Pre-Show 85 was supposed to determine seven teams who will challenge the Tower of Power this weekend at Supercard 85. The Challenger 7 is a time honored tradition dating back to the very first Tower of Power event, but a tied match between Shinnokxz & NosajSamoht and Kiara85 & Stealth-Ninja has left the seventeenth Tower short one pair!
League officials have announced today that the stalemated teams will compete in a rematch during this week's Friday Night Fights -- but that the result will not impact The Challenger 7. Instead, officials have begun making alternate arrangements for the seventh position that will be revealed this Sunday, during Supercard 85: Tower of Power XVII itself!
Head official Mick elaborated: "Competition within the Duo Division has been really tight all year and this just proves it. You hardly ever see a tie in two-man matches! Qualifying is about winning and in this instance: I think the replacement pick will be more than adequate! Supercard 85 is going to be a historic event. It's going to be great!"
As is standard, the top ten teams selected by officials will comprise The Tower of Power. The event will start when The Challenger 7 each attempt to run the gauntlet to reach the eleventh and final tier: The Duo Division Championship! Once all teams have competed, the Tower will then turn in on itself, fighting from the bottom to the top until the final team fights for the title. Tower of Power XVII will be extra special, marking the 364th day of "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J's title reign. A successful defense will mean the first ever year-long Championship reign!
Confirmed qualifiers for this weekend's Tower of Power XVII Challenger 7 are:
- "The Alliance" AlbertBeefcake & The_Hurricane
- "The Invasion" Jason_Voorhees & edge
- "The Invasion" Corrupt hydraslash & Corrupt MINION
- Bofh & Dolce
- McDaniel & fraysol
- Piccolo & GohanSon
