske, will clash in an ‘I Quit Match’. In this brutal encounter, the only way to win is to force your opponent to utter the words “I quit,” signifying their submission.

In the final of the 2024 Iron Cobra Tournament, Viktor Lindon will face Ethan Thomas, who is determined to finally claim victory aftercoming agonisingly close in his previous two attempts at claiming the crown.
