Ex-WWE Star To Make In-Ring Return After Five Years Away

WWE

A former WWE star is set to make his wrestling return for the first time since 2018, after five years away from the ring.

It has now been announced that Paul Burchill will be in action at Big Time Wrestling’s The Great Fall Bash 2 on September 30.

Burchill will face off against fellow former WWE star Gangrel in a match.

The Developmentally Speaking YouTube channel shared a promo video from Burchill to hype up this match, which you can watch below.

In the promo, Burchill said:

“Gangrel, they reached out to me and asked me to send some kind of a message promoting our match on the 30th of September in Chillicothe, Ohio. Raise the colors, raise the flag, but I’ve heard what you’ve been saying.

“You’ve been making all kinds of threats. You’re talking about, ‘There’s gonna be blood.’ Son, you’ve got a real short memory. It’s been a while since you and me got in the ring together.

“That was a long time ago, back in England. Actually, while I’ve got England in my mind, I’ll do a little word association just to illustrate the depth between you and me. Gangrel, when it comes to England, you’re Elton John.

“Me? I’m Jack the Ripper. 30th of September, Shoemaker Center, Chillicothe, Ohio, The Vampire Warrior vs. The Ripper. The only blood is going to be your blood on my hands, and there’s two things you can do about it: nothing and like it.”

Burchill wrestled for WWE from 2005 to 2010, starting on the OVW brand before moving up to the main roster.

The star had several notable gimmicks, including a pirate character.

He last wrestled at an OVW show in October 2018.
