Beyond<\/strong> Wrestling<\/strong>\u00a0and Women’s Wrestling Revolution<\/strong> presents a full intergender card with Lit<\/strong> Up<\/strong><\/em> for WrestleMania<\/strong> weekend, and Beyond and WWR are the only companies to due so. Intergender wrestling has been a staple of Beyond and some of the top independent talent in North America have been featured in these matches on the most watched independent wrestling YouTube channel.\u00a0Kimber<\/strong> Lee<\/strong> returns after being released from her WWE<\/strong> contract with NXT <\/strong>(where she was known\u00a0as\u00a0Abbey Laith<\/strong>)\u00a0and she was in some of the greatest Beyond matches in history with the likes of Kassius<\/strong> Ohno<\/strong> and Chris<\/strong> Dickinson<\/strong>. It’s been announced a week before the event that Kimber Lee will be challenging for the Powerbomb.tv Independent Championship. There are two mixed tag team matches, and the unique thing about Beyond is the fans will vote which match should main event on Social Media. David<\/strong> Starr<\/strong> has been taken off the card and replaced – he has been proclaiming he is the companies \u201cAce\u201d for years but Beyond announced Starr will no longer compete for the company, effective immediately. We will see on Thursday, April 5 if \u201cThe Product\u201d crashes the show and if there is more is to come from David Starr. Let\u2019s take a look at the full card with predictions on each match. Beyond Lit Up will be available live on WWN<\/strong> Live<\/strong> and Fite<\/strong> TV<\/strong> online.<\/p>\n

Thunder Rosa and Holidead have been a tag team two years now on the independents, combining beauty with theatrical horror. Rosa is a member of the Lucha<\/strong> Underground<\/strong> roster as Kobra<\/strong> Moon<\/strong> and Holidead was recently knocked out of the first round of the tournament to crown the first Women<\/strong> Of<\/strong> Honor<\/strong> champion for Ring<\/strong> Of<\/strong> Honor<\/strong> Wrestling<\/strong> by Deonna Purrazzo. They have chemistry for miles but the rough and rugged team of Jaka and Chris Dickinson should be as big of a challenge as any. Dickinson has a tendency to throw any opponent with the dangerous Pazuzu Bomb into the ropes, man or woman. Respect will be earned in the ring, and maybe even by pinfall for The Twisted Sisterz, but Doom Patrol don\u2019t lose very often. Dickinson and Jaka almost stole WrestleMania<\/strong> weekend last year with a match against South<\/strong> Pacific<\/strong> Power<\/strong> Trip<\/strong> (Travis<\/strong> Banks<\/strong> and TK<\/strong> Cooper<\/strong>) in a special EVOLVE<\/strong> Wrestling<\/strong> vs. PROGRESS<\/strong> Wrestling<\/strong> match and they likely get the win again this year.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Doom Patrol<\/em><\/p>\n

Jessicka\u00a0Havok\u00a0vs. Jimmy Havoc<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jessicka Havok is the reigning and inaugural AAW<\/strong> Pro<\/strong>\u00a0Women\u2019s Champion and Jimmy Havoc is the reigning Defiant Wrestling\u00a0<\/b>Hardcore\u00a0Champion. Two of wrestling\u2019s most vicious will bring innovative ways to win the match, even if there are no weapons involved. Jessicka has the experience just like her opponent and with just as deadly of a move-set. Havoc has won almost every one of her AAW Women’s Championship title defenses with a Tombstone Piledriver from the second rope. There are chances that the Acid Rainmaker might not even put Jessicka Havok down for the three-count. A match fans have asked to be booked before for a long time is presented only by Beyond<\/strong> Wrestling\/WWR\u00a0<\/strong>and could be one of the most buzzed about matches of the week. Jimmy Havoc tries to bring a special weapon into the ring only to have it turned on him in the end and Jessicka Havok stands tall is the prediction here.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Jessicka Havok wins<\/em><\/p>\n

Janelope (Joey Janela & Penelope Ford) vs. Session Moth Martina and Orange Cassidy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Joey Janela and Penelope Ford are a real-life couple that parlay their love for pro wrestling together, often teaming in Beyond together while they are singles acts in other independent companies. Penelope Ford is no stranger to the hardcore style of Janela, Ford was in a wild tag team match months ago against\u00a0Da<\/strong> Hit<\/strong> Squad<\/strong>, where Monsta<\/strong> Mack<\/strong> pounded her across the ring. Session Moth Martina always brings the party with her wherever she goes, from the Flats to the Big Easy. Orange Cassidy is a regular tag team partner with Chuck<\/strong> Taylor<\/strong> as the Gentleman’s<\/strong> Club<\/strong>,\u00a0and Chuck<\/strong> Taylor<\/strong> will be in New<\/strong> Japan<\/strong> Pro<\/strong> Wrestling<\/strong> for bookings for the time being. Cassidy and Martina are going to bring lots of fun and lots of adult beverages to this event and even if it\u2019s a losing effort, it won\u2019t feel that way for the fans in attendance. Joey Janela has faced a career resurgence with spectacular matches in companies like Pro<\/strong> Wrestling<\/strong>\u00a0Guerrilla<\/b>,\u00a0so the momentum surely continues here with a victory.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Janelope win<\/em><\/p>\n

Deonna Purrazzo vs. Matt Riddle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Both have great technical acumen is why these two are paired up but the similarities don\u2019t end there. \u201cVirtuosa\u201d Purrazzo is 23 years old and Riddle is 32 years old, but both have just five years experience (with big popularity) in a short amount of time. New Jersey native Purrazzo will have to use her speed to try to throw Riddle of his game, but they aren\u2019t many flaws in Matt Riddle’s game. The longer it goes the more it favors \u201cThe King Of Bros\u201d but Deonna Purrazzo will surprise a lot of people with how easily she can match up with the larger Riddle and apply some arm-wrenching submissions of her own. Matt Riddle has a busy WrestleMania week, wrestling for EVOLVE<\/strong> Wrestling<\/strong> and his very own GCW\u00a0<\/strong>presented\u00a0Bloodsport<\/strong><\/em> show against Low<\/strong>–Ki<\/strong> in a shoot-style match. Purrazzo has quite the schedule herself and this should be one of her best matches to date, even if it\u2019s one in the loss column. “The Fujiwara Armbar Specialist” may have to submit to the Bro-Mission.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Matt Riddle wins<\/em><\/p>\n

4-Way: Mia Yim vs. Maxwell Jacob Friedman vs. Tessa Blanchard vs. Wheeler YUTA<\/strong><\/h3>\n

David Starr<\/strong> proclaimed he represented Beyond Wrestling, more than anyone else from Donovan<\/strong> Dijak<\/strong> to Kimber<\/strong> Lee<\/strong> to Matt<\/strong> Riddle<\/strong> to Biff<\/strong> Busick<\/strong> (WWE NXT\u2019s Oney<\/strong> Lorcan<\/strong>) and is announced as \u201cMr. Americanrana\u201d at every single wrestling event. That seems to have all ended, unless there is more than meets the eye, but Starr has been replaced by the young Wheeler YUTA, with just as unique of a look to go with his innovative style.<\/p>\n

\n

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: David Starr will no longer be competing for Beyond Wrestling. He will be replaced by Wheeler YUTA at "Lit Up" in NOLA.<\/p>\n
