What the hell just happened?

I know exactly what you want to read about today. What the hell happened at the end of AWL 136? Well, I'm going to bury the lead on that and first cover the condition of Kid Canada.

During the scheduled main event of AWL 136, HAKAISHA delivered his signature triple power bomb to Kid Canada. During this manuver, Kid Canada's head bounced off the middle rope in a dangerous way. Concerns were immediatly raised regarding the health of the Most Candian Man in the World.

Well, I have good news. AWL CMO Dr. Mark Feelgood has checked KC out and found neither concussion nor neck damage. He's fine and has been cleared for competition.

But now for the real reason you're probably all here: No. You didn't imagine it. Yes. It really happened. Yes. The AWL's own Hassan is now the WWE Intercontinental Champion!! "But how is that possible?" I hear you ask. Well, it's actually fairly simple:

1. Daniel Bryan loses the IC Title to Vacant on the 5-11-2015 episode of WWE Monday Night RAW.

2. Vacant is currently under an AWL Contract and therefore can defend the title on AWL shows.

3. The AWL Commissioner contacts Hassan (who is further ahead on his rehab than previously reported and just last week got his visa renewed) to give him the opportunity to fight for the gold.

4. Hassan accepts and the match is on.

5. Hassan wins, the title changes hands.

That brings us up to the present. Vacant WAS scheduled to defend the IC Title in an Elimination Chamber Match in two weeks on the WWE Network (available now for an undisclosed amount of money). It remains to be seen how WWE will address the issue of the new champion. Since the IC Title was treated as still belonging to Vacant on the most recent episode of RAW, we assume they are trying to ignore us. Even going so far as to pass off a duplicate belt for the real one. As of this writing, the Animated Wrestling League recognizes Hassan as the WWE Intercontinental Champion. Please stay tuned for more updates as this on going story unfolds.
