Despite a number of these men being consistent performers on UWN programming, they are also well-known for their work in other promotions. Case and point, Chris Dickinson, who is considered one of the favorites going into this tournament, has been a relative regular for <strong>Game Changer Wrestling<\/strong>, appearing for their various events. Until recently, Davey Boy Smith Jr. was a stalwart for <strong>Major League Wrestling<\/strong>, even winning the revived <strong><em>Opera Cup<\/em><\/strong>. Peter Avalon may be the most well-known given that he is currently signed with <strong>All Elite Wrestling<\/strong>, mostly competing on <strong>AEW Dark<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These are just a few examples, but they speak volumes about the landscape of the UWN World Championship Tournament. With such a unique landscape, the title can be anyone&#8217;s to take.
