The MCW faithful have known for quite some time just how good Ryan Rapid and Mitch Waterman are – since they claimed the MCW Tag Team Championship back at Ballroom Brawl last year, they’ve not only held onto the belts, but improved as a team with every single outing.
But it’s becoming clear what their strategy is – they don’t want to be the best team in MCW, they want to be the best team in the country.
And when you look at the teams they’ve defeated, they can make a strong claim – The Natural Classics, The Dropouts, Strong 94, The ICON$, and most recently their incredible bout against ATO. They aren’t just winning; they’re building a legacy.
However, when you’re at the top, and still looking to go even higher, the eyes of the wrestling world will be on you. And while the Water Rapids have put some big names behind them, there are still some wanting to put them to the test.
Representing Sydney, this team has been tearing through the competition nationwide, earning a fearsome reputation as one of the most dominant forces in the country.
Enter North Shore Wrestling.
Sam Osborne and Will Kiedis are two of the more notorious members of the stable, thanks to their wars against teams like The Velocities, The Dropouts and MK Plus Ultra, and they’re determined to prove that when it comes to tag team wrestling, they have the history and pedigree to defeat a team like the Water Rapids.
And whereas other teams may be daunted, the fact that they get to do it in front of Mitch and Ryan’s home audience at the biggest show of the year, only makes them hungrier for success.
Make no mistake, they are here to take belts back across the border.
This is a huge match between two of the very best tag teams Australia has to offer, and it’s all happening at the biggest MCW show of the year.
This is one you don’t want to miss!
Ballroom Brawl 2026 is live from the Melbourne Pavilion on Saturday 27th June.
Tickets available at MCWTix.com.au
This event is suitable for all ages.
