King of Europe Cup officials have announced the first four matches booked in the first round of the tournament.
- Nigel McGuinnes (ROH) vs. Rhino (TNA)
- Chris Hero (CZW) vs. Claudio Castagnoli (CHIKARA)
- El Generico (IWS) vs. Matt Sydal (IWA: MS)
- Davey Richards (PWG) vs. Zebra Kid (WAW)
It should be noted that Roderick Strong had to pull out of the tournament "due to family commitments" and FIP all-together withdrew from the tournament. Replacing them was WAW with Zebra Kid as their representative. In addition to Claudio qualifying for CHIKARA in beating Mike Quakenbush on March 24, Pro Wrestling NOAH has selected Go Shiozaki as their representative. That leaves 1PW and wXw still needing to make their selections.
