It was announced on Tuesday that Gabe Sapolsky would be debuting a new promotion, called Style Battle, on the new streaming service at the beginning of next year. The promotion will feature a tournament on every show and Style Battle's premiere event will take place on January 7th at The Orpheum in Ybor City, FL. Events for the new promotion will occur "almost monthly" and will be structured in seasons. There will be nine events in each season, with the first eight shows all featuring an eight-man single elimination tournament. The winners of those tournaments will then face off on the season finale to crown a winner. "Tournaments can provide drama and excitement unlike anything else in wrestling," Sapolsky said. "This will be a unique opportunity for upcoming wrestlers, today's stars and veterans looking to prove something to showcase their wrestling style." Dave Meltzer first reported on the new promotion in the October 31st edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
