Pre-Show 98 Gets Xtreme This Sunday

The stars will be out this Sunday at Pre-Show 98 for a headlining contest of trios that will be all about Xtreme Unity!

The challenge was made during yesterday's edition of Monday Night Games, where Team Xtreme were on the hunt for their Pre-Show 97 opponents: The_Purple_Bunny & Mimik! The United duo formed their alliance as a perfect plan to dominate next weekend's Night of Champions match and it turns out they have quite the chemistry! They're one of only three teams to have ever beaten Marz & Violent`J in The Great Arena! With Shaggy2Dope joining the pair, it'll be teams of three going head-to-head, with Artanix recruited by The United!

Officials have also announced a #1 Contender's match for the Division 2 Championship that will pit "Mad Dog" Onryo against rival contender G0LD! If Onryo wins, he'll be able to go for solo gold while New Generation partner DECEPTION chases the Undisputed title shot of the Night of Champions Battle Royal!

Controversial Duo Announced To Challenge Champs

Uncertainty has clouded the picture surrounding the Duo Division Championship in the build to Supercard 98: Night of Champions VI. Today officials have made a surprising announcement to illuminate the situation: declaring "The Invasion" DaemonX & Shen_DuHBK the challengers!

The pair will pursue a grudge most recently kindled by the August 11th edition of Friday Night Fights, where CCShadow & Scott-Howell participated in a wining trios match against The Invasion!

DaemonX & Shen_DuHBK don't have a lot of experience competing together as a duo, but they earned a trios grudge win against the ICWW All-Stars on September 1st, and followed it up with a strong victory against rxvt & deadly during this week's Friday Night Fights.

With DECEPTION's entry into the Night of Champions Battle Royal, The New Generation will step aside for the unknown quantity of The Invasion! Will their unfamiliarity provide the x-factor needed to end CCS & Howell's new Duo Division Dynasty? Find out in The Great Arena - Sunday, September 24th!

Supercard 98: Night of Champions VI (September 24th, 2017):
- [To Be Determined] versus "The Chosen One" Damo (c) [Undisputed Championship]
- Night of Champions Contender Battle Royal feat. "The Hitman" DECEPTION, "The United" The_Purple_Bunny & Mimik
- ElJobber versus Genku [#1 Contender]
- "The Invasion" DaemonX & Shen_DuHBK versus CCShadow & Scott-Howell (c) [Duo Division Championship]

DECEPTION Enters Night of Champions

"The Hitman" DECEPTION reunited with his former Duo Division Championship partner "Mad Dog" Onryo just last July, following up their All-Star Summer Showdown win with Runner-Up turns in both the 2017 Summer Grand Slam and Grand Slam [Doubles] Duo Division event!

With so much success in both fields, it was obvious opportunities were stacking up for DECEPTION, but how would he use them? Today he revealed himself as the first official entrant into the Night of Champions Battle Royal. The winner of the match will be granted an Undisputed Championship match in the same night's main event!

Credentials:
DECEPTION first rose to top title contention as unexpected Runner-Up of the controversial King of the Death Match tournament in 2014! It wasn't until 2016 that he finally claimed his first Undisputed Championship win at Supercard 76: Ratt in a Cage! The title victory came by sheer force of charisma after a tenacious fight to the finish of Supercard 75: Tower of Power XV! The rematch opportunity not only delivered DECEPTION to his first solo title, but also the main event of Ultimate Grand Prix VI -- where he secured a stunning title defense against Hall of Fame legend Kron!

History:
DECEPTION was still Undisputed Champion during last year's Night of Champions V, where he successfully defended the title against Battle Royal winner Hokey. That means this year will be his first time competing in the Night of Champions Contender Battle Royal! He'll have to rely on his wits if he's to fare well in the match, but being a complete unknown could also work in his favour!

For the first time in history eligibility for the Night of Champions Battle Royal will be extended to both former Undisputed Champions and former ICWW International Champions! The only way to find out who wins is to be here later this month for Supercard 98: Night of Champions VI!

