Faceoff is set for 7:05 p.m. as the IceRays take on the Shreveport Mudbugs in North American Hockey League (“NAHL”) action. Harper will headline the event, including a V.I.P. Meet & Greet session with a select number of fans.
Also announced: All Elite Wrestling (“AEW”) star Sammy Guevara will be appearing at Pro Wrestling Night! Both Harper and Guevara will be signing autographs for fans during the game.

Harper, real name Jonathan Huber, signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (“WWE”) in 2012, originally appearing in NXT as part of The Wyatt Family with current Universal Champion Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan. The trio was called up to the main roster in July 2013 and found much success, feuding with superstars like John Cena, The Shield, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Brock Lesnar and more. Harper won the Intercontinental Championship from Dolph Ziggler on Raw on Nov. 17, 2014, and along with Rowan (now known together as the “Bludgeon Brothers”), captured his second WWE Tag Team Championship in a triple threat match against The Usos and The New Day at WrestleMania 34 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Outside of professional wrestling, Huber has also acted for various projects, including starring in the 2018 movie Mohawk (currently available on Netflix), and a guest role on Damnation on USA Network (2017).
IceRays Pro Wrestling Night presented by Bud Light will also include in-ring matches presented by Gulf Coast Wrestling Alliance (“GCWA”), a longtime independent wrestling company in the Corpus Christi area. Autographed prizes from various wrestling organizations will be given away at the game through fan contests. Wrestling theme music will be played during game stoppages. A special IceRays jersey signed by AEW stars will be auctioned to raise money for charity—details to be announced soon.
