This isn’t just another event. It’s where legends are born, dreams are shattered, and unforgettable memories are made. When I step into that ring, mic in hand, it’s not just an announcement. It’s an opening chapter, setting the stage for stories fans will be talking about for decades.
Izzy Irons: [leans forward] And what do you think your role is in making those stories so iconic? You’ve called every major contest in PWL history—some of the biggest rivalries and most shocking finishes. How does it feel knowing your voice is woven into those moments?

Theo Thrill: Oh, Izzy, you’re trying to squeeze spoilers out of me, aren’t you? [grins] All I’ll say is this—every match at Rumble City is a headliner in its own right. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t keeping a close eye on some of the up-and-coming stars. This is their moment to break through, to say, “Hey world, I’m here, and I’m ready to take on everyone.” You’ll see rivalries boil over, surprises that knock you off your seat, and unforgettable performances.
