AWL 180 Card So Far.

As promised, here are the matches we know about for AWL 180, the Season 9 Finale:

MAIN EVENT
Hassan (C) vs. RAINMAKERオカダカズチカ (#1)
AWL Grand Championship Match
3rd Title Defense
AWL vs. NJPW
Champion vs. Champion
While we're on the subject, all of us here at the AWL would like to congratulate the Rainmaker on his victory at the New Japan Pro Wrestling Dominion PPV to become a 4-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion. While the IWGP title will not be on the line at AWL 180, we will be honored to once again have such an illustrious championship grace the AWL Arena.

American Beetle vs. E.N. Hance vs. Jon Shina vs. TBD
BATSUMANIA!!
Loser of the Final Fall is FIRED!!

一二三龍二 (Hifumi Ryuji) vs. 破砕機 (Hasaiki)
AWL Dojo Graduation Match
Special Guest Referee: Dragon.
Winner earns a spot on the AWL Roster.
The name of the second potential graduate has been added since I last talked about this match. As always with graduation matches, I know nothing about these students. I can tell you that Hasaiki means "Crusher" in Japanese, but there have been so many "Crushers" in pro wrestling that the name doesn't really tell you anything. As always, AWL Dojo Head Trainer Dragon will officiate the match.

And now two matches just added:
Destroyers of DOOM! (C) vs. TBD
AWL World Tag Team Championship Match
3rd Title Defense
Obviously, at the moment nobody has the necessary 3 points to challenge for the titles, but Big & Spicy have 2 points and even if they can't pick up a third in the next two weeks, the AWL Commissioner is VERY good at finding challengers when he needs to.

THUGLIFE田中健一 (C)(If still champion) vs. ????
AWL Intercontinental Championship Match
?th Title Defense
OK, this is a weird way to write it. The point is that the AWL IC Title WILL be defended at AWL 180 no matter who the champion is. This means that all the championships are on the line.


So far that's 5 matches for the Season Finale on July 10th. More will be announced next week after AWL 178. And I'll have the full card for 178 tomorrow. So stay tuned!
