7th-Annual “Gauntlet for the Gold” To Crown New Heavyweight Champion

DES MOINES, Iowa–The all-stars of Midwest pro wrestling will be in action once again as 3XWrestling (3XW) holds the most important battle royal in the history of Des Moines on May 25 at 3XW’s Over the Top 3event.

The 7th-annual “Gauntlet for the Gold” will feature a minimum of 30 competitors battling it out in a Royal Rumble-style over-the-top rope battle royal, with the final competitor standing winning the 3XW Heavyweight championship for the first time in the history of 3XW’s premiere battle royal.

3XWrestling officials added this historic stipulation to this year’s “Gauntlet for the Gold” after stripping most recent Heavyweight champion “The Rebel” Jeremy Wyatt of the title due to a severe leg injury he recently suffered. Wyatt will be out of action for a minimum of three-to-six months.
