1. Poke Wyld kicked off IWC TWENTY-FIVE with a victory over Handsome & Gorgeous in an energetic opening contest. The cowboys got the crowd ready for what was to come!
2. Ganon Jones Jr. made a statement, in his return, by defeating Johnny Mahalo. Mahalo brought the fight, but Ganon proved to be too much and picked up the win. Following the match, Ganon made it clear that he has returned with his sights now set on the IWC Super Indy Championship.
3. The issues between Canaan Kristopher and Anthony Catena exploded before their match could even officially begin, as Canaan attempted to jump Catena before he came through the curtain. The two brawled around ringside and had to be separated by officials, but that was just the beginning. Canaan and Catena fought again during intermission, and later in the evening, their war escalated even further when Catena attempted to put Canaan through a table. What will it take to resolve the issues between these two?!
4. The Jerry Lynn Invitational saw Spencer Slade successfully retain his IWC Super Indy Championship against Zach Nystrom, Austin Blayze, and Andrew Palace in a fast-paced four-way contest. Before the match, Jerry Lynn spoke about how meaningful both IWC and the championship are to him. After Slade retained, by pinning Austin Blayze, Lynn presented the submission specialist with the title in a fitting post-match moment.
5. Bubba the Bulldog & Bulk Nasty retained the IWC Tag Team Championships against Oliver Gray & Jay Bevington. The challengers nearly pulled off the upset, but the veterans used their experience to secure the win. After the match, chaos erupted as the rogue group of “presidents” made a shocking appearance, attacking the champions and causing destruction around ringside before heading into an impromptu intermission.
6. Marcus DeAngelo defeated Wes Barkley in an IWC High Stakes Championship match that saw Barkley’s own stipulation backfire on him. Before the match, Wes chose a stipulation that allowed him to acquire the services of Marcus’ bodyguard, Ox, only for that decision to ultimately work against him. In the end, DeAngelo capitalized and came away with the victory, after Ox choke slammed Barkley.
7. Elijah Dean defeated The Whiz Can in a nearly one-sided contest. An appearance from James Wong nearly opened the door for The Whiz Can to steal the win, but Elijah Dean proved to be too much. After the match, Dean continued the assault by beating down both The Whiz Can and James Wong.
8. Felix Koz scored another huge victory over Bill Collier, again catching him with a roll up to secure the win. After the match, Collier took out his frustration by destroying the Reset Button, leaving Koz to try and gather the broken pieces in a sobering scene that could have major implications moving forward.
9. In the main event, Duke Davis defeated Jami Jameson to become the NEW IWC Heavyweight Champion. Just before the match began, Felix Koz attempted, but was unsuccessful, in activating the now destroyed Reset Button. During the match, Duke overcame the odds and capitalized on the moment with the help of special guest referee Jimmy DeMarco. The victory marked a major turning point at the close of IWC TWENTY-FIVE.
IWC TWENTY-FIVE delivered a night full of chaos, surprises, and major implications as the company celebrated 25 years of history!