Supercard 98: Night of Champions VI (September 24th, 2017):
- [To Be Determined] versus "The Chosen One" Damo (c) [Undisputed Championship]

- ElJobber versus Genku [#1 Contender]

ICWW Champs Eligible for Night of Champions

In August, the 15th Anniversary of ICWW was celebrated at Dead Or Alive X. Now league officials have confirmed the celebration will continue into September: announcing eligibility for the Night of Champions Battle Royal will be open this year to former ICWW International Champions!

The contender's match has been open to former Undisputed Champions since the inaugural Night of Champions in 2012. It became part of a one-night double header the following year, launching the Battle Royal winner directly into a title match in the same night's main event!

The additional eligibility will increase a field of fifteen former champions, expanding beyond past Hall of Fame winners: Kron, Ratt, and Hokey! More information about the newly eligible fighters will be made available in the coming week. Check out past events for some of the other contenders:

Greek Crisis Return For Summer Payback

For the past five months: maxilos has been forced to fight alone as a one-man crisis -- but at All-Star Summer Showdown his partner proXade will finally make his long awaited return!

The Greek Crisis became hapless victims of a reunion that became a Red Reign after Supercard 90: Tower of Power XVIII. It was there Sekktor & hydraslash reunited as the nightmare of The Fallen lifted and a new force combined to challenge the ranks of The Great Arena! In their hubris, Sekktor & hydraslash cut through The Tower of Power -- striking proXade down in a devastating defeat that eliminated The Greek Crisis from the #8 rung!

Sekktor learned what it's like to lose a partner during the April 24th edition of VS United. The loss of hydraslash set Sekktor & The Red Reign on a path of war - unable to forgive the accident that put him on the injured list. Now a Greek war comes to the hypocrite at All-Star Summer Showdown, with legoslayer10 stepping in to second the guilty Sekktor!

It's one of two big returns this weekend! Artanix will also return to join The United in their Survival Sequence match against The Invasion! PLUS: Chairman Mick steps back into the fighting arena for the first time in years to answer the challenge of Genku and The Invasion!

Supercard 97: All-Star Summer Showdown takes place this weekend! The main event pits "Champion of Champions" Poasty against "The Chosen One" Damo in a hugely anticipated Undisputed Championship match! PLUS: VenoMark takes ElJobber into the Steel Cage; Kron challenges CaTigeReptile to be an All-Star; Ratt & NightHawk return for a rematch with the Duo Division Champions -- and so much more! Be here for all the results Sunday, August 20th!

Chairman Books Summer Showdown With Genku

It's a rivalry that's been brewing since Ultimate Grand Prix VII, but for a little while it looked like it might not happen! Genku has been trash talking Chairman Mick since the beginning of April, but when the vitriolic Invasion fighter issued a challenge to fight at August's special Dead Or Alive X -- the Chairman was dismissive.

At DOAX; The Chairman sent one of Genku's old rivals, and ICWW All-Star, Violent`J in his place. In confident victory, Genku boldly declared Mick was a washed up fighter, a failure as Chairman - and a coward as a man! Insults personal enough to finally provoke The Chairman to fight!

This Sunday at All-Star Summer Showdown: Genku will finally get his chance to lay hands on Chairman Mick when the league official returns to competition for the first time in five years!

Mick's return comes with a small catch! To lay hands on The Chairman, Genku will have to first ensure four legendary ICWW All-Stars are beaten as part of a 5-on-5 Survival Sequence!

In an official statement, Chairman Mick said Genku and The Invasion have been allowed to run their mouths for far too long. They've only been able to do so because he has allowed it, and at All-Star Summer Showdown he's finally going to do something about. Genku has consistently disrespected the ICWW All-Stars. His old running buddies are more than happy to help shut The Invasion down.

It's one of two big Survival Sequence matches added to the Summer card! After announcing their intentions during last night's Monday Night Games: The United will also team to dismantle The Invasion in a team bout that will see the return of Artanix!

The heat will finally be on this Sunday when the Supercard of the Summer kicks off August 20th! The main event headlines with "Champion of Champions" Poasty taking on "The Chosen One" Damo for the Undisputed Championship! Poasty holds a win over the Undisputed Champ, but has the sudden cash-in of his Royal Roulette opportunity come too soon?

