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.
