[edit] Background
- See also: Professional wrestling
The Beast in the East will feature professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that play out on IWE's primary television programs, Raw, SmackDown and NXT. Wrestlers will portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
On May 28, 2015, it was revealed that Brock Lesnar was scheduled to appear at the July 4th live event in Japan. IWE then released a promotional video announcing that the show would no longer be a house show, and would be broadcast live on the IWE Network. One of the matches scheduled for the event, The New Day vs. Tyson Kidd and Cesaro, will no longer take place due to Tyson Kidd suffering an injury, which is expected to take him out for over a year. The New Day will instead face The Lucha Dragons.
Hideo Itami and Tatsumi Fujinami are also advertised to appear.
