***BCW 71: BEST IN BATTLE III OPENING ROUND – ANNOUNCEMENT*** Our next match announcement for BATTLE CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING 71: BEST IN BATTLE III OPENING ROUND is a BEST IN BATTLE III RESERVE MATCH featuring GABRIEL WOLFE and EL NEGATIVO! The winner of this match will be the official reserve for the BEST IN BATTLE III TOURNAMENT, who may be inserted at any point during the TOURNAMENT in the event of injury.

Conversely EL NEGATIVO burst onto the scene last month as he filled in for Krackerjak and teamed with Gore to defend the BCW Tag Team Championships against LA REAL FAMILIA, before a car crash affair the following night in a six-man LUCHA LIBRE EXTREMA match. These two combatants are dark horses within the entire TOURNAMENT and may find themselves being crowned BEST IN BATTLE III CHAMPION if the opportunity arises!

***BCW 71: BEST IN BATTLE III OPENING ROUND – MATCH ANNOUNCEMENT*** Our second official match announcement for BATTLE CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING 71: BEST IN BATTLE III OPENING ROUND is a ROUND 1 MATCH which will also be for the BCW BATTLE EXPRESS CHAMPIONSHIP featuring DIOS DEL INFRAMUNDO (c) against 2025 BEST IN BATTLE II CHAMPION, BARRY LUCKY ‘LEARY! DIOS DEL INFRAMUNDO returned to the Battle Kingdom last month as part of the LUCHA DOWNUNDER TOUR where he defeated O’LEARY for the BCW BATTLE EXPRESS CHAMPIONSHIP at BCW 69 and thereafter defended his title one night later against AERO STAR at BCW 70. THE GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD now seeks to be considered the BEST IN BATTLE and faces the defending champion in LUCKY O’LEARY. BARRY LUCKY O’LEARY lost his BCW BATTLE EXPRESS CHAMPIONSHIP against DIOS DEL INFRAMUNDO in circumstances where POGO THE CLOWN appeared at ringside for the entire match before causing an interference that led to INFRAMUNDO taking the advantage. This rematch as a result has all the elements – it’s for the BCW BATTLE EXPRESS CHAMPIONSHIP and the winner advances to the BEST IN BATTLE III SEMI FINALS! Last year BARRY LUCKY O’LEARY elevated himself when defeating Robbie Thorpe, Tome Filip and Mick Moretti to be crowned the BEST IN BATTLE II CHAMPION. DIOS DEL INFRAMUNDO was not on the radar for BATTLE CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING, as he had been gone since 2019 - however, the stars have now aligned, and with one match between these two combatants already – this one is guaranteed to be a barnburner! The BCW BATTLE EXPRESS CHAMPIONSHIP will be defended however it is important to note the ten-minute time limit applies. If there is no victor at the expiration of the ten-minute time limit, then the Champion will retain his title, but the match will continue until there is a winner, as one combatant needs to advance to the SEMI FINALS unless in the case of a double disqualification or double count out.

***BCW 71: BEST IN BATTLE III OPENING ROUND – MATCH ANNOUNCEMENT*** Our first official match announcement for BATTLE CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING 71: BEST IN BATTLE III OPENING ROUND is a ROUND 1 MATCH featuring FAMOUS B and CARLO CANNON! FAMOUS B is coming off a tumultuous start to the year, after defending his BCW Heavyweight Championship against Sam Yannis, he lost the Championship unexpectedly to Blue Demon Jr and initiated his rematch the following night as part of triple threat match after having already wrestled twice earlier that same night. A consultation was perhaps winning the Lucha Libre Trios Tournament partnering with Gabriel Wolfe and Levi Nixon however redemption is on the mind of the main who made the second letter of the alphabet ‘FAMOUS’. Conversely CARLO CANNON has been searching for his place in the Battle Kingdom in recent months, falling short in the Battle Jumble and the Battle Royal while impressively going toe-to-toe alongside the Bastard Brothers against La Real Familia. A one-time BCW Tag Team Champion with Ken Shamrock, CANNON will be looking to take advantage of this opportunity and matches up well against his Round 1 foe. FAMOUS B is a BEST IN BATTLE alumni having made it to the finals back in 2024 defeating Adam Brooks and Mitch Waterman before falling to Mick Moretti. While CARLO CANNON features for the first time after competing in the BEST IN BATTLE Reserve Match in 2024. Some may say CANNON’s inclusion is peculiar, however his work outside the Battle Kingdom is being recognised, such is now that this opportunity exists. On Friday 24 July 2026 will who will advance to the BEST IN BATTLE III SEMI FINALS – the disgruntled FAMOUS B OR the surging CARLO CANNON? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- REMEMBER 2 Events for the price of 1 - BCW 71: Best In Battle 3 Opening Round (Friday 24 July 2026) and BCW 72: Best In Battler 3 Finals (Saturday 25 July 2026)!

