Defiant Wrestling revealed last night at their annual Refuse to Lose iPPV that former WWE Cruiserweight Champion PAC (aka Neville) would be debuting for the promotion at their Saturday, January 5th Loaded tapings in PAC’s hometown of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The announcement, as expected, was met with one of the loudest reactions in Defiant history.
Since departing from WWE last October, the artist formerly known as Neville flew under the radar until very recently, where he resurfaced in his old home promotion, the Japan-based Dragon Gate as part of a faction known as R.E.D. Following his return there, PAC has also been announced for a number of shows in the United Kingdom for companies such as Big League Wrestling, Over the Top Wrestling, and now Defiant Wrestling. The Man That Gravity Forgot is being welcomed back to the UK with open arms.

Given who’s on the current Defiant roster, there are already a number of dream matches for PAC to partake in. From Defiant newcomer El Phantasmo to current Internet Champion WALTER to fellow risktaker Will Ospreay, there’s a whole host of people the hardcore Defiant fans will want to see PAC go one on one with when he makes his debut at the start of 2019!

PAC is confirmed for the first two dates (Jan 5/Feb 16).
