Key Storylines

It’s the biggest event in bull riding, and it all begins here! The Top 15 bull riders in the Unleash The Beast World Championship standings at the end of the four Eliminations rounds advance directly to the Championship at AT&T Stadium on May 17-18, where the World Champion will be crowned. That’s the big cutoff this weekend for riders hoping to avoid Ride for Redemption on May 14-15, including two-time World Champion Jose Vitor Leme (No. 18), 2022 World Champion Daylon Swearingen (No. 28), 40-year-old Joao Ricardo Vieira (No. 31), and the top three contenders in the Rookie of the Year race. Can Eduardo Aparecido hold onto the last spot, or can anyone climb up and usurp him?
