A big three year spectacular takes place on September 16th as Discovery Wrestling celebrates three years of amazing matches, colossal guests and bodyslams. A night that will see the inaugural Discovery Wrestling Women's Champion crowned as four wrestlers compete to make history. Special guests for this night include Ring of Honor star Dalton Castle, former UFC fighter Matt Riddle (who is making his return) and Lisa Marie Varon, the former Victoria in WWE and Tara in TNA, who will be presenting the winner of the Women's Championship match with the prize.
Let's look at the first match announced, the Women's Championship final, and break down the competitors: Women’s Championship Tournament Final – Four Way – Martina vs Sammii Jayne vs Nina Samuels vs Lucy Cole In a tournament that has featured four WWE Mae Young Competitors, Champions from all over the country and they were all vying to become the first Discovery Wrestling Women's Champion. The tournament got off to a rocky start with Candice LeRae, following her win over Viper to qualify, having to pull out of the tournament due to scheduling conflicts. Her replacement was decided after Martina defeated The Amazon Ayesha Raymond in a regular singles match that was deemed worthy of her place in the finals. We've seen Jayla Dark, Toni Storm and Debbie Sharpe also fall short on the way to the final four way match where it's really all to play for. Martina | defeated Ayesha Raymond to qualify* | *replaced Candice LeRae | The Wildcard Current OTT Women's Champion The Session Moth is a controversal figure in professional wrestling. Whether you think she's setting back women's wrestling by five years or taking the world by storm you never know what to expect from Martina. She'll be a wildcard in this one with her shenanigans throwing many of the competitors off their game. Sammii Jayne | defeated Toni Storm to qualify | The Favourite Current Pro Wrestling:EVE Champion Possibly the best wrestler in the match, Sammii has been with Discovery Wrestling since inception and has recently been putting on fantastic performances wherever she goes. The Queen of Catch is no stranger to holding championships and has all the ability and skill to tie up then punish anyone that tries to get in her way to becoming the first Discovery Wrestling Women's Champion. The favourite, in my opinion. Nina Samuels | defeated Debbie Sharpe to qualify | The Dark Horse Queen of the Buffet Club When Nina Samuels made her Discovery Wrestling debut, it was expected that she would be the same as her Buffet Club cohorts Uncle Bobby and Gene Munny, however, the Nina Samuels that entered was vicious, destructive and bullied Debbie Sharpe on her way to victory. If she gets into that zone again it may be a matter of time before she gains the title of Women's Champion. Lucy Cole | defeated Jayla Dark to qualify | The Underdog Current PCW Women's Champion The last to qualify, Lucy Cole has an uphill challenge if she's to win. One of the more inexperienced of the quartet, she will have to rely on her opponents not having a lot of footage to work from and devise a strategy to pick apart her opponents weaknesses. Cole has had some championship success though so not one to underestimate by any stretch but certainly looks to be the underdog in this one. Debbie Sharpe vs Ayesha Raymond Not only will a Women's Champion be crowned but the number one contender will also be decided. Two wrestlers that missed out on the final, Debbie Sharpe and Ayesha Raymond. Raymond was off competiting in the WWE Mae Young Classic but was knocked out in the first round. Knocking off Sharpe and heading to a title match might just be the remedy. Debbie hasn't had a lot of luck since turning on Sammii and breaking up the BAE Club, after being mauled by Samuels during the tournament it is time for her to get back on track. The House Of Saynt (Christopher Saynt, Theo Doros & Jayla Dark) vs Michael Chase, Lou King Sharp & ??? A long time coming, Michael Chase has been after The House of Saynt for a long time and now has the chance to break up the stable in Discovery Wrestling. In a stipulation that Christopher Saynt fell into, if he wins Michael Chase can no longer appear in Discovery Wrestling but if he loses then The Patriarch must face Chase on November 5th with his House on the line. With the added mystery on who will be joining Chase's side it could be a long night for The House of Saynt. Maybe it will be a figure from Jayla Dark's past coming back to haunt her… Dalton Castle vs Joe Hendry 'The Party Peacock' from Ring of Honor becomes the latest Ring of Honor star to make their way to Discovery Wrestling. He comes up against Joe Hendry, who returned to his hometown as a fan favourite and helped Joe Coffey earn another Y Division Championship opportunity. Will we see the Local Hero or The Prestegious One on this night? Castle had a small taste of the Edinburgh crowd at War of the Worlds but will coming up against the hometown boy have him on the backfoot from the get go? Uncivil War Qualifier – Triple Threat – Kings of the North (Damien Corvin & Bonesaw) vs The New Age Kliq (Chris Renfrew & BT Gunn) vs Polo Promotions (Jackie Polo & Mark Coffey) The final qualifer for Uncivil War as three top tag teams face off to join Buffet Club, Fight Club and the monstorous team of Dave Conrad & Deviation in the finals. Polo Promotions have had the number of Buffet Club for a number of months now and will like nothing better than to get another chance to get their hands on them. Kings of the North make their Discovery Wrestling debuts and already have a chance to get to the finals of Uncivil War and earn themselves the accolade of Discovery Wrestling Tag Team Champions. The New Age Kliq have only had one match as a team in Discovery Wrestling but it was an all out war with Raymond Rowe and Hanson of War Machine so they've already proven that they aren't afraid to get down and dirty in the capital. A lot of moving parts in this one with any team being heavy favourites to win Uncivil War. Hotter Than Hell Edinburgh Invitational Semi Final – Rampage Brown vs Mikey Whiplash As many have stated 'a main event in any company', two veterans who have seen and just about done it all in British wrestling. Two tough as nails wrestlers who will give every last breath to win. Whiplash is relatively new in Discovery Wrestling having debuted during this tournament, and defeating Matt Riddle, but Rampage was there from the beginning through his battles with Damo (Killian Dain) being the standout feud in the first year of Discovery Wrestling. Expect a bit of everything in this bout and there is no way to predict who will make it to the final. Hotter Than Hell Edinburgh Invitational Semi Final – Chris Ridgeway vs Aspen Faith In contrast with the other semi final, Ridgeway and Faith are two young guys that are sublime to watch wrestle. 'Smashmouth' Ridgeway has his hard kicks and speed whereas 'The King of Catch' likes to slow down the action and pick apart the body slowly and with precision. One of the many contenders for match of the night. The curious thing about this match is, if Aspen Faith wins and then comes out victorious in the final while Lewis Girvan remains Y Division Champion…what happens then? Y Division Championship – Lewis Girvan (c) vs Joe Coffey 'The Iron Man' Joe Coffey's journey to the Y Division Championship continues, both Coffey and Girvan have been the cornerstones of Discovery Wrestling since day one and it's only fitting on the three year anniversary that they do battle once again with the Y Division Championship on the line. As noted by Discovery Wrestling, 'The Best Wrestler In Discovery Wrestling' Lewis Girvan will have been Y Division Champion for 666 days when this event rolls round, so will that mark the end of Girvan's reign or will it just be the beginning of the Discovery takeover by the Kings of Catch? Matt Riddle vs ??? All this PLUS former UFC fighter Matt Riddle will return to Discovery Wrestling. Last time, in his debut, he was defeated by Mikey Whiplash in the Hotter Than Hell Edinburgh Invitational, The King of Bros won't be looking to repeat that result when he returns. Two Pre-Show Matches Those that have VIP tickets will also be treated to two pre-show mystery matches that won't be announced until seats have been taken.
