Bradenton, Fla - The Magnificent Johnny Walker’s losing streak finally came to an end in his match with Leeroy Shogun at Universal Fury 23 as Walker defeated Shogun to pick the stipulation for a match between UCW Universal Champion Logan Cruz and Steve Sterling. Additionally, the UCW Intergalactic Championship changed hands as Baby Keef ended Dagan McCarter’s longest reign at eight months.
Anthony Devlin vs Tim Foil:
The show opened with the return of ‘The Demigod’ Anthony Devlin, who made his return after his last match at Bar Brawl in Sarasota. To extend his streak, he would go up against the fan favorite in Tim Foil.
Going into the match, Devlin would gain the upper hand and work the upper body. While Foil had a tiny bit of momentum in offense, it would not be enough for him as Devlin secured the pinfall victory following a twisting double underhook DDT.
*Logan Cruz vs Jack Maguire (UCW Universal Championship):
Before the main event occurred, UCW Universal Champion Logan Cruz would talk with the fans and felt that he should have a match to warmup before Locking Horns 2, so to make the fans happy he issued an open challenge to anyone willing to fight him with the UCW Universal Championship on the line. Jack Maguire would end up being the wrestler to answer Cruz’s open challenge.
Both wrestlers would shake hands before the match began and they would exchange several wristlocks and takedowns before Cruz took the upper hand with a running uppercut. Cruz would continue his offense until Maguire started to mount a comeback that led to a shining wizard for a two-count.
As Maguire would try to gain one more chance of offense, it would not go his way as Cruz would hit The Right Hand of God not once but twice for the pinfall to retain the championship.
Afterwards, Cruz and Maguire would shake hands in respect for an incredible match.
Baby Keef vs *Dagan McCarter (UCW Intergalactic Championship):
After getting his first singles win for UCW, Baby Keef decided to up the ante and challenge for first chance at the UCW Intergalactic Championship. Meanwhile, Dagan McCarter was looking to continue on as the longest reigning champion after winning it at Masters of The Universe (October 25, 2025).
The match would barely as Cam Fox, the man who McCarter beat for the championship, would make his presence known and sit at the commentary table to watch the match.
The match would go through back and forth with both competitors showing their willingness to win, which included McCarter hitting his signature Redeemer Stunner only for Keef to escape the pinfall.
Keef would then gain the advantage and hit a frog splash on McCarter only to find Fox pinning McCarter’s foot to help Keef win his first singles championship in UCW and end McCarter’s eight and a half month reign.
Following the match, both wrestlers shook hands in respect as Keef celebrated.
*The Annihilation vs Sean Scott and Jake St. Patrick (UCW Tag Team Championship):
After losing the UCW Tag Team Championship, Sean Scott and Jake St. Patrick chose to invoke their rematch clause to regain the titles they lost and become the first two-time UCW Tag Team Champions. Meanwhile, the Annihilation (Chungus and Syther) would strategize and take out Scott before the match began and then put their focus on St. Patrick and work on his back. St. Patrick would fight back and was able to get the tag in to Scott who would clean house only for a near fall on Chungus. Scott would then make a tag to St. Patrick and it looked like they would go for a double superkick, but it in a shocking twist of events, Scott would betray his tag team partner and hit the Cash Out only for Chungus to go for the pin and retain the championship.
Jonathan Hudson vs Kai Price:
Both Jonathan Hudson and Kai Price were looking to get back to the winning side of things after they each lost their last matches.
The match would start with Price working on Hudson’s leg with a critical dragon screw. Hudson would not be fully fazed and would eventually use his power game to his advantage.
Eventually, Price would make a comeback and rework on Hudson’s leg, which would lead to Price winning the match after Hudson tapped out to the sharpshooter.
Johnny Walker vs Leeroy Shogun (Stipulation Match):
In the main event, all eyes were focused on Walker and Shogun to determine the stipulation for the match between Cruz and Steve Sterling.
As the match started, Shogun would start off strong until a small drawback would give Walker the advantage. Eventually, it would lead to the outside of the ring and into the UCW Verse with Shogun getting some assistance from the fans.
In the closing moments of the match, Shogun looked to have the victory until Sterling would come out of nowhere and hit Cruz with a steel chair. That one distraction would give Walker the edge as he rolled up Shogun with a hand full of tights for the win and end his losing streak.
Stipulation Announced:
After the match, Walker would announce that he would be the special guest referee for the UCW Universal Championship match at Locking Horns 2.
