Former WWE performer Sidney Akeem, who now wrestles under the masked persona Soleil, is preparing for a tag team match at Awesome Championship Wrestling's (ACW) Indypendence Day event on Saturday night. He will team with Dante Casanova to take on the duo known as The Righteous, marking Soleil's first ACW appearance since 2025's Mischief Night event. The bout matters as part of Soleil's continued presence on the independent wrestling circuit following his WWE career, with Akeem discussing the significance of the masked character in comments to Fox News Digital.

The upcoming match follows on from a previous triple-threat contest at Mischief Night, in which Casanova defeated Soleil and a wrestler known as AJZ. That win earned Casanova the right to team with Soleil for this new tag match against The Righteous. Further details of Akeem's comments on the importance of the Soleil character were not fully provided in the available article text.
