CARDIFF is set to host one of its biggest independent wrestling events of the year as Slammasters Wrestling presents its latest blockbuster event, Once Upon A Time In HollyHood, at the Grade II-listed Portland House on Sunday, May 10, 2026.
Headlining the event is HollyHood Haley J, breakout star of the globally successful Netflix docuseries Wrestlers, which became the number one show on Netflix around the world and introduced Haley J to a global audience.
Her appearance in Cardiff marks a major coup for Slammasters Wrestling and one of the promotion’s most high-profile international bookings to date.
In her Slammasters debut, Haley J will face Chantal Jordan in a highly anticipated contest.

“Whether you’re a lifelong wrestling fan or picking up your first ticket, this is a show you will not want to miss.”
