The first ever Wrestling Entertainment Series card has been unveiled - and it is crammed with former WWE wrestlers.

WES is a brand new promotion launched by former NXT Tag Team Champions The Authors Of Pain, who are amongst the competitors returning to the ring for the occasion. Nottingham, England has been selected for the promotion's first show on Saturday 4 June, with the 10,000-seater Motorpoint Arena the booked venue.

Gzim Selmani and Sunny Dhinsa, who will reunite with legendary manager Paul Ellering in WES, have an ambitious number of tickets to sell. They will attempt to do this by bringing in the likes of Adam Scherr, former UFC star Alistair Overeem, Killer Kross, and a host of others.
