Trainers there include All Elite Wrestling star Q.T.

Brown’s quarterfinal match takes place on June 4 against Michael Richard Blais. Prior to this, Brown will return home to Hants County for a show in Windsor on May 20 where he’ll be rallying support from his hometown fans. Having already wrestled as far west as Ontario, Stubbert said moving forward in the competition would validate him like never before.
