For the last several months, fans of Stride Pro Wrestling have been accustomed to Heath Hatton teaming up with Ax Allwardt. The two are former Heavyweight champions and have also held the tag team titles two times. This Saturday night though, Hatton has a new partner, one who has yet to step into the ring in front of a crowd. Kaleigh Miles makes her debut all for a good cause.

Kaleigh's sister-in-law Sarah Miles-Keltner is battling stage four cancer. The disease has attacked the young mother of three. Now Stride Pro Wrestling is working to help the family. Hatton will team with Kaleigh against Stride Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion Tony Flood and Sarah Summers.

Summers is no stranger to mixed tag team matches. You may recall she and Farmer Billy Hills competed for the tag team titles in a fatal four-way elimination match in early 2017.

Emotions will be high as Kaleigh makes her debut in honor of her sister-in-law. And there's a huge issue between Hatton and Flood as the two have traded the Legacy Title in the past. Just this past weekend Hatton won a battle royal to become the number one contender to Flood's Heavyweight title. 

Join us Saturday night at 7 p.m. at Eldorado High School for this match and many more. You can stay updated here and on the Stride Pro Wrestling Facebook page.
