Sterling went up against Michael Strider in Strider’s return to LWA on July 25. The two had a hellacious, yet technical match that delivered what the fans wanted to see. Strider’s tenacity and brutality shined, but it was Sterling’s athletic prowess and pure, gifted skill that sent him on his way to victory. He captured the NWA-CS Championship from Strider. At 3XW Mark teamed up with Gage Octane to defeat the Northstar Express in a two out of three falls to retain the Tag Team Championship.

Diamond pulled double duty this month, wrestling on two shows in one day. She challenged Alexis for the MMWA-SICW Women’s belt in Dupo , IL and, although she put up a good fight, came up short. However, at South Broadway Athletic Club later in the evening, Diamond had another shot at the belt—and this time she was prepared. Diamond defeated her longtime nemesis to capture the Women’s championship.

August Personality of the month
Tiffani LaFane

Now equipped with a can of hairspray as she accompanies her men to the ring, LaFane has yet another weapon with which to thwart the attacks of Davey Vega, Gary the Nightowl and the Submission Squad’s opponents. The hairspray came in handy as she escorted Gary to the ring for his match against Tyler Cook. In the closing moments, it looked like Cook would pick up the win, causing LaFane to jump on the ring apron, with the referee distracted, and blind Cook with the spray so Gary could pick up the easy win.

August Match of the month
3XW
3XW Pure Wrestling Championship title match.
Wyatt vs. Tyler Cook
July 17 Des Moines, Iowa
The Rebel and Tyler Cook have been at war for the past few months over the 3xw Pure wrestling title. Always hated Wyatt seems to thrive on the hatred from the fans. One 3xw Fan had this to say about the match “My hat gets even more tipped to “The Rebel”. After taking one the hardest spills on the head I’ve ever seen in person – then the guy delivers several more ferocious bumps. So much emotion & physicality in that match, that is the stuff that makes me love 3xw.”…Another one stated I was sitting across from where it happened, and it was crazy. A lesser man would’ve quit, that just goes to show how tough Wyatt and the entirety of 3XW is. It is a very physical sport, after all…. And even more impressive was this statement “I too was sitting right in front of this vicious bump. It quite honestly was scary for a moment. I can’t believe how tough Wyatt is. By the way this was my first 3xw event and I am already making plans for next months show and beyond!!
INSTANT FAN!!
