The Undisputed Championship has arguably never been in greater dispute! Genku has been a controversial champion from the moment he won the title at Supercard 89: Breaking Point -- immediately facing aggressive opposition from VenoMark!
While VM continues to call him a "false god"; Genku also now faces the revelation that he may not have actually won the November Invasion Contender Election!
The possibility of vacating the championship was addressed today when officials confirmed the title will remain with Genku, to be held up in the main event at Pre-Show 90 - Sunday, February 26th.
League officials stressed that although the influence of last year's Invasion Election was taken into consideration, [Genku] earned his shot with a win at Supercard 88: Battle Royale. That noted, they also agreed that circumstances demand that Genku prove himself as soon as possible. Supercard 90: Tower of Power XVIII has already been earmarked for the Duo Division Championship.
VenoMark won't be the only fighter vying for the chance to face the Undisputed Champion! There remains a strong shortlist of contenders all circling the coveted gold with legitimate claim.
- In the chaos of Supercard 89, ElJobber has been somewhat forgotten. The former champion is still riding high on back-to-back 2016 Master's Series and 2017 Grand Slam Launch tournament wins. A rematch could be a very likely outcome.
- If Genku wasn't the true winner of the Invasion Contender Election, then that means "American Nightmare" LordSkarlet won the people's trust to challenge for the gold. He's arguably the most logical choice to clear up doubt surrounding the legitimacy of Genku's championship win.
- Newly crowned KFL Champion "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile made it clear she thinks she should get the title shot, having thwarted The Invasion at the end of last year, and scored a decisive win over Genku at Supercard 87: End Of Days! Nobody was more opposed to the Invasion Election.
- "The Chosen One" Damo was competitive as Runner-Up to the 2017 Grand Slam Launch. He followed it up with a confident victory over former champion DECEPTION at Supercard 89. He considers himself the "Chosen One" to be champ, and could very well be setting himself up to be the wind of change ahead of Ultimate Grand Prix!
- Even Shen_DuHBK has a convincing case for an Undisputed Championship shot. As the whistle blower who identified vote tampering in leaked Election data, he's at the epicenter of calls to strip Genku of the gold. He also holds two unanswered victories over the champion as recent as January!
One thing's certain: 2017 Battle Royale winner The_Purple_Bunny will be waiting patiently for his opportunity to pounce. Whoever walks away with the Undisputed Championship will be in prime position to face The United's newest recruit in the main event of Ultimate Grand Prix VIII!
