World Wide Wrestling League (W3L) is returning to the Moray town later this month to host a Live American Style Wrestling event.
Wrestling Showdown will kick off at Elgin Town Hall on Thursday, July 27.
Organisers are promising lights, cameras and plenty of action as they celebrate 20 years of bringing the best in professional wrestling to the UK.
Local wrestler Meyhem Brooks will represent his hometown when he enters the ring next week.
Taking to Instagram to announce the upcoming event, the athlete wrote: “Hometown matches hit different. Get your tickets now and come watch me do what I do best… choke out fools.”

“Elgin has become one of our favourite towns to visit with us holding last years Summer Spectacular in the town hall and returning this year for Wrestling Showdown.
“The fans in Elgin are always fantastic and we look forward to bringing them a bigger and better presentation every year.”