As ICWW celebrates its 15th Anniversary: the All-Stars will be all over this weekend's event! "The Pacific Connection" Oozaru & Banging will have a target on their back as the next generation of Duo Division rivals attempts to make a name for themselves! Marz takes a bitter DOAX rivalry to the next level when he challenges United: The_Purple_Bunny! And once beloved AlbertBeefcake embraced Evil to earn a KFL Championship shot against United: Mime! All this and so much more! Don't miss any of the action this Sunday from Supercard 97: All-Star Summer Showdown!

DOAX Spawns 3 Big Summer Matches

This week's Dead Or Alive X was a huge special event, but it gets even bigger in just over a week at Supercard 97: All-Star Summer Showdown! DOAX ended with the return of Ratt & NightHawk for a huge Duo Division Championship announcement - but that isn't the only match coming out of the anniversary special!

Marz is a Hall of Fame legend known for holding the longest reigns as ICWW International and Duo Division Champion! He went to Royal Roulette to earn a shot at the Undisputed Championship, but got squeezed out in the final four. It all happened again in a three-way battle at Dead Or Alive X, and he's had enough! United: The_Purple_Bunny has been driven to pursue his 7th Undisputed title win in 2017 -- but at All-Star Summer Showdown he'll have to answer to Marz!

The Pacific Connection went to Dead Or Alive X to win the Duo Division Championships, but there's just something about CCShadow & Scott-Howell they can't beat! Now the target is on their back as burgeoning contenders collide at All-Star Summer Showdown! Jammer2Omega & Porygonix got the better of "The Invasion" Jason_Voorhees & edge at Supercard 96, but with Oozaru & Banging to contend with in a three-way match -- any team could win the all-star battle!

In the minds of some: "The New Generation" DECEPTION & Onryo are the team to beat since they reunited at Royal Roulette! They teamed to beat Onryo's white whale Mark & Leroy -- a match Baraka_MK & MKMaster took as a deliberate diss to them! BMK & MKM picked up their own victory at Dead Or Alive X, and if BMK's former allies want to play it that way they will meet their kismet at All-Star Summer Showdown!

Three massive new matches for the Supercard spectacular of the Summer! They join a stacked card with VenoMark inviting ElJobber into the world of the Steel Cage, Kron hoping to make an all-star out of CaTigeReptile, and a highly anticipated Undisputed Championship main event between "The Champion of Champions" Poasty and the "Chosen One" Damo!

Be here tomorrow for Pre-Show 97: Summerfest 2017, and stay tuned for developments throughout the week as we blast through the final week before Sunday, August 20th and this year's All-Star Summer Showdown!

LordSkarlet Confronts Nightmare at Supercard 97

"Red Nightmare" LordSkarlet has a recurring problem and it goes by the name TonyTheTiger!

A string of brutal matches from The Spring Classic to Supercard 94 forced LordSkarlet to withdraw from the 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam in June. He made his triumphant return during the 2017 Royal Roulette match in July, where he hoped to secure his first Undisputed Championship opportunity!

A goal cut short by "The Predator" TonyTheTiger who eliminated LordSkarlet.

It isn't the first time TonyTheTiger has spoiled the rise of LordSkarlet. The Predator was responsible for initiating a devastating downward spiral at Ultimate Grand Prix VI, denying LordSkarlet the UGP Battle Royal he was favourite to win!

For once again interfering in his success, and delaying the dawning Red Reign - TonyTheTiger will be forced to endure a Red Nightmare at All-Star Summer Showdown! LordSkarlet vows to destroy The Predator at Supercard of the Summer and restore his path to a Red Reign over The Great Arena!

TonyTheTiger will also relieve the final stages of the Royal Roulette match when he battles United: The_Purple_Bunny and Marz at Dead Or Alive X - tomorrow! The special event celebrates the 15th Anniversary of ICWW! Royal Roulette winner and "Champion of Champions" Poasty will compete for the Undisputed Championship when he cashes-in in the main event of All-Star Summer Showdown against "The Chosen One" Damo!

