March 2024 a young Nathan Bates sent shockwaves through the APW world when he defeated Tim Lutz in his professional debut. The Rookie Sensation has had a crazy up and down year but is looking to close out year 1 with a chance to avenge a loss against TJ Fury.

It was at the Hamilton County Fair when these 2 first locked up. TJ walked away the winner and received a APW Television Title shot at then Champion Creed Costello. A few months later at a special evening with APW Bates and Fury teamed together for a chance at becoming APW Tag Team Champions against the Tragedy Boiz.

Will the Rookie Sensation close out his year with a victory or will Picture Perfect show the first time wasn't luck?

Previously we mentioned War Hoss will make their APW Debut on March 1st at APW: Power Clash 5 Steele vs Shepherd. Champions ever where they have been, they look to make APW no different. They have made it clear they want gold and aren't afraid to go after it even asking management to let them take on the top Contenders. Former Champions Tragedy Boiz immediately signed on the dotted line, with the team of Saturn Price & Percy Drews accepting. Shortly after was the team of Amos & Kronos the Berserker, representing Hail The Apocalypse! Can the ring contain the chaos... probably not. In the end we will know who will challenge for the APW Tag Team champions in April, who ever that may be!

We may not fully know who the APW Tag Team Champions are but their first challengers have been signed! Call it luck or call it the Russell Bland effect, either way the Gruesome Twosome are lined up for whichever duo is set to defend the championships.

Johnny Sisco & Creed Costello have recently aligned themselves with the Ultimate Wingman and have found its already paying dividends. Russell was quick to lay out the challenge to Dalton Lakes and get him to sign off. The weird thing is on the championship line it has Izak Phineas Abney & Jared Rush signatures as well.... hopefully we can get to the bottom of this before March 1st.

Keeping up with Championship announcements, the next match up is sponsored by Paper Street Trading Co

The NWA World's Television Champion Carson Drake returns to APW with another defense of his title. Drake informed officials that this time he "Really wants to give a kid a shot to really prove something" and will be defending the title in a "regular match, no time limits or anything. Let them have a brush against greatness"

The open contract went out and it was quickly signed. While it seems Carson is not taking this defense serious, Sgt. Ledbetter has been around the sport to know opportunities like this don't come around often.

"Carson is talented and he knows it. I've seen him climb the ladder in the wrestling world hitting every step on the way. On March 1st I'm going to show him that I know all his tricks and still have a few up my sleeve he's never seen before."

It's a clash of styles, for one of thebmost historic prizes in wrestling history!

In 2020 as the world began to recover from being stuck inside, APW picked up a few "travel shows" at different locations. At our first show in Norwood Ohio, our first show out of the shutdown, Arie Alexander competed for the NEWF Skorned Championship. Shortly after her victory the NEWF shutdown and Arie proclaimed herself the APW Women's Champion. While never officially recognized, Arie did earn the right to claim the title of APW Women's champion as the first female through the APW Training school, and the main attraction of the women's division. Arie then began her journey across the wrestling world, blazing her own trail and picking up Championships and even appearing for AEW multiple times. While Arie was out making her name across the world, an international Star landed right in Cincinnati Ohio.

Enter Dayami Ho! The Mayan River Godess took the Cincinnati area by storm, securing victory after victory and capturing the hearts of the same little girls Arie was inspiring. In what, at the time, we thought was one final match Dayami teamed with the legendary Luchadore Super Crazy as a thank you for what she had done for APW. Then a few months later Dayami returned to Cincinnati and has been on a tear ever since. Winning Championships in the Midwest as well as heading back to her home county of Mexico to collect gold!

In 5 years of APW, the women's division can be divided into, atleast, 2 eras. The Arie era and The Dayami Era now collide to officially welcome the Championship Era!

When children don't get their way, they act out. Showing the ultimate sign of disrespect Kasie Clay was acting out. Attempting to tarnish the business agreement between APW & WWSMéxico, now she definitely finds herself on the outside. Later today we will make the official announcement on the first OFFICIAL APW Women's championship match

02/11/2025

Well the contract is dry, at APW: Power Clash 5 Steele vs Shepherd we crown the first official APW Women's champion. If you were there Saturday you know Dayami Ho is in, and Kasie Clay is out.... we will officially make the announcement tomorrow.

Typically, the Monday after a big event where title changes take place, we'll post the APW champions list and title history.

But, we're going to be honest. We don't know who the tag team champions are. We aren't even sure if Dalton Lakes knows who the tag team champions are. While the are hoisting the Lombardi trophy high, Izak Phineas Abney and Jared Rush may have to wait a bit before finding out who holds the APW tag team title.

Once we know, we'll update you here along with ascendprowrestling.com

Hoping, we hear more before APW: Power Clash 5 Steele vs Shepherd which is happening in just under 3 weeks on March 1.

At APW: Scouts Honor we saw APW Tag Team Champions!

The Defending Champions Tragedy Boiz decided to make the choice simple, Lakes could team with both Izak Phineas Abney & Jared Rush as they brought back Aren Daniel Norman. Pulling off the upset on the Tragedy Boiz was RipTi... ummm.. Brewe.... Dalton Lakes we know for sure... but which partner is still unclear.

Speaking of Aren, head out to Buckeye Championship Wrestling today, Doors at 3 and Belltime 330! All money raised foes to Aren who recently lost everything he owns in an apartment fire. Lots of raffles and great Pro wrestling for a great cause!
