The lineup of wrestlers will include WWE Hall of Famer Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, "The Mountie" Jacques Rougeau, UFC star Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, and Kelly Kelly (Barbie Blank). Additional names are due to be added soon.
The encounter will take place on May 25 at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre on the Canadian side of the border. The main event will kick off from 5:00PM ET and be available across the U.S. and Canada.
Proceeds from all ticket sales will benefit nonprofit organizations that support injured veterans and service members.
"At Zone·ify, we figured if trade negotiations are going to be a circus, we might as well sell tickets," said Doug Edwards, President of Zone·tv. 'The Border Brawl' is what happens when you give international policy a kick in the a** and let it settle things in the ring. It's absurd, over-the-top, and somehow still makes more sense than real-world diplomacy. We can't wait for fans across North America to witness the madness live on May 25."
Zone·ify is a free, ad-supported streaming platform specialising in live events, FAST channels, movies, and short-form content. It's available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Comcast, DIRECTV, and various other platforms.
