The Relay for Life of Russell County will host the second annual World Wrestling Xpress fundraising show "True Champions". This year's event will take place Saturday, February 6 at the Russell High School Gym.

This event will also coincide with the 2016 Relay for Life Kickoff, which is the start of the new Relay fundraising season.

They would like to have any team, new or old, that is interested in helping in the fight against cancer to register by February 6. Also, anyone who has heard the words, "You have cancer," Relay welcomes you to register as a Cancer Survivor. You can register for either at http://relay.acsevents.org. All registered team members will receive half price tickets for the event. All registered Cancer Survivors will receive free admission.

The event will start at 5:30 PM with a special meet and greet for all Ring Side Ticket Holders. The meet and greet will consist of an autograph session with the wrestlers and a special photo session.

The doors to the gym will open at 6 PM for general admission and the first bell will ring at 6:30 PM. There will be a concession stand featuring BBQ from Screwloose BBQ.

Money raised from ticket sales and concessions will go toward Russell County Relay for Life, which will be held June 11, 2016.

The night will be filled with lots of great family entertainment in several matches with lots of wrestling action from the stars of the WWX. Some of the returning stars from last year's event include Danimal, Flex Reed, Merrick McMichaels, Skyler Slice, Hasan Payne and many more. The Main Event of the evening will be a battle between two former WWE Superstars for the WWX Heavyweight Championship. Trevor Murdoch will return to Russell to challenge the current WWX Champion Rodney Mack.

Tickets can be purchased at USA Express or from any Relay for Life Leadership Team Member.
