It was recently announced by Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) that JD Drake will be making an appearance at their 2022 Battle Of Los Angeles as the thirteenth entrant. JD Drake currently works for All Elite Wrestling, but he has also competed for CZW, FIP and GCW. JD made his AEW debut on an episode of Dark back in February, when he lost a Singles Match to Eddie Kingston. Drake is a member of The Wingmen in AEW, along with Ryan Nemeth, Peter Avalon and Cezar Bononi.
JD Drake made his PWG debut back in December of 2019, when he lost to David Starr at the Makings of a Varsity Athlete Event. The 2022 PWG Battle Of Los Angeles will be the first PWG BOLA Event for Drake. JD last competed for PWG at their It’s A Long Way To The Top Event last November 21st, when he teamed with Anthony Henry for a loss to the PWG World Tag Team Champions Brody King and AEW's Malakai Black, who defended their PWG World Tag Team Titles.
There is no word yet on who the other participants are, but updates will be provided once it has been made available. The 2022 PWG Battle Of Los Angeles is set to take place on Saturday, January 29th and Sunday, January 30th. PWG's Battle Of Los Angeles Event usually takes place over the course of 3 days in the summer, but next year's Battle Of Los Angeles will be held during the last weekend of January, which is when WWE's 2022 Royal Rumble Event in St. Louis will take place. PWG's Battle Of Los Angeles Event usually has 24 competitors, but there is no word yet on if next year's BOLA will have the exact same number of competitors.
