CHICAGO HEIGHTS, IL - Professional wrestling stars from all around the world will be welcomed to Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights for a "Warrior Wrestling" night in May. The family friendly event, which will feature world champion WWE wrestlers and other WWE stars, will serve as a "fun-raiser" for the school community and surrounding area of the south suburbs and Northwest Indiana according to a news release from Steve Tortorello, the principal of Marian Catholic.

Former WWE World Champions Alberto El Patron (Del Rio) and Jack Swagger will headline the event, planned for Friday, May 11 at the Marian Catholic High School West Gym. Other WWE stars Matt Sydal (Evan Bourne), James Ellsworth, Hornswoggle and Ricardo Rodriguez are also planning to be there.

There will also be current stars on Impact Wrestling on PopTV, a wrestling program the news release cites as the second most popular in North America.
