An announcement was recently made by PWG (Pro Wrestling Guerrilla) that PWG World Champion Bandido is making his highly-anticipated return to the company and will be appearing at their 2022 Battle Of Los Angeles as the eighth entrant. Bandido is PWG's current World Champion since beating Jeff Cobb at The Makings Of A Varsity Athlete Event on December 20, 2019, and has defended the title three times since then.
Bandido has been competing in PWG since 2018, when he made his debut at the Time Is A Flat Circle PPV Event. The 2022 PWG Battle Of Los Angeles Event will be Bandido's third PWG BOLA Event as he competed in the 2018 Battle Of Los Angeles, when he made it to the final match with Shingo Takagi and eventual winner Jeff Cobb. Bandido then won the 2019 Battle Of Los Angeles Event, when he defeated David Starr and newly-crowned ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham in the final match.
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.
