2019 Weaver Cup Results: Royal Takes Home the Trophy Once Again

Congratulations to Arik Royal who won the 2019 (and 16th annual) Johnny Weaver Cup tournament for CWF Wrestling on August 24 in Gibsonville, NC. Royal, now a three-time winner of the tournament, defeated Roy Wilkins in the finals of a tournament that lasted the entire summer and completed its 16th historic year.

On top of winning the beautiful Weaver Cup trophy, Royal also captured the CWF Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship, vacated earlier this year when Trevor Lee left CWF to join the WWE (and became Cameron Grimes in NXT.) Lee was also a former Weaver Cup winner in 2013.

Royal becomes both a two-time CWF Mid-Atlantic Champion and three-time Weaver Cup champion, having won the tournament back-to-back in 2011 and 2012.
