Coming up...CAGE OF DEATH XV!!!

* All CZW titles have been vacated. Tournaments will begin at Cage of Death to determine the CZW World Heavyweight & Wired TV champions. Those matches will be announced soon, but none of the most recent champions will be eligible for their respective titles, thus guaranteeing new champions!

* Likewise, BLKOUT is also ineligible for the CZW World Tag Team titles. The main event Cage of Death match will be a tag team match to crown the CZW World Tag Team champions as Outlaw Inc. faces OI4K.

* Upon being informed that they have been stripped of their titles AND are unable to challenge for them right away, Drew Gulak & BLKOUT are livid with CZW management. Both claim that management is biased towards them for their past comments & actions directed towards CZW.

* An 8-man tournament is announced to determine the new CZW World Heavyweight champion, beginning at Cage of Death.

Cage of Death XV

* Cage of Death CZW World Tag Team Championship match: Outlaw Inc. vs OI4K

My picks:

Shane Strickland

Danny Havoc

Looking forward to the results!

[three482]

* In response to remarks made by Drew Gulak & BLKOUT in regards to neither being eligible to compete for their recently vacated titles, both are informed of their matches for Cage of Death. BLKOUT must earn a CZW Tag Team Championship match against the winner of the Outlaw Inc./OI4K Cage of Death match by first making it past the Osirian Portal. As for Gulak, while he is unable to immediately challenge for the CZW World Heavyweight Championship, he will be entered into the CZW Wired TV Championship tournament.

* The CZW Wired TV Championship (including its tournament matches) will be contested under Ultraviolent Rules.

* A 4-man tournament is announced to determine the new CZW Wired TV champion, beginning at Cage of Death. Gulak is informed that he will not learn the identity of his opponent until CoD, but he is promised that his opponent is very familiar with him.

[three482]

CAGE OF DEATH XV

* Cage of Death XV opens with Drew Gulak coming to the ring, cutting an impromptu promo about his continued abuse by CZW. He states that he is contractually obligated to compete tonight, but he refuses to employ ultraviolent tactics, refuses to allow CZW to keep him from reclaiming "his" World Heavyweight title, & refuses to wait any longer for his match.

* MASADA's music starts, & he receives a huge ovation from the CZW crowd. Gulak is shocked to see him, & CZW commentators discuss the feud between MASADA & Gulak, & note that Gulak won the World Heavyweight title from MASADA. Gulak was also MASADA's last opponent prior to MASADA's four-month absence due to injury.

CZW Wired TV Championship Tournament Ultraviolent Match
MASADA def Drew Gulak via powerbomb

* MASADA claims a small measure of revenge over Gulak, much to the delight of the CZW faithful, who respond with "Welcome back!" chants.

CZW Wired TV Championship Tournament Ultraviolent Match
Greg Excellent def DJ Hyde via TIGER DRIVER

* A brutal back-and-forth brawl ends with a TIGER DRIVER through a barbed wire table. Afterwards, Hyde extends his hand to Excellent as a token of respect, but Excellent is rightfully reluctant to trust DJ's gesture. The two shake hands, Hyde congratulates Excellent, & DJ leaves the ring as Greg celebrates his victory.

CZW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Match
AR Fox def Danny Havoc via 450 SPLASH

CZW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Match
Shane Strickland def Robert Anthony via 450 SPLASH

* The young up-and-comer Strickland scores what some would consider an upset over former CZW World Heavyweight champion Robert Anthony.

Tag Team Match
BLKOUT (Ruckus [W] & BLK Jeez) def Osirian Portal (Ophidian & Amasis [L]) via DREAM SEQUENCE

* BLKOUT quickly gains control in this bout & never relinquishes it, overpowering the Osirian Portal & backing up their claims to the CZW World Tag Team Championship.

CZW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Match
Matt Tremont def Sami Callihan via count out

* Tremont narrowly escapes disqualification on a few occasions, & connects with a SITOUT POWERBOMB outside the ring that leaves Callihan unable to beat the count.

