Entering Night of Champions: Violent`J

On one night in September every Undisputed Champion is given the opportunity to grab the brass ring and reclaim the glory they once held. This is Night of Champions - an annual event that gathers former title holders into one epic Elimination Contender Battle Royal! The winner will earn the right to advance to the night's main event, where they'll face the reigning Undisputed Champion!

The list of confirmed former champions entering this year's match is growing fast! Kron, ElJobber, The Great Genku, United: Hokey and "The Predator" TonyTheTiger have all confirmed their entry. Now one of the most unexpected challengers can be added to that list!

As one-half of the current Duo Division Champions Violent`J is in the midst of making history! He reunited with long time partner Marz in 2015, beginning a second undefeated streak that inevitably led them to the titles in October.

Team Xtreme has reigned undefeated for the 324 days that followed their win at Supercard 71: Greatness. They beat a Who's Who of the Duo Division on their way to breaking the all-time title reign record with a win at Supercard 80: Tower of Power XI! They're now chasing the milestone of reigning for a full calendar year! Impressive -- but by no means a case for VJ entering Night of Champions!

The Y2Juggalo has been getting distracted ever since he was revealed to be The Invasion trump card at Dead Or Alive IX. His wanderlust was evident a month prior, when he was Runner-Up in the 2016 Mid-Year Grand Slam. He pursued further solo glory in the Summer Grand Slam. As a major figure in The Invasion, he's most recently entered into a feud with Statix and The Alliance.

Of course, these latest deviations from Team Xtreme pale in comparison to Violent`J's original run in The Great Arena in 2012!

He emerged as forebear for the "Silent Invasion" that first brought ICWW fighters into The Great Arena. He won the 2nd Annual UGP Battle Royal at Ultimate Grand Prix II - Test of the Best. This led to a shocking Undisputed Championship win in June, when he upset Crow at Supercard 25: Tower of Power V! He enjoyed a three month reign as champ, defending against ElJobber in the main event of All-Star Summer Showdown, before losing the following month in a rematch! The pair complete a trilogy of title matches, ending their feud at Supercard 29: Violent`J/ElJobber - End Game.

Night of Champions V marks Violent`J's second appearance in the annual match, having entered last year's Champions Battle Royal. Will history remember September 25th as the date Violent`J became a double champion? Or is this just another fracture in his once unbreakable friendship with Marz?