Supercard 97: All-Star Summer Showdown (August 20th, 2017):

Kron Challenges Next Summer All-Star

We last saw Kron during the 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam, where he fought valiantly to reach the July Semi Finals, ultimately losing to eventual tournament winner - Oozaru!

Kron very nearly faced elimination a round earlier - narrowly escaping a competitive Quarter Final test from "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile! Although he successfully advanced in the tournament; the nature of CTR's competitive Quarter Final stuck with the Hall of Famer.

Kron has competed with the best fighters in league history, and he's convinced that CaTigeReptile could've beaten him on another day. He plans to give her the opportunity to do just that - under the grand spotlight of this year's All-Star Summer Showdown!

The Hall of Fame legend believes CTR just needs one good win to propel her to the highest echelon of competition - but this won't be any gimme! Kron plans to bring his A-game to the Supercard of the Summer, where he's competed in high-profile matches since the event's inception!

CaTigeReptile has also competed at every installment of the August major, receiving the first major shot of her career in the main event of 2014 All-Star Summer Showdown! She was soundly defeated by Undisputed Champion m0s, typifying a difficulty with winning the big matches.

CTR only received one more chance to challenge for the top title, in 2015. She lost, but many feel she had her best year competing in 2016, battling The United and The Invasion throughout the majority of the year. She was widely viewed as a top contender after defeating Genku at Supercard 87: End of Days, but timing worked against her, leading to an inconsistent 2017.

A victory over Kron at All-Star Summer Showdown could be the beginning of something huge for "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile. Will she finally prove herself as a fighting all-star -- or will Kron shatter her dreams to stardust? It's sure to be one compelling competitive contest at the Supercard of the Summer -- Sunday, August 20th at Supercard 97: All-Star Summer Showdown!

Supercard 97: All-Star Summer Showdown (August 20th, 2017):
- "Champion of Champions" Poasty versus "The Chosen One" Damo (c) [Undisputed Championship]
- VenoMark versus ElJobber [Steel Cage Fight]
- Kron versus "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile

Dead Or Alive X Full Card Announcement

The card will also put many ICWW alum in the spotlight, with International Champion Marz reprising his role from the Royal Roulette final four when he battles "The Predator" TonyTheTiger and United: The_Purple_Bunny in the semi main! Fellow Hall of Famer Rockey316 will also make his heavily promoted return to challenge for the KFL Championship!

After hosting last year's Dead Or Alive IX: the newest incarnation of The Invasion will answer the challenge of bitter feuds, and competitive rivalries. None will be bigger than two solo face-offs as Statix gets another shot at the nefarious would-be Black King DaemonX, and The_Hurricane goes face-to-face with an fallen ICWW icon - and his former friend and tag team partner - the newly re-christened Evil AlbertBeefcake!

The United have had issues with The Invasion during the Monday Night Games, and United: Murdoink will take the responsibility to represent his team in a clash with Loopster!

DOAX will also host an exciting exhibition as "Wild Pegasus" Zentile revisits his Pre-Show 96: Heat Up Scramble loss with a grudge match against King Ken! Zentile has been a man fighting on the edge for a long time. No man has been able to break him, but King Ken may just have to!

PLUS: Jason_Voorhees & edge continue their rise to the top of the Duo Division ranks when they challenge "The New Generation" DECEPTION & Onryo. Former New Gen fighter Baraka_MK will also team with MKMaster to once again face his UGP demon of Mark & Leroy!

All this - plus so much more! Be here at the special time of Thursday, August 10th for a very special 15th Anniversary celebration of the organization that redefined fighting, and helped pave the way for The Great Arena! It all goes down at the Supercard-like special: Dead Or Alive X!

VenoMark Issues Summer Cage Showdown

At Supercard 96: Royal Roulette, ElJobber became the official #1 Contender to the Undisputed Championship with a hard earned victory over VenoMark. The plan was to get a championship rematch against "The Chosen One" Damo, but that all changed in an instant when "Champion of Champions" Poasty cashed-in his Royal Roulette title opportunity.

Now ElJobber has been forced to wait his turn - and it's the perfect second chance opportunity for VenoMark!

