The tournament final was a four-way elimination match, which Robbie X won by defeating Lee Hunter, Leon Slater and Will Kaven. Apart from the tournament, The Legion (Lucian Phillips, Nathan Cruz and Yota Tsuji) defeated Eddie Dennis, Mad Kurt and Ricky Knight Jr. in a six-man tag team match, and Minoru Suzuki defeated Dan Moloney.[2]
Reception
editIan Hamilton of 411Mania rated the event 7.0, feeling that it "wasn’t a bad show - but one that seemed to lack a killer match, as more focus was put on Robbie X taking the crown after what’s felt like a year of going back-and-forth in Rev Pro."[3]
Aftermath
editBy winning the 2022 British J-Cup, Robbie X earned an Undisputed British Cruiserweight Championship opportunity against champion Luke Jacobs at Uprising. However, Will Kaven was added into the match due to beating Jacobs in the British J-Cup tournament, and Robbie X via count-out at Live in Sheffield.[4][5] Dan Moloney was also added to the match due to his rivalry with Jacobs and a tag team match, in which Moloney and Kaven defeated Jacobs and Robbie in a tag team match at Live in London 68.[6] Robbie defeated all three competitors in a four-way elimination match to win the British Cruiserweight Championship at Uprising.[7]