Winners: SAM YANNIS, SEAN PRESTON & CHRISTIAN CLUTCH via pinfall. 2 - Lucha Libre Trios Tournament Semi Final 2 Match: Famous B, Gabriel Wolfe & Levi Nixon Vs Jordie Sparkles, The Artist Formerly Known as Lockie & Breakfast This contest was both hard hitting with comic relief disguised by Sparkles, The Artist and Breakfast to lull their more experienced foes into a false sense of security. However with Famous B fresh off losing his Heavyweight Championship, Nixon upset over his almost Battle Royal win and Wolfe enraged simply because he has never not been enraged, it was not to be for the underdogs. Wolfe locked in a Lockjaw to achieve victory for his team who advanced to the Final. Winners: FAMOUS B, GABRIEL WOLFE & LEVI NIXON via submission 3 - BCW Battle Express Championship Match: Dios Del Inframundo (c) Vs Aero Star Aero Star earnt his way into this match by defeating Sam Yannis the night prior, while Inframundo was defending his newly won strap for the first time after besting Lucky O'Leary the night prior. These former BCW Tag Team Champions went at it to find a pathway to victory resulting in a time limit draw. However both Luchadores urged BCW Management for five more minutes, which was granted, however in the end the deadlock was unable to be broken as time expired once again. Dios Del Inframundo retained the BCW Battle Express Championship. Decision: Time Limit Draw [10:00] Overtime [5:00] ...

It was on early and it was on everywhere as these six combatants fought all over the arena utilising whatever they could find including bins and Dave Morgan the referee. At one point Dave Morgan received a whipping of his own courtesy of La Real Familia. In the end the match finally came to a close as the trio from Monterrey, Mexico found the pinfall for the win. Winners: LA REAL FAMILIA (LA PARK, EL HIJO DEL LA PARK & LA PARK JR) via pinfall 5 - Sexy Dulce Vs Faby Apache In a match where Faby Apache was looking to gain back the victory stolen from her the night prior, Sexy Dulce was not going to make it easy.

Winner: FABY APACHE via pinfall 6 - Lucha Libre Trios Tournament Final Match: Famous B, Gabriel Wolfe & Levi Nixon Vs Sam Yannis, Sean Preston & Christian Clutch These six combatants went at it under Lucha Rules for the second time in one night, albeit for the first time against each other.

Blue Demon Jr and Johnathan Preston agreed and this match was restarted as a Triple Threat Match for the BCW Heavyweight Championship. Much to the surprise of Preston, once knocked to the outside Blue Demon Jr was able to take advantage of a weary Famous B who was wrestling for the third time in one night, hooked him up causing the surprise win by way of submission. Blue Demon Jr retained his title, which will now go back with him to Mexico. Winner: ... AND STILL BCW Heavyweight Champion BLUE DEMON JR via pinfall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We thank all fans who attended LUCHA DOWNUNDER over two nights!

