CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill. (August 11, 2018) – Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, Illinois, will welcome Rey Mysterio and other professional wrestling stars from around the world for Warrior Wrestling 2 on Sunday, September 2. The wrestling event will serve as a fundraiser for scholarships for students as well as a “fun-raiser” for the school community and surrounding area of the south suburbs and northwest Indiana.

The main event for the evening is the first-ever War of Attrition Match, a new type of wrestling match that has never been done in WWE or any other company. The match will feature eight wrestling superstars from different organizations and styles of wrestling—Rey Mysterio, Austin Aries, Pentagon, Fenix, Rich Swann, Brian Cage, Jeff Cobb, and Sammy Guevara.

The evening will also feature seven other wrestling matches with elite men and women from wrestling’s biggest organizations, including WWE and Impact Wrestling. Current WWE star James Ellsworth will be in action, as will Impact Wrestling stars Tessa Blanchard and DJZ.

Though the card is subject to change, the event will be family-friendly. Tickets can be purchased online at www.warriorwrestling.net. Prices range from $30 for general admission bleacher seats to $100 for first row ringside seats. Bell time is 7:30pm on September 2, with doors opening to the public at 6:30. A VIP Fan Fest will take place before the show from 5:15 to 7:15, allowing attendees to meet the wrestlers, take pictures, and receive autographs. All autographs and pictures are free in the Fan Fest, and $25 admission tickets to the Fest are also available through the Warrior Wrestling website. Food and concessions will be available for purchase, and for those fans over 21, several local breweries will have their craft beer on tap.

All proceeds from the event go to benefit scholarships for local students to attend Marian Catholic High School.
