The city of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, is gearing up for an electrifying four-day wrestling extravaganza as the Starrcast Downunder convention descends upon the region in April, presented by Oceania Pro Wrestling (OPW), in partnership with Visit Victoria.
Following the announcement of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's (TNA) participation at the events, it can be revealed that the TNA World Championship, currently held by Moose, and the TNA Knockouts World Championship, held by Jordynne Grace, will be on the line at the Australian Stampede and HER events, respectively.
At the Australian Stampede event, curated by legendary wrestler Bret Hart, fans will witness a captivating encounter as Moose defends his TNA World Championship against the formidable Josh Alexander. The challenger, who never lost the title but was forced to vacate it due to injury, now has a golden opportunity to reclaim the coveted belt on Australian soil.
On the women's side, the HER event, presented by multi-time Women's World Champion Mickie James, promises to be one of the biggest and most significant women's matches in Australian wrestling history.
Jordynne Grace will defend her TNA Knockouts World Championship against Delta, the most dominant force in the Australian wrestling scene.
With two prestigious World Championships at stake, Starrcast Downunder in Ballarat will be the focal point of the wrestling world.
