Penultimate Danger Zone Update for Season 9

Good evening wrestling fans!

After last weekend's AWL 177 event, the composition of the Danger Zone changed significantly:

Wrestler:	Win	Loss	Total	as of AWL 177
E.N. Hance	0	-17	-17	DANGER ZONE	LOCKED
Jon Shina	3	-18	-15	DANGER ZONE	LOCKED
American Beetle	42	-56	-14	DANGER ZONE	LOCKED
Tanaka Kenichi	22	-36	-14	AWL IC Champion	SAFE
El Rudo Rojo	35	-42	-7	DANGER ZONE
Mr. Smiles	0	-7	-7	DANGER ZONE

As things stand, only El Rudo Rojo and Mr. Smiles are at risk of being forced to compete in the career threatening Batsumania Match at AWL 180. However, the AWL Commissioner has made two matches for next week that will hopefully solidify everything going into the finale:

For AWL 178:

THUGLIFE 田中健一 (C) vs. "Peacemaker" Luke James

AWL Intercontinental Championship Match

NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH

2nd Title Defense

Last weekend, Tanaka Kenichi deliberately fouled his opponent twice to force a disqualification and save the AWL IC Title. To say the AWL Commissioner was not happy would be an understatement. That's why this match will have a no DQ stipulation.

Obviously, if Luke James wins, Tanaka will no longer have the AWL IC Championship to save him from Batsumania. However, should the cheating, blackmailing, fraud manage to slither away with the title, the Commissioner has prepared the following rematch:

El Rudo Rojo vs. Mr. Smiles

Danger Zone Match

So one way or the other, we will known the four fired men walking for AWL 180. Speaking of the season finale, tomorrow I'll run down the card as we know it so far.
