CRUEL SUMMER
SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 4:00PM
SAM RAYBURN INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL
1048 N EARL RUDDER FWY, BRYAN, TX
It’s shaping up to be the biggest summer event Lions Pride Sports has ever put together.
Cruel Summer will feature some of the biggest stars in Texas, stacked matches, and a lineup built to steal the show from top to bottom.
The Lions Den Championship will be on the line in a rematch from Here to Stay 5. DRE HENDRIXX retained the title in a high-impact bout against JAK CALLOWAY, but the defeated challenger launched an attack against the champ immediately after being rolled up for the pin. General Manager DRAKE DURDEN booked the return match for Cruel Summer to end this intense rivalry, and it will be falls count anywhere in the Sam Rayburn Gym.
Tickets will be available soon, but mark your calendar now and make sure you’re with us in Bryan for all the action.
