What matches are taking place at High Stakes?
MCW World Heavyweight Championship
Ricky South vs. Caveman Ugg
Will this be redemption for Ugg as he faces the man who stole his championship, or will South prove that he really is The Man in MCW?
MCW Women’s Championship
Eugenie vs. Aysha with special guest referee Erika Reid
The new champion Eugenie makes her first defence against the always dangerous Aysha. But the big wildcard is the former champion Erika Reid as the special referee – and she’s got history with both women!
MCW Intercommonwealth Championship
Adam Brooks vs. Ryan Rapid
At End Game Ryan Rapid won the opportunity to become the #1 Contender for the Intercommonwealth Championship. Now he faces a brand new champion, and an undisputed legend, in Adam Brooks. This is going to be epic!
MCW Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Tournament
The Physicals vs. Carlo Cannon & Zhan Wen
At the Anniversary pre-show match The Physicals won their way into this tournament, but the young duo have a huge challenge in front of them – both literally and figuratively – in Carlo Cannon and Zhan Wen.
Edward Dusk vs. Rocky Menero
Rocky Menero managed to prevent Edward Dusk from winning the MCW World Championship at Anniversary, and now Dusk wants his revenge!
Jarvis vs. Robbie Thorpe
Jarvis hasn’t forgotten the disrespect that Robbie Thorpe showed him at End Game, and now Thorpe is the next ICON in Jarvis’ sights. Two of the hottest young talents in the country facing each other – yes please!
Lucas Fantasia vs. Lucky O’Leary
Lucky has a strength advantage, while Lucas has speed on his side. For the first time one-on-one at High Stakes, we’ll see who can emerge victorious.
