A group of nans formed an unlikely friendship with a pro wrestler during an emotional trip to Las Vegas to scatter a late husband's ashes.

The four women - Lynn Crawford, 71, Susie Matthews, 73, Rose Sulley, 74, and Christine Goodwin, 80 - who have been close friends for more than 40 years, were travelling to the city to scatter the ashes of Rose's late husband.

But their journey began with confusion. 

Upon boarding the flight from London Heathrow, the women discovered a stranger in one of the seats they believed they had booked - professional wrestler DeReiss Gordon, known in the ring as Man Like DeReiss.

DeReiss described the nans as "fuming" at first, but the situation quickly softened. After asking for help adjusting her seat, Susie struck up a conversation with him, and he told them he was heading to Las Vegas for WrestleMania week. He invited the women to his show, and they promised they would attend.

The four friends kept their promise and went to the wrestling event.

"We didn't know what was going on," Susie said. "We were all dressed up like Sex and the City, and there were thousands of people walking around with long beards down to their bellies and baseball caps... and there's us, all dolled up. We met up with DeReiss had a chat, and then carried on watching the show."

The encounter might have ended there, but after returning home, the group discovered that DeReiss had taken to social media to try to track them down after losing contact. News travelled fast and over 1 million people saw the social media posts before the nans returned home.

They made plans to meet and invited DeReiss for a tour of Cardiff, which included a visit to Club 3000 Bingo Cardiff.
