What matches are happening at High Stakes?
MCW World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender Match: Tommy Knight vs. Caveman Ugg
After their match at Icons ended early due to the interference of Slex, they battle again – this time to see who will face Slex for his championship.
World Tag Team Championship: The ICON$ (C) vs. The Natural Classics
Following their successful defence against The Parea, MCW GM Rocky Menero and Adam Brooks defend against another set of former tag champs – Stevie and Tome Filip – The Natural Classics.
Women’s Championship: DELTA (C) vs. Erika Reid
The relentless Delta faces her first challenger for her Women’s Championship in a little while, and The Dreamtime Voodoo Witch is more than a worthy contender.
Tuckman vs. Robbie Thorpe
Robbie Thorpe has taken interesting counsel in the form of MCW GM Rocky Menero as he prepares to face Sydney’s well-respected Tuckman.
Edward Dusk vs. Lucky O’Leary
Dusk continues his quest towards the MCW World Heavyweight Championship, but his next opponent might have luck on his side.
Mitch Waterman vs. Mick Moretti
At Icons, Waterman beat both of Mick Moretti’s proteges, but now he takes on the main man himself.
Jarvis vs. The Shensational Shen
The new Junior Vice President of General Management has chosen his own opponent in the spectacular and Shensational Shen.
What matches have additional stakes to them?
They all do! Before each match, the Big Wheel will spin, and where it lands will determine the stakes for the match. And those stakes could dramatically change things!
Will merchandise be available?
Yes, we will have merchandise available to purchase with credit card payments only. We also have T-shirts available online through Merch Bunny
