AAW Hell Hath No Fury Tonight (Friday, 11/3), Berwyn Eagles Club, Berwyn, IL, 8:30 PM local time - The premiere indie promotion in the Chicagoland area is back on tap tonight to start a weekend doubleheader. While tomorrow night's Rise of the Dragon features Ultimo Dragon, the first show may be more well-rounded. Rey Feníx is defending his AAW Championship in the main event, but it hasn't been announced against whom yet. However, the show promises the return of a former AAW Champion, and Jimmy Jacobs fits that bill just fine after being released from his WWE Creative contract. I'm not saying he'll be Feníx's challenger, but I'm pretty good at putting two and two together, if you know what I mean. Another match of interest on this show features Trevor Lee taking on Eddie Kingston. Both wrestlers are or have been in Impact Wrestling recently, but I don't think they've crossed paths there, so this will be of extreme interest. Lee has pretty much staked his claim as the greatest professional wrestler based out of North Carolina since Ric Flair, while Kingston is always angry and looking for a fight. This match should be a dandy. Also, Colt Cabana will team up with Chuck Taylor in a comedic team made in heaven. Too bad they're going up against the certifiably insane Cutter Brothers. That's right, The Hooligans are back looking for some mayhem, and in Cabana and Taylor, they may have found the perfect targets. Also appearing on this show will be Veda Scott, Delilah Doom, Mat Fitchett, Davey Vega, Su Yung, David Starr, Jeff Cobb, Michael Elgin, Shane Strickland, AR Fox, DJ Z, and Curt Stallion. It's a goddamn loaded show, and if you can make it out to Berwyn, do it! If not, check back to AAW On Demand for some at-home viewing.
WrestleJam 16 Tomorrow (Saturday, 11/4), Ferrara Elementary School, East Haven, CT, 7:30 PM local time - Connecticut's premiere indie promotion is back and is wrestling for charity. All proceeds from this event will go to the Mikey's Way Foundation, which is a non-profit that donates electronics to kids with cancer. If you can't make it to East Haven, maybe think about making a donation in WrestleJam's name? Anyway, the show is pretty loaded if you ask me. The main event is a four-way match for the WrestleJam Championship, chocked full of Chikara and Chikara-adjacent talent. Hallowicked, the Champion, must defend against three other tall task wrestlers: Fire Ant, Zenshi (FKA Shynron), and Gran Akuma. Given all four of their backgrounds, this match should drop every jaw in attendance. Going all the way to the other end of the spectrum, Jonathan Gresham will be there to take on Travis Huckabee in what should be a marvelous technical display. Additionally, Davey Boy Smith, Jr. stops by to throw hands with Ace Romero in what may end up being a certified HOSS FIGHT. Also appearing on the show will be Jack Swagger, Darby Allin, Team Sea Stars, Sumie Sakai, and Icarus. Unfortunately, if you can't make it live, you may not be able to watch later, as I couldn't find any info for WrestleJam's aftermarket purchases. However, because this show is for charity, I'm going to make an exception in highlighting it, because it's for such a good cause.
Over The Top Wrestling Vendetta! Tomorrow (Saturday, 11/4), Tivoli Theater, Dublin, Ireland, 7 PM local time - The biggest and best promotion in Ireland heads back to the Tivoli Theater on Saturday for some big action. The main event will be for a future shot at the OTT Champion, as Matt Riddle will BRO his way across the ocean to battle the Guest Star Killer himself, Jordan Devlin. Devlin is one of Ireland's top talents, and he'll be looking to get himself a shot, but he'll have to go through Riddle and his unique brand of hybrid MMA and technical wrestling. Speaking of the Champion, Mark Haskins will be in action in a non-title match against Travis Banks, the current PROGRESS Champion. Although it's not billed as such, it's already a far more appealing Champion vs. Champion match than what's currently set for Survivor Series, that's for sure. Even if Haskins isn't putting his strap up, that doesn't mean no titles will be defended. Martina the Session Moth will defend her OTT Women's Championship against Lana Austin. One could argue Martina is actually OTT's signature wrestler, so this match should get a lot of spotlight. Also appearing on this show will be Chris Brookes, El Ligero, and Zack Gibson among others. If you can't make it over to Tivoli for this, check out OTT ON Demand later on for some fun.