CZW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Match
Adam Cole w/ Mia Yim def Drake Younger via FLORIDA KEY

* Yim returns to CZW to once again manage Cole & her presence is immediately felt as Adam advances after Mia successfully distracts Younger.

[PROMOTER'S NOTE: I have chosen to use Cole's ROH card instead of his CZW as I feel it more accurately reflects Adam in 2014.]

CZW World Tag Team Championship Cage of Death Match
OI4K (Jake Crist [W] & Dave Crist) def Outlaw Inc (Homicide [L] & Eddie Kingston) via IRISH COFFEE

* OI4K are able to isolate Kingston & practically remove him from the match, allowing them to then direct their focus to Homicide.

[PROMOTER'S NOTE: Kingston's 3 'downs' on level 3 defense, the inability to use (lv) options in CoD matches, & Outlaw Inc's lack of (tag) options on defense played major factors in the outcome of this match. In addition, once Kingston was able to reverse a move & tag out to Homicide, all of their pin saves had been used.]

[three482]

Coming up...ANSWERING THE CHALLENGE!!!

* Answering the Challenge is a fitting title for CZW's next show. Four of CZW's top stars have advanced in the hunt for the vacant CZW World Heavyweight Championship, & by the end of the night, only two will remain. Those two will meet at the CZW 15th Anniversary show to determine who will claim the top spot in CZW.

* Greg Excellent also has a great challenge before him as he will battle former CZW World Heavyweight champion MASADA for the CZW Wired TV title. Once again, all Wired TV title matches will be contested under Ultraviolent Rules, & perhaps no one is better suited for ultraviolent matches than the Ultraviolent Beast himself.

Many more announcements are to come for Answering the Challenge, including a few major surprises. Stay tuned!

[three482]

* Drew Gulak, still irate about being placed in the ultraviolent Wired TV Championship tournament at Cage of Death, has issued an open challenge for Answering the Challenge. Gulak's only stipulation is that the match is held under standard rules.

* After reviewing Mia Yim's role in Adam Cole's victory in his CZW World Heavyweight Championship tournament match at Cage of Death, CZW management has decided to divert her focus elsewhere at Answering the Challenge as she is booked to face returning CZW favorite, LuFisto.

- Adam Cole vs Matt Tremont

* CZW Wired TV Championship match

* Drew Gulak's open challenge

[three482]

* CZW management has promised some huge returns for Answering the Challenge, & we have just learned that OI4K will defend their newly won CZW World Tag Team titles against former CZW World Tag Team champions & one of the best tag teams in wrestling, the Briscoe Brothers!

* Drew Gulak's open challenge for Answering the Challenge has been, well, answered by none other than CZW owner DJ Hyde. Hyde has grown tired of Gulak's constant attacks against CZW's ultraviolent nature, & the boss himself looks forward to defending his brand & shutting Drew up for good.

* DJ Hyde vs Drew Gulak

[three482]

* Upon learning that the Briscoe Brothers have been granted a CZW World Tag Team title match against OI4K at Answering the Challenge, BLKOUT becomes enraged as they believe they're the rightful number one contenders after dominating the Osirian Portal at Cage of Death. Ruckus & BLK Jeez remind CZW management that they were never defeated for the titles, & issue a warning that they won't tolerate being left out of championship contention.

* Another major return has been announced for Answering the Challenge! Former CZW World Heavyweight champion Jon Moxley will return to the Combat Zone, but it won't be an easy fight as he is scheduled to go one-on-one with Eddie Kingston.

* A number one contender's match for the CZW Wired TV Championship has been set for Answering the Challenge! Alex Colon, who was stripped of the championship during the title reset, will face off with Chuck Taylor. Unlike Drew Gulak & BLKOUT, Colon has been strangely quiet since his title was vacated.

* In response to BLKOUT's latest threats towards CZW, Ruckus has been slated to meet the returning Brodie Lee at Answering the Challenge. In addition, BLK Jeez will be banned from the building.
