New champion crowned in New Zealand

Capital Pro Wrestling in New Zealand’s capital region has crowned a new heavyweight champion! Liam Erikson defeated William Cutting at Let’s Try That Again on July 31st at a sold out Epuni Community Hall in Lower Hutt, New Zealand in a Nynorsk Match, or Erikson’s version of a lumberjack match, to capture the title! Erikson’s title win was the culmination of a year-long feud between Erikson and Cutting and Cutting’s stable [REDACTED] after the group injured Erikson’s tag team partner DRAX.
