So far Teoman,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noam Dar, and Kenny Williams have already progressed to the semi-final. Dar will meet Williams. Teoman will take on the winner of Wolfgang and Sam Gradwell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can guarantee Wolfgang vs. Gradwell will be a hard-hitting bout between two big lads. It\u2019s tough to predict who will progress to meet Teoman but it is unlikely they will get past him to the final. The winner of the final will earn a shot at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/05\/21\/tyler-bate-wins-heritage-cup\/\" target=\"_self\">Tyler Bate&#8217;s Heritage Cup Championship<\/a>.