Winner: ... and No.1 Contender to the BCW Battle Express Championship, AERO STAR via pinfall 2 - Triple Threat Match: Tarlee Vs Sexy Dulce Vs Faby Apache Tarlee's first taste of Luchadoras was meant to be her crowning moment, and she did everything right save for gain victory as Sexy Dulce and Faby Apache exhibited a skillset not seen in the BCW Women's Division. It was far from two on one as Dulce and Apache went after victory for themselves, with Apache turning Dulce into a Surfboard which almost saw Tarlee claim victory. In the end it was Sexy Dulce who isolated Tarlee in the closing moments for the pinfall victory. Winner: SEXY DULCE via pinfall 3 - BCW Battle Express Championship Match: Dios Del Inframundo Vs Barry Lucky O'Leary (c) It was all on the line for O'Leary as Pogo the Clown appeared just before the clock started ticking to watch the proceedings. With Pogo giggling with his maniacal laugh, Lucky and Inframundo fought hammer and tong. In the end a distraction by Pogo was enough for the man formerly known as Drago to tie up Lucky in the Dragon Tail pin for the win. Winner: ... and NEW BCW Battle Express Champion DIOS DEL INFRAMUNDO via pinfall 4 - 15-Man Battle Royal for Johnathan Preston's BCW Heavyweight Championship Opportunity (Johnathan Preston, Sean Preston, This Guy, Jordie Sparkes, Gabriel Wolfe, Levi Nixon, Zhan Wen, Ryan Rapid, Mitch Waterman, The Artist Formerly Known As Lockie, Carlo Cannon, Syd Parker, Anth Cava, Ben & Breakfast) 15 combatants knew what was on the line, and took no time in fighting each other for the opportunity on the line. As one elimination happened after the next, it was down to Johnathan Preston, Sean Preston and Levi Nixon. Bad blood everywhere, Nixon cheekily eliminated Sean Preston before going toe-to-toe with Johnathan Preston. Johnathan was in late jeopardy, until finding a way to boot Nixon off the apron to retain his BCW Heavyweight Championship opportunity. Winner: ... and still No.1 Contender the BCW Heavyweight Championship, JOHNATHAN PRESTON by last eliminating Levi Nixon 5 - BCW Tag Team Championship Match: La Real Familia (El Hijo del LA Park & LA Park Jr) Vs The Bastard Brothers (Gore & El Negativo [replacing Krackerjak]) (c) Krackerjak explained to the Battle Kingdom how he did not pass the wellness policy test when Gore switched his urine sample with him, leading to his suspension. This led to the introduction of Krackerjak's replacement in the form of a El Negativo. Thereafter the intimidating La Real Familia entered and it was on. This match went everywhere including bins from the crowd and massive hits across the Battle Kingdom. Gore eventually managed to find a moment with El Negativo to gain the double team advantage and victory to retain the Championships for the Bastard Brothers. Winners: ... and STILL your BCW Tag Team Champions, THE BASTARD BROTHERS (GORE & EL NEGATIVO [Replacing Krackerjak]) via pinfall 6 - Jamie Tagataese Vs Cletus w/Bush Kelly The Big Man debuted in the Battle Kingdom but not without having to wait for Cletus to try and switch places with Bush Kelly. Referee Dave Morgan was not to be fooled. Once the bell rung, Cletus did all he could until being decimated with the War Hammer giving the Big Man his debut victory. After the match, Bush Kelly confronted Tagataese naling him with some hard rights before Tagataese got back on top and slammed Bush to the canvas. Winner: JAMIE TAGATAESE via pinfall 7 - BCW Heavyweight Championship Match: Blue Demon Jr Vs Famous B (c) Two alumni from Lucha Underground went mano-e-mano for the BCW Heavyweight Championship. It appeared that Famous B would do what Famous B does and find a way to victory after nailing his Fly As I Wanna Be Swanton Bomb, but Blue Demon Jr just kept coming. Not having lost a step, he nailed a top rope hurricanrana. However Famous B got back on top with a near fall after hitting the three amigos, until Johnathan Preston appeared. Preston jumped up on the apron and hung Famous out to dry. Blue Demon Jr then tied Famous B up in a submission and with the Battle Kingdom chanting "tap! tap! tap!" Famous B succumbed. Blue Demon Jr is your new BCW Heavyweight Champion. Winner: ... AND NEW BCW Heavyweight Champion BLUE DEMON JR via pinfall 8 - Lucha Libre Extrema Match: Maddog Vs LA Park In the main event after the main event, the Crazy Canine and LA Park went in and out of the ring taking each other apart piece by piece. Maddog went through a table on the outside, LA Park destroyed the guard rails and showed that he will do anything for victory when hitting a suicide dive to the outside. Maddog found his moment to close the show setting up a table for LA Park and lighting it on fire, but in the end it was Maddog crashing through the flaming table. LA Park then hit a frogsplash for the win.