He knows ElJobber is a tremendous fighter who beat him in the #1 Contender's match. He also knows just how badly ElJobber wanted to get another round with Damo. So did he! Poasty's cash-in means a second chance -- but VenoMark knows if he's going to beat ElJobber at All-Star Summer Showdown - he needs to go to a dark place - and bring ElJobber with him!

ElJobber is a pioneer of the Iron Man Death Match, but in 2014, VenoMark entered his domain and won the only King of the Death Match tournament! Then in 2016, VenoMark pioneered his own path: An undefeated streak that has claimed The_Purple_Bunny, Mimik, ShawnMichaels, and even "The Chosen One" Damo!

It's time for ElJobber to enter VenoMark's world! Time for the Iron Man to face a new metal. The metal of the Steel Cage!

For the first time in his career ElJobber will enter the Steel Cage with a personal escort from one of the only men to have mastered its malicious confines! VenoMark has been locked inside the torturous construct four times before - and emerged almost unscathed! Will the Steel Cage be a secret weapon in VenoMark's quest for the Undisputed Championship - or his ultimate undoing?

The record smiles upon VenoMark, but at All-Star Summer Showdown - who knows what will happen? It's all part of a massive season built around the Supercard of the Summer!

- VenoMark d. Mimik - Supercard 77: Ultimate Grand Prix VI (Apr 3, 2016)

Poasty Announces Championship Challenge

"The Franchise" Poasty went to last night's Friday Night Fights to address his long term plans for the championship opportunity he earned at Supercard 96: Royal Roulette. Instead, his moment was interrupted with a spiteful attack by Genku, whose place in the match was lost at the last moment.

If he'd been able to: Poasty would've revealed that his career threatening injury last year taught him a lot about knowing his limits. He was concerned about going for too much, too soon. A sentiment echoed by some experts, who even questioned his aspirations to enter the Royal Roulette match.

Many past Royal Roulette winners have cashed-in quickly, coming away with nothing to show for their short term triumph. Yet, his dominant rebuttal of Genku's attack during Friday Night Fights has actually bolstered Poasty's confidence!

Poasty feels he showed he has no limits at Supercard 96, eliminating Hall of Fame legend Marz and one of the most accomplished fighters in history: The_Purple_Bunny! Further more he's shown he can beat the reigning Undisputed Champion - earning an impressive victory against Damo in the Second Round of the 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam!

The upset win earned then-Div.2 Champion Poasty the moniker of "Champion of Champions" and he feels it's time to put that name to the test!

It's going to one massively anticipated main event rematch when "The Champion of Champions" Poasty takes on "The Chosen One" Damo in the main event of All-Star Summer Showdown!

Poasty may have a victory over Damo pushing him on, but Damo did just defeat the Mid-Year Grand Slam winner who ended Poasty's run! The Chosen One has spent 2017 quietly proving himself as a dominant Undisputed Champion. Will Poasty rise to the top to go 2-0, or is the blue chip stock of The Franchise headed for a fall?

#1 Contender ElJobber will have to wait his turn as the Royal Roulette winner cashes-in his title opportunity to headline the Supercard of the Summer! It's the first exciting match announced for what's sure to be another arena blockbuster! Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks as we charge towards August!

Supercard 97: All-Star Summer Showdown (August 20th, 2017):
- "Champion of Champions" Poasty versus "The Chosen One" Damo (c) [Undisputed Championship]

Genku Challenges Mick to Fight

For a fleeting moment after Pre-Show 96: Heat Up Scramble, things finally seemed to be going Genku's way. With a confident victory over TonyTheTiger, he'd secured guaranteed qualification into this year's annual Royal Roulette match. After a string of setbacks, it seemed his Undisputed Championship fate was his to control again!

It all went wrong during the July 21st edition of Friday Night Fights, with a stunt intended to send a message to Mick that backfired horribly! Instead of mocking the former "Michael Lucifer" with the decimation of low ranked fighter Onimike -- Genku was embarrassed with an upset loss, and told his Royal Roulette Qualification had been on the line!

Adding insult to injury: the random draw that entered TonyTheTiger into the 2017 Royal Roulette match failed to do the same for Genku. He's calling the omission "the final straw".

