DYERSBURG, Tenn. -- The Global Wrestling Association, the world's fastest-growing professional wrestling organization, announced that Pro Wrestling Illustrated Rookie of the Year nominee Raphael King will face "All That" Alan Steel at "GWA Grand Prix" on Saturday, May 24. The bout will take place in Dyersburg, Tennessee, roughly 90 minutes northeast of Memphis.

Raphael King is unquestionably a star on the rise. Debuting in October 2012, the Atlanta native competed in almost two hundred matches in over thirty different promotions during his first year as a pro. King's remarkable athleticism, rapid improvement, and intense passion for the sport led to his nomination as 2013 Rookie of the Year by the editors of Pro Wrestling Illustrated. King looks to earn many more accolades in the years to come.

An accomplished wrestler in singles and tag team competition, Alan Steel has faced a wide variety of opponents during his career. Steel has locked horns with Randy Orton, Kurt Angle, and The Rock N Roll Express. Recently, Alan Steel achieved success as a tag team wrestler, winning championship gold before splitting from his former partner. Steel looks to continue his winning ways in the GWA.

The bout will be a part of the undercard of "GWA Grand Prix," which will be headlined by the first-ever 15-man "Grand Prix" match.

"GWA Grand Prix" will be held on Saturday, May 24 at the AAW Arena in Dyersburg, Tennessee. Tickets start at just $10 and are available now at http://GWA.yapsody.com
