“It is our privilege to announce the arrival of Burning Heart Pro Wrestling,” Drake sais. “A new international wrestling promotion run by a committee of top, top international wrestlers.”
“The first show in Burning Heart Pro Wrestling will take place in my hometown on the 21st of June at the Liverpool Olympia,” Gibson added. “A venue rich in history that has seen its fair share of blood, sweat, and tears in a city with unrivaled heart. What better place for a company called Burning Heart to show the world exactly what they are about: pro wrestling from the heart.”
Gibson & Drake departed NXT last October when their WWE contracts expired. They had asked to be released from their contracts in April 2023 but had the request denied.
Since leaving WWE, The Grizzled Young Veterans have competed on the indies and for TNA Wrestling while still being free agents.