Genku's been convinced Mick has been conspiring against him for months. He's calling Supercard 96 just the latest in a long line of insults and screw jobs. He's sick of the Chairman giving old ICWW failures like Oozaru "unearned title shots" so he can "relive his sad glory days of fighting, which weren't even that great" and not nearly as great as Genku's. Most of all, he's sick of being denied his rightful reign as Undisputed Champion and it's time Mick paid for it.

Genku has challenged Chairman Mick to stop hiding behind his power and step into The Great Arena to fight him at Dead Or Alive X!

The special event will mark the 15th Anniversary of ICWW: the organization where Mick reigned as a three-time World Champion. It's also an event where Genku is actually undefeated, having beaten ShawnMichaels (DOAV), Mimik (DOAVI), Rockey316 and DigbyRigby (DOAVII), and VenoMark (DOAVIII). Will it be the site of his next victory? Mick is yet to respond.

Special: Dead Or Alive X (August 10, 2017):
- Genku versus Chairman Mick

FNF Sparks Team Feuds for Supercard 96

The July 14th edition of Friday Night Fights was filled with fire and fury, and if anybody thought it was going to end there -- they were sorely mistaken! Three new matches have been confirmed for Supercard 96: Royal Roulette as a direct consequence of a big night of action!

Jerrod & SubMan799 were united by a common enemy when they were both eliminated from the 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam. After announcing their union on June 30th, they fended off two of the hottest teams in the Duo Division to confirm a Championship match against CCShadow & Scott-Howell at next Sunday's event!

"The Invasion" Jason_Voorhees & edge were the first team to stand between Jerrod & SubMan799 and their goals -- a fact Jammer2Omega & Porygonix were none too pleased with! It was a case of adding insult to injury,. given Jason_Voorhees also eliminated Jammer2Omega from the Mid-Year Grand Slam. The result promises to be another exciting Duo Division grudge match when these two teams meet for a blockbuster showdown!

PLUS: After being brutally beaten by The Invasion's superior numbers; Statix & The_Hurricane have recruited an extra ally to even the score! Their search for missing AlbertBeefcake has gone unresolved, with DaemonX remaining elusive since his victory at Supercard 94. They'll take on DX and any two members of The Invasion he chooses in the hopes of finding the next vital clue!

Supercard 96 will also feature the annual Royal Roulette match, which grants the last man standing a championship challenge at the time and place of their choosing! Be here tomorrow, July 16th when ten fighters compete for the right to earn guaranteed qualification at Pre-Show 96: Heat Up Scramble!

Div.2 Championship Match Announced

It was a contest of champions in the Second Round of the 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam, with a result nobody could've expected! Poasty announced himself as a prospective "Champion of Champions" when he defeated reigning Undisputed Champion Damo in a scintillating upset!

Officials have granted "The Franchise" guaranteed entry into this year's Royal Roulette match, but before he fights for the right to add a second title to his waist -- Poasty must first defend the Division 2 Championship against a rival he knows well!

Victory during this week's Monday Night Games impressed all the right people. Now Shinnokxz will get a fresh shot at Div.2 Championship glory when he meets Poasty at Pre-Show 96: Heat Up Scramble!

Shinnokxz met Poasty last month at Supercard 94: Red Reign, where the Div.2 champ picked up a comfortable defense. Poasty has dominated the first half of 2017, with designs for possibly becoming a dual champion! Can Shinnokxz rise to the difficult task ahead, or is the Champion of Champions about to carry gold into Royal Roulette? Be here this Sunday, July 16th to find out!

Pre-Show 96: Heat Up Scramble (July 16th, 2017):

Pre-Show 96 Adds Royal Roulette Qualifiers

From humble beginnings in its first year; the annual Royal Roulette match has grown into a keystone of the Great Arena Summer Season! Thirty-fighters enter randomly at intervals of 90 seconds -- but only one will claim the right to challenge for the championship of their choosing!

The wheel of fate will spin at Supercard 96: Royal Roulette, but before the hopeful challengers of the league wait to see if luck is on their side, a select few will be given the opportunity to make their own in qualification!

