Weekly Rankings Recap - 9/18/2016

Non-title matches always risk a champion's credibility, and DECEPTION has to be feeling the heat after the main event loss at Pre-Show 83: Generation Warfare! It was exciting to see the complete New Generation in action for just the second time since they reunited in the first quarter, but it may not be worth it, especially one week before DECEPTION defends the title against a former champ at Supercard 83: Night of Champions V!

"American Nightmare" LordSkarlet has really come into his own over the past month, so it was easy to forget Statix only dropped the KFL Championship in a 6-man Eliminator -- LordSkarlet's third attempt. It's a big development in the battle between The Invasion and The Alliance, which seems to be heating back up. The Alliance may be fewer in number, but they remain a strong group.

It's been 329 days since "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J won the Duo Division Championship -- keeping The Invasion in the gold thanks to VJ's affiliation. DaemonX & Banging look strong as #1 Contenders, using their status to extend the defense cycle towards a full calendar year for the champs! They handled The New Generation well, but still have the test of Ratt & NightHawk at Supercard 83!

Ratt's Duo Division pursuit means he won't be in the Night of Champions Battle Royal -- a significant factor in opening the match up. So far we have three Hall of Famers entering: Kron, Mimik and Violent`J. The Great Genku will be chasing a title rematch against DECEPTION, taking great confidence from his Pre-Show 83 win!

The status of the Division 2 Championship is up in the air, but several fighters have been scrambling to earn the shot. Recent former champions avenger45 and SubScorpTile look likely as contenders after Politics' loss.
