Bradenton, Fla - UCW's Universal Fury 14 commenced with passion and excitement for the fans with several unexpected surprises, which included the shocking return of former UCW Universal Champion Jake Sterling in the main event.
Shayne Stetson (W/Steve Sterling) vs Sean Scott:
The opening contest of the event started with Shayne Stetson and Sean Scott in singles action. Both superstars looked to gain some momentum. Stetson, who fell in the quarterfinals of the UCW Universal Championship Tournament to Puma Johnson, was still looking for his first win since joining UCW while Scott, who lost the UCW Intergalactic Championship at Universal Fury 13, was looking to regain his chance for another future championship run.
Before the match began, Scott would hype the crowd up to make fun of Stetson and Steve Sterling, who accompanied Stetson, before handing his signature chiffon scarf to the audience.
As the match went underway, Scott was in control at the beginning until a brief distraction by Steve Sterling would give Stetson a slight advantage on Scott's arm. Stetson looked to have the win after a superkick, but Scott was able to kick out by a hair.
As Stetson and Steve Sterling kept pandering to antagonize the crowd, their overconfidence took a turn and backfired on them as the 'Black Diamond' hit the Cash Out for the three-count and the victory.
KJ Mack vs Cam Fox:
After losing in a triple threat match to Kai Price for the UCW Intergalactic Championship, Cam Fox was still very unhappy about losing the title to his former New Dynasty tag team partner.
In frustration, Fox took Price out before coming out to the ring with the championship around his shoulder. After expressing his frustrations towards the fans about how he should be the champion and not Price, he declared that he was the true champion and would "defend" the title against his opponent KJ Mack, who emerged from the audience.
Although Mack was able to gain some momentum from the crowd, it would ultimately not be enough as Fox would secure the victory with a swinging fisherman neckbreaker for the win to "retain" the championship.
Reigns Announces Tag Team Championship Match: Following the match, Steve Sterling and Stetson talked with UCW Commisioner 'Hurricane' Heather Reigns backstage with Zule being in the equation. Reigns made the decision to pair Stetson and Zule together for a tag team match against the Miami Boyz with the UCW Tag Team Championships on the line while Steve Sterling prepared for his match.
Steve Sterling (W/Shayne Stetson) vs Billy Bob Hill (UCW Universal Championship Tournament Quarterfinals):
Heading into the third match Steve Sterling, who is looking to win the UCW Universal Championship for the second time, came in with a challenge in the UCW Universal Championship Tournament as he face the rough, rowdy and downright dangerous Appalachian in Billy Bob Hill.
As the match commenced, Hill looked to be in control at the beginning with the crowd behind him until Stetson started his interference and distracted Hill midway through to help Steve. Hill would then mount a comeback with a little do-si-do and three release German suplexes until Commissioner Reigns caused a distraction to Hill and cost him the match over Steve Sterling as the Jersey Jewel hit a cutter for the win to advance to the semifinals.
Jayson Steele vs Bounty Hunter:
The last true Patriot's losing streak continues to haunt him after dropping Border Patrol Bob following their tag team loss to the Latinos In Full Effect (D Ramos and Vertigo Rivera) at Universal Fury 13. As Steele continued to berate the crowd for being un-Americans, he faced another challenge in the books as newcomer Bounty Hunter made his UCW debut.
The match began with Bounty Hunter giving Steele a hard time until a costly mistake gave Steele a moment to arrogantly gloat towards the crowd, but Bounty Hunter would find a way to gain the momentum back in his favor as he sealed the victory with a running powerslam and diving fist drop for the pin.
Shayne Stetson and Zule (W/Steve Sterling) vs Miami Boyz (UCW Tag Team Championship):
Tensions continued to rise between Zule, Stetson and Steve Sterling heading into their match with the Miami Boyz for the UCW Tag Team Championship. While the inaugural champions had Xander Maddox and Baby Keef represent the team and defend the titles, Zule and Stetson continued their quarrel with both men shoving each other before the match began until Steve Sterling got them back on the same page.
As the match commenced, Maddox and Keef started off hot with quick tags, despite Zule breaking up the pin five times. It would be short for a moment as Steve Sterling continued to interfere in the match until Puma Johnson and Chris Malachite intervened to prevent Sterling's interference.
After Stetson made the tag, the heated tension resurfaced as Zule began to fume with Sterling causing a distraction as Maddox hit Project Acts on Stetson before Keef hit the Air Drop for the win as the Miami Boyz retained the tag team titles.
After the match, Sterling and Stetson continued to quarrel with Zule, which set him up to do a double chokeslam on them. Commissioner Reigns pleaded with Zule to stop him, but he defiantly chokeslammed both Sterling and Stetson before walking out of the ring.
Joey Ozbourne vs Jake Sterling (UCW Universal Championship Tournament Quarterfinals):
Ozbourne, with a new look as the 'Birmingham Bastard', was set for the main event in the quarterfinals of the UCW Universal Championship Tournament. Originally, he was originally set to face Jake St. Patrick however St. Patrick stated via video message that he was not cleared to compete and would need surgery.
While it looked like Ozbourne was going to win via forfeit and advance to the semifinals, the UCW Universe would get a shocking surprise as the 'Top Dawg' Jake Sterling would make his return to the ring and replace St. Patrick in the tournament.
As the match began, Sterling would start off strong but Ozbourne would counter and injury his neck. The roar of the crowd would give Sterling the strength he needed as he was able to hit his finisher for the win and advanced to tournament semifinals.
After the match, all four semifinalists, Steve Sterling, Jake Sterling, Puma Johnson and Drago met in the ring with Jake Sterling and Johnson standing tall to close the show.
