With The Great Southern Trendkill set for September 28th at the Great Plains Coliseum in Lawton, Oklahoma, fans are buzzing with excitement — and frustration. Despite the event being less than three weeks away, United Toughness Alliance has yet to reveal an official card.

According to sources, UTA officials have been in heavy discussions all week, mapping out the marquee bouts that will define the show. The expectation is that over the next three streaming shows and live tour stops, the card will finally begin to take shape.

What We’re Hearing Backstage

• 
  

  Eric Dane Jr. vs. Chris Ross: The two bitter rivals are expected to clash once more, continuing a heated feud that has stretched from WrestleUTA: 25 through the Trendkill Tour. Officials reportedly view this as one of the tentpole matches of the event.

  Valkyrie Knox (c) vs. ???: The UTA Women’s Champion will almost certainly defend her title in Lawton. Whether her challenger will be Amy Harrison, Susanita Ybáñez, or even returning legend Marie Van Claudio remains the million-dollar question.

Ticket Sales Lagging

On the business side, ticket sales have been sluggish — a rarity for UTA. Fans are reportedly hesitant to commit without knowing which matches they’ll be seeing. The hope among management is that once the first few matches are made official, sales will surge in the final two weeks leading up to the event.

With speculation high and anticipation building, expect The Great Southern Trendkill to come into focus soon. By the time the next three shows air, fans should have a clear picture of what promises to be one of the most pivotal events of 2025.
