NIGHT ONE - Saturday, Dec 10

Match 1

Holiday Invitational

Time Limit: N/A

UKWF signees not scheduled to compete in title or contendership matches get a chance to show their mettle in this special invitational match, open to singles and tag wrestlers alike!

(OOC: Participation in this match is optional. The limit is 1x500 words. Match type will depend on participation.)

Match 2
(No-Disqualification Match)
Chris Ghensi v Mac Mercer
Time Limit: N/A

Recent weeks have seen Chris Ghensi build quite a reputation as a ruthless wrestler with a penchant for ultra-violence. His run-ins with Ursula Areano, in particular, saw him unleash his more violent side, sometimes at the expense of a win. At Challenge of Champions, he will be right in his element, as he faces fan-favourite newcomer Mac Mercer under no-disqualification rules. Mac wants to leave the Australian no excuse in case he gets defeated, but with his opponent being a hardcore veteran, the Mega Man might find his hand-picked stipulation could work against him. Ghensi has already shown he is more concerned with drawing blood than achieving victory, but in an environment where he can use one to achieve the other, he should prove quite an obstacle for Mercer to overcome. Can Big Mac rise to the challenge? Or will he be hoisted by his own petard?

Match 3
The Divas of Dominance v The Best of British
Time Limit: 30m
Once a strong union, the bond between the Divas of Dominance and the Best of British has experienced something of a strain in recent weeks. Rupert and Nigel's antics have cost Jessie and Jamie Alexander more than one win, and the twins appear to finally have lost patience with their allies' blundering ways. At Challenge of Champions, the two teams will have the opportunity to hash out whatever differences still linger between them – but will this match have the healing effect Stella Chalmers-Blythe will hope it does, or will it only make matters even worse?

Match 4
MJ Bell v Magdalena Waechter
Time Limit: N/A

At UKWF Face-Off, Magdalena Waechter made her intentions crystal-clear: she wanted a match with MJ Bell, and would do whatever it took to ensure it, including turn on the part-owner of the company! It therefore comes as no surprise that the Canoness's demands were promptly granted, and a match made for Challenge of Champions. This did not soothe Magdalena, however, and at No Turning Back, the German sent another message to both New Management and her opponent, by attacking her during her match with Arcane. MJ Bell will therefore be all too aware of what awaits her at UKWF's end-of-year show – but if the fan-favourite is known for one thing, it is her resilience and unwillingness to back down from a fight. Fans will no doubt be hoping MJ can rise above and conquer the threat at hand, but if Magdalena's career thus far is anything to go by, the former World Champion will face an uphill struggle on December 10!

Main Event
(Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match / UKWF Tag Team Championships)
The Master Sisters v Hunt by Night ( c )
Time Limit: N/A
After yet another run-in between Gaia Galanos and Moonlight Master ended in chaos, the Master Sisters shocked the UKWFverse by challenging champions Hunt by Night to a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match for the UKWF Tag Team Championships. Perhaps even more surprisingly, technical-minded Gaia Galanos and unpredictable high-flyer Night Train Ayano agreed to a match which, technically, puts them at a disadvantage against their backyard-trained opponents. Aurora, Moonlight and Carnival know they will have no better chance to capture the titles than with this hand-picked match, but across from them will be one of the most dominant and hard-hitting teams in UKWF, and one which has already proven it can do well in a hardcore environment. Stella Chalmers-Blythe will be hoping her girls can overcome the challenge of Gaia and Night Train, but if history between the two teams is any indication, this may be easier said than done...

NIGHT TWO - Sunday, Dec 11
Match 1

Ace Watson & Bianca Davis v Alyssa Drew & Ursula Areano
Time Limit: 30m

Alyssa Drew's victorious debut at UKWF was marred by a post-match attack by her jealous opponent, Bianca Davis, and partner Ace Watson. Luckily for the newcomer, help was at hand, in the shape of like-minded rising star Ursula Areano. The two managed to run off their rivals, but in doing so, put themselves firmly in Stella Chalmers-Blythe's radar – always a dangerous place to be. The result was this match, which sees the newly formed alliance take on the much longer-standing and intimate duo of Watson and Davis. With the two lovebirds at loggerheads, could Alyssa and Ursula profit and get an upset win? Or will Ace and Bianca be able to work as a team and see off their opponents? Thirty minutes will tell the tale!

Match 2
Kincaid v Cross Recoba
Time Limit: 30m
Ever since debuting in the same match at UKWF Showdown, Cross Recoba and Kincaid have been engaged in a rivalry which reached boiling point during their tag match at No Turning Back. After Kincaid got the pin over Ace Watson to bring victory to his team, the spiteful Recoba engaged him in a brawl which took the intervention of security to break up. Shortly thereafter, the journeyman Canadian issued a challenge to his opponent – a one-on-one match to settle the score, at UKWF's last show of the year! The challenge was promptly accepted, and the two seek to finally establish, once and for all, who is the better man between the two. No stipulations, bells or whistles necessary – just a heated, sure to be technical brawl between two strong-willed men with clashing moral compasses! But which one will triumph – hard work or opportunism?

Match 3
(UKWF Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders' Match)
Neal Durden & Lowri Moss v The Australian-American Connection
Time Limit: 30m

Upon returning to UKWF, Oscar the Grouch and Valerie Holcomb made their intentions clear right from the off – they were coming to capture the Tag Team titles which eluded them during the London Tag Grand Prix! Since then, the duo have made a good case for themselves as number one contenders by going undefeated – but so has another team on the roster, one which is vocally hungry for a chance to climb up the ladder. When Oscar demanded a title shot at No Turning Back, Neal Durden and Lowri Moss could not remain silent, and challenged the returning Connection to a contendership match at the final show of the year. Oscar and Valerie accepted, and the two teams will be facing off at Challenge of Champions. While respect does exist between the rookies and their opponents, the stakes are too high for either team to hold back – all four wrestlers know how important this match could be for their immediate future, and should be giving their all to ensure victory as a result!

Main Event
(I Quit Match / UKWF Championship)
Juliet Black v Blaise Fader ( c )
Time Limit: N/A
This is it. The match which will not only settle a nearly year-long rivalry, but also potentially see the UKWF Championship change hands for a second time in the same span of time. As such, both women knew their differences would have to be settled in the most definitive way, which may have been what prompted Blaise Fader to accept her rival's challenge for an I Quit match! With Juliet Black's willingness to bend the rules giving her a distinct advantage, the UKWF Champion will certainly be on the back foot going into this match; but with most of the UKWFverse firmly behind her, and her own determination and drive spurning her on, there is no doubt Blaise will know how to rise to the Challenge of Champions, and make sure she is the one walking out of the Electric Ballroom on December 11 as the UKWF Champion! To do so, however, she will have to make perhaps the most prideful athlete in the UKWF roster say the two words she is perhaps the least willing to say in the whole of the English language... With both women's pride at stake, and a title on the line, Night Two of UKWF's final show of 2016 should see a strong contender for Match of the Year take place in Camden Town!
