Summer Championship Preview: Genku vs DECEPTION

It's the Supercard of the Summer! All-Star Summer Showdown is finally here - and one of its most anticipated matches will be the long awaited Undisputed Championship clash!

The long, winding road to contention has brought The Great Genku back for his third Summer main event! He secured the title shot in a contenders match at Supercard 81: Royal Roulette, but that only happened after VenoMark snatched away the opportunity on the July 22nd Friday Night Fights! The experience ingrained a deep paranoia in Genku, who made a deal with the devil - The Invasion - to prevent Royal Roulette winner Hokey from stealing this title shot, as well!

2016 has been the year of Undisputed Champion DECEPTION! The Hitman's path to the top began at Battle Royale, where he made an unannounced return from his 2015 Survivor Sequence Iron Man Death Match loss to Hokey. He quickly followed it up with a star making four eliminations in Tower of Power XV - falling shot in the final battle! A rematch saw him claim his first Undisputed title with a win against ElJobber at Supercard 76: Ratt in a Cage! He then proved it was far from a fluke by beating Kron in the main event of Ultimate Grand Prix VI! He continued his wins against a who's who of former champions: The_Purple_BunnyTonyTheTiger, and VenoMark!

Now the champ hopes to add another accomplished name to his list! The omens are undecided on who the fates will favour! In five years, the Undisputed Championship has only changed hands once at the All-Star Summer Showdown! Yet Genku is on a Summer Streak with three straight wins at an event that has long been one of his best! Genku also has a team elimination over DECEPTION, earned on Day 7 of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games!

It's any one's match to win! Genku is an accomplished veteran catching up on long sought accolades. DECEPTION is the New Generation figurehead whose era has just begun! Who will be Undisputed Champion after All-Star Summer Showdown? We find out tomorrow - Sunday, August 21st at the Supercard of the Summer! Here's how these two titans match-up:
