Bradenton, Fla - New champions were crowned in the main event of UCW's Universal Fury 17 Christmas show as Hot and Trending (Steve Sterling and Shayne Stetson) were able to dethrone the Miami Boyz to win the UCW Tag Team Championship for their first reign. It also marked Stetson's first win in a UCW ring.
Johnny Walker vs Sean Scott:
The show opened up with Johnny Walker pandering to the UCW Universe about how he would always participates in the Christmas show and began to start singing a Christmas carol before he was interrupted by Sean Scott, who apologized to the fans for Walker's carol and promised to take care of him in the ring.
As Scott was about to give out his chiffon scarf to the audience, Walker would get the upper hand and attack him as the match commenced. Walker would start early on offense and work on Scott's neck and upper body. He would then hit his signature Walker Wiggle only for a two count.
The crowd would then rally behind the Black Diamond as he prepared to mount a comeback with a combo of a shoulder tackle, scoop slam, headbutt and leg drop that would lead to a two count. Walker would then cause a distraction for the referee before hitting a low blow and a Death Valley Driver that would lead to another close two count.
As Scott was put in the corner, Walker would try to go for a corner splash that would backfire on. Scott would return the favor with a corner back elbow and running hip attack before he hit Walker with a scissors kick for the victory.
KJ Mack vs Mo Malik:
Newcomers near and far always have a opportunity to shine in UCW and Mo Malik was one of them. Malik already made history as he in fact became the first Moroccan-born wrestler to wrestle for UCW. For his first opponent, he would go against the heavy fan favorite KJ Mack.
As the match commenced, Mack would mount the offense for a moment, but a slight error in corner caused by Malik would give him a chance at offense as he worked on Mack's head and neck
The will and support from the UCW Verse would motivate Mack in the corner as he mounted a comeback with a second round of offense. From there, Mack would hitting a spinning spinebuster on Malik and secure the pinfall victory.
Logan Cruz vs Jonathan Hudson:
After defeating Joey Ozbourne at Universal Fury 16, Logan Cruz was looking to keep his momentum up while ringing in the holiday spirit. Answering the call to the match was another newcomer and it turned out to be Jonathan Hudson. Cruz shared some banter with Hudson and the fans, but Hudson did not take it lightly and would try a sneak attack that would backfire briefly.
As Cruz was gaining momentum, Hudson would find a way to work on his Cruz's lower back as he worked on a Single Leg Boston Crab, but Cruz would then regain the momentum down the stretch. After Hudson hit a discus forearm, Cruz would counter and hit the Right Hand of God to win the match.
The Real Drago vs Leeroy Shogun (UCW Universal Championship):
Following Cruz's win, Leeroy Shogun would look to make it two for two for The Gifted as he challenged The Real Drago for his first UCW Championship match. Drago looked forward to the challenge as both men showed off their feats of strength. Drago would then take control and work the lower body of Shogun before Shogun started to mount a short comeback of his own.
Drago would then hit his signature Torpedo Spear that would land for a two-count. Shocked by the kick out, Drago would decide to end it once and for all as he retained the championship after he locked in a camel clutch where Shogun would pass out.
Jennacide vs Rocky Radley:
Jennacide made her long awaited return to UCW after seven months. As she was enjoying talking to the UCW Verse about the Toys for Tots Drive and Santa Claus, another debut was being made as Rocky Radley would make her debut and would confront Jennacide as they were former rivals. Jennacide however would not stand for any nonsense as she challenged Radley to a match, which Radley accepted.
As the match commenced, both wrestlers decided to do a pose off to the fans before Radley took advantage and knocked Jennacide down off the ropes. Jennacide would then mount an offense outside the ring before Radley countered and targeted Jennacide's legs.
Soon Jennacide would mount a comeback and put Radley on notice that she was not going away as she hit a spinning facelock DDT for the pinfall.
Dagan McCarter vs Hadar Horowitz (UCW Intergalactic Championship Open Challenge):
After retaining his newly won UCW Intergalactic Championship over Johnny Walker in a hardcore match at Universal Fury 16, Dagan McCarter wanted to prove that he is a fighting champion and so in the spirit of the holidays, he issued an open challenge to all the wrestlers for the title. Accepting the challenge for the title was Hadar Horowitz.
Horowitz would try to mount offense and take out McCarter in any way possible to dethrone him, but McCarter would prove once again that he is a fighting champion as he hit the Redemption on Horowitz for the win to retain the championship.
Hot and Trending (Steve Sterling and Shayne Stetson) vs The Miami Boyz (Chris Malachite and Baby Keef w/Puma Johnson) [UCW Tag Team Championship]:
In the main event, Hot and Trending (Steve Sterling and Shayne Stetson) would take one more crack at the Miami Boyz to dethrone them and take the UCW Tag Team Championship. Both teams were in a heated battle for the entire match. Midway through, Sterling attempted to bring in his tripod to use as a weapon which was then intercepted by Puma Johnson, but a quick fake out from him and Stetson caught the referee's eye as she ejected Johnson from the match.
Malachite and Keef would then mount a comeback before Stetson brought in the tripod as a distraction to help Sterling hit a low blow on Keef before he hit him with the tripod and secure the win and win the titles to close the final UCW show of 2025.