Pre-Show 96: Heat Up Scramble will featured five Royal Roulette Qualifying matches, with the winners granted guaranteed entry into the thirty-man draw! There are over 300 registered fighters in the league, meaning a guaranteed spot is well worth the risk!

The rift within The United will continue at Pre-Show 96 when The_Purple_Bunny is forced to face his teammate, rival, and Hall of Fame "King of the Battle Royal" Mimik in a qualification match! In their last encounter Mimik came out on top at Pre-Show 95, but there'll be more than pride on the line when The_Purple_Bunny attempts to qualify! The 2017 Battle Royale winner is on a quest to win his 7th Undisputed title in 2017 and a Royal Roulette win would be the perfect chance!

Genku is convinced league officials are conspiring to keep him from the Undisputed Championship, and the announcement that he'll have to face recent rival "The Predator" TonyTheTiger probably won't relieve his suspicions! The former Royal Roulette winner presumed there was no way officials could deny him the ultimate opportunity, but with a disappointing performance at the Mid-Year Grand Slam, he's been thrown another obstacle in qualifying! TonyTheTiger was a barrier at Tower of Power XIX -- will the outspoken Genku be able to clear him this time?

"The Sword of Europe" Chromatose and NovaStarr have been long-time rivals! At Pre-Show 95, NovaStarr defeated the 2017 Fighter For Europe to qualify for Challenger 7 privileges. Will Royal Roulette qualification be Chromatose's chance to even the score -- or is NovaStarr ready to take another opportunity?

During the Third Round of the 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam, "Portuguese Pegasus" Zentile upset King Ken in a shock elimination! The veteran "King of the World" seized his opportunity during the American Dream Battle Royal to eliminate Zentile! The fabulous feud will continue as the Wild Pegasus gallops toward glory, fighting on the edge against a legend of the first Battle Royale!

PLUS: They went to war during the American Dream Battle Royal! Now The Red Reign's Sekktor and The Invasion's Loopster look to represent their respective factions with the ultimate opportunity on the line! Ten fighters -- but only five will join Division 2 Champion Poasty in the guaranteed draw! Find out who will advance -- this Sunday, July 16th at Pre-Show 96: Heat Up Scramble!

Pre-Show 96: Heat Up Scramble (July 16th, 2017):

Onryo Ready to Return to Duo Division

After their disappointing loss to Mark & Leroy at Ultimate Grand Prix VII: "The New Generation" Baraka_MK & Onryo decided to go their separate ways to better develop their individual fighting skills.

"Mad Dog" Onryo went to Friday Night Fights, where he quickly became a hot prospect in the chase for the Division 2 Championship, while Baraka_MK faced adversity competing during the Monday Night Games. The New Generation had BMK's back, helping him deal with his rivals at Pre-Show 92 and Supercard 92, but it was the emergence of MKMaster that turned BMK's fortunes around.

Around the same time, Onryo's fortunes as a solo fighter began to decline. He was beaten by MKM at Supercard 93: The Chosen, and more recently hit a low when he suffered MAX Damage annihilation at the hands of Kron in the First Round of the Mid-Year Grand Slam!

With the school of hard knocks taking its told, Onryo has called time on his solo apprenticeship. He's ready to resume his career as a Duo Division fighter, and challenge the team that started his journey: Mark & Leroy! To make his comeback, Onryo will reunite with "The Hitman" DECEPTION to reform the team that won the Duo Division Championship way back at Supercard 18!

With Baraka_MK & MKMaster having come up short against Mark & Leroy at Supercard 94: Red Reign, there's sure to be some unspoken competitive rivalry between the pairs, even though they've denied professional jealousies since competing together in VS United [June 5th].

A huge first entry for the Duo Division in the annual Royal Roulette card!

The event will also feature legendary duo The Pacific Connection competing for solo glory when 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam winner Oozaru challenges Damo for the Undisputed Championship, and American Dream Battle Royal winner Banging takes on Mime for KFL gold! Don't miss The Pacific Connection tomorrow when they compete in a special headlining challenge for the Monday Night Games!

- Oozaru versus "The Chosen One" Damo (c) [Undisputed Championship]
- ElJobber versus VenoMark [#1 Contenders]
- Banging versus United: Mime (c) [KFL Championship]
