Wrestlezone legend Scotty Swift has warned rivals he aims to lift the prestigious Regal Rumble title.
Swift, aka ‘The Red Haired Warrior”, has laid down the gauntlet ahead of the over-the-top-rope match at Aberdeen’s Northern Hotel on Saturday.
Back after a two-year absence due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Regal Rumble will see 25 wrestlers battle to be the last one remaining in the ring.
The winner will challenge Damien for the Undisputed Title at Aberdeen Anarchy 2022.
Swift won the 2015 Regal Rumble and aims to triumph again.
He said: “We’re all excited for the return of the Regal Rumble after a two-year gap.
“This is my eighth appearance and the competition gets more difficult each year.
“I won the match back in 2015 and I’m determined to win it again this year.
“We have graduates of the WrestleZone Training Academy making their first Rumble appearances, whereas some are making their 10th appearance!
“Aspen Faith, who returned to the company after a long absence, will also be tough to overcome.”
Tag team showdown with The Outfit
Before the much-anticipated 25-man Regal Rumble showdown, Swift will be in tag-team action at the Northern Hotel.
He will team up with Damien and Umar Mohammed to face The Outfit and William Sterling.
Undisputed Champion Damien laid down the challenge to The Outfit’s Dino Del Monte following their non-title match in Ellon on February 19.
Damien secured victory only for Del Monte to then attack him.
Swift then became involved by making the save. However, Mauler Murphy entered the fray, attacking both Swift and Damien.
Two former Regal Rumble winners have entered this year's Regal Rumble match!
Bryan Tucker won the match back in 2011 with @ScottySwift victorious in 2015.

Del Monte subsequently poleaxed Damien and the bad blood has continued into the Regal Rumble night.
Swift said: “I’ve not had my troubles to seek with The Outfit lately.
“Eliminating them from the match would be a great boost heading into Aberdeen Anarchy.”
