A locally-born star says he hopes a forthcoming major wrestling show in the UK will be ‘fight night’ for him.

Luke Menzies stars as superstar Ridge Holland in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The organisation is set to hold a major show, called ‘Clash at the Castle’ in the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff on Saturday, September 3.

The Liversedge-born grappler tweeted a poster for the event, posting ‘fight night’ which has become one of his character’s nicknames.

 

The former Bradford Bulls youngster took part in the WWE’s two-date UK tour last month, at shows in Newcastle and London.

Menzies stars on WWE’s weekly Friday Night Smackdown TV show.

He has also backed Bradford's bid to become the City of Culture 2025 after it reached the final four of contenders.
