WCPW General Manager Adam Blampied revealed Thursday that current ROH champion Cody Rhodes would no longer be part of the Pro Wrestling World Cup USA Qualifiers on July 21 in Manchester.

His replacement was soon announced; Keith Lee will act as Cody's replacement in the brackets, bringing his impossibly agile big man antics to WCPW for the very first time.
