Both Alberto El Patron and his Mexican peer Rey Mysterio will be on the card at No Regrets on April 29. El Patron will look to hunt down The Prestige by taking on Joe Coffey, whereas Mysterio will aim to get his WCPW career off to a flying start against El Ligero.

Even though they are both already involved in huge matches on the iPPV, El Patron and Mysterio may well also fancy a crack at the WCPW Title in the Championship Rumble. Crucially, each man brings a significant edge, because both have won WWE's Royal Rumble in the past.

Rey was the first lucha star to come out on top in 2006, and his victory was arguably trumped by El Patron's 2011 win in the biggest ever Rumble yet; 2011's Royal Rumble was contested by 40 men as opposed to the more traditional 30-man format.

Incredibly, two former WWE Royal Rumble winners could heap further misery on Drew Galloway's attempted defence of the WCPW Title if they are included in the Championship Rumble on April 29.
