Last Time Out:

ASWA hosted their last show Star and Stripes at the Fraternal Order of the Eagles on September 12. There it was highlighted by The Bounty Hunter retained the ASWA Sunshine State Championship against Yoseph Ragnadov in a submission match, Moses Mayhem retained the ASWA Florida Heavyweight Championship against Javan Dymond and The Cheese defeated The Real Drago by disqualification in the semifinals of the ASWA National Championship Tournament).

Additionally, they hosted Rock n' Wrestling on September 20 at Joyland in Bradenton that featured current AEW wrestler Chris Jericho.

ASWA National Title Tournament Set:

The finals for the ASWA National Championship has officially been set between Mike Orlando and The Cheese, both strong fan favorites.

Orlando would first face Bison and would win via referee's stoppage before defeating Orion in an earlier show.

Meanwhile The Cheese won his matches back-to-back by disqualification. After defeating The Bounty Hunter at Slam Jamboree, he would then defeat The Real Drago in the semifinals after both wrestlers interfered in each other's matches.

Settling The Score:

After costing each other in the ASWA National Championship Tournament, the feud between The Bounty Hunter and The Real Drago will finally be settled in the ring in a Russian Chain Match with the ASWA Sunshine State Championship on the line.

It started with Bounty Hunter losing his tournament match at Summer Slamboree to The Cheese by disqualification after The Real Drago attacked the Cheese. Following The Bounty Hunter's submission match win against Yoseph Ragnadov at Stars and Stripes for the ASWA Sunshine State Championship, Drago would then attack him again only for him to retreat afterwards. The Bounty Hunter would then get revenge on Drago by costing him a win in his match against The Cheese in the ASWA National Championship Tournament semifinals later in the show before challenging Drago to a Russian Chain Match, which he accepted.

The Russian Chain Match rules are as followed - both wrestlers will be strapped and tethered to a 15-foot chain. There are no pinfalls, submissions, disqualifications or countouts and the only the way to win is when one wrestler touches all four corners in the ring simultaneously. If the wrestler is stopped, then they must restart from the first corner. 

Mayhem on the Move:

For Moses Mayhem, he is coming off of a successful title defense against Javan Dymond at Star and Stripes and is looking to keep the ASWA Florida Heavyweight Championship with him after winning it at the Summer Slamboree.

Standing up for the challenge is 'The Doctor' Zachary Magnus. Magnus is coming off of winning his last match against Just Kurt at Stars and Stripes.

Gore's Triumphant Challenge:

For fan favorite Nima Gore, she is looking to carry the momentum into her triple threat match against Allie Recks and Gretta. Gore is coming off returning to the ring after a much need break. She returned at Stars and Stripes where she defeated her closest friend Shamar Amor in singles action.

Recks, who was the inaugural Superstars of Wrestling Federation (SWF) Women's Champion for 1,029 days and was known to have several matches against big names such as Natalia Markova (NWA), Tasha Steelz (TNA), Kiera Hogan (TNA), Angelia Love (TNA/ROH), Tenille Dashwood (TNA/WWE) and Jordynne Grace (TNA/NXT/WWE), makes her return to ASWA. This will be her second match in 2026 as she fought at Pride of Wrestling's POW 43: Agent of Chaos on January 17 where she fell to Katalina Perez for the POW Women's Championship.

Gretta, who is entering her second year in professional wrestling, has predominately been competing for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and will be making her ASWA debut. In her last match, she won a tag team with Tiffany Nieves against Jazmin Allure and Monica Monroe on Reality of Wrestling's Platinum Gold Rush. Her last singles match win was at NWA Power - Hard Times 6 against Natalia Markova.

Psycho Reign in Sight:

For 'Psycho' Chase McCoy, he is looking to finally dethrone Jake Cross and begin his reign as the new NWA Fight The World No Limits Championship. McCoy defeated Cross in a lumberjack match at Stars and Stripes to earn a shot at the championship. For Cross, he will be defending the title for the second time after defeating Javan Dymond in a hardcore match at Summer Slamboree.

Dymond in the Rough:

Despite losing his last two matches, Javan Dymond continues to show consistency and toughness even through the losses. He looks to bounce back with a win over his opponent in Mike Mondo.

Mondo, who has been wrestling since 2002, will be making his ASWA debut. The former NWA World Heavyweight Champion, two-time Ohio Valley Wrestling Heavyweight Champions and WWE World Tag Team Champion last match won was a six-man tag team match with Slade and Carson Bartholomew Drake as a part of the Federation of Champions where they defeated Bryan Idol, Silas Mason and Thom Latimer at NWA Power 281.

To celebrate Halloween, ASWA will be having a costume contest for all ages where fans can win prizes, including free front row tickets to the next show.

Additionally, any student in the state of Florida that show their school ID at the door will be given a 50% discount for general admission tickets. Students can also use the promotion code 'Student50' to discount their tickets.
