When Brett Semtex made his DOA debut back in 2022, no one could have foreseen him walking out of the Drill House in Great Yarmouth at the Heavyweight Champion. Semtex had over come the dominant Winston, no easy feat and something that nobody else had been able to do. For those who may have thought it was a fluke debut, Semtex went on to dominate in DOA in a long and impressive title run. Using his MMA background, Semtex built himself into a real force and was never someone to mess with or ever count out as he always had the heart to fight back and never give up. He was the kind of champion who was respected and represented DOA with pride.
It all came to an end though when he battled with Big Joe in their second huge DOA match, the first encounter had Semtex walk out victorious. Big Joe, another formidable force was the first man to put Semtex down in DOA and take the gold from him. However, then Director of Authority Marc Lloyd instantly signed a rematch between the pair, something that the Yarmouth faithful were very excited about - Semtex Vs Big Joe Part 3, for the title. Brett Semtex regained focus and got ready for his rematch for the title with an impressive victory over veteran Mike Bird. He was determined to become the first ever two time DOA Heavyweight Champion, but then fate got in the way.
The scheduled title match between Semtex and Big Joe was rescheduled as Big Joe was in the states competing in the Tournament of Death, something he went on to win. Semtex was patient though and awaited the new date for the big title rematch with Joe, but it never came. In an unexpected twist of events, Big Joe ended up losing the DOA title to Sullivan King at another promotions show, meaning the big rematch was off. This must have been a bitter blow to Semtex who had been waiting and preparing for that big chance to take back the Heavyweight title.
Brett was not seen for the first few months of 2024 in DOA but then was offered a big opportunity which he took. Due to the fact his scheduled rematch with Joe was cancelled in the first instance, he went into a three way match at Clash at the Cresset with both Big Joe and H Hood. This match was for a shot at the Heavyweight Championship at Yarmagedon on May 4th. Many wondered if Semtex would be well prepared for this one but he again overcame the odds and pinned H Hood after a huge F5, earning himself the title shot.
It has all gone a bit full circle and Semtex's journey to get back into the title scene has been full of set backs, mostly out of his own hands. However, in Great Yarmouth on Saturday night, I expect we are going to see Brett Semtex more focused than ever. He has worked hard to get back to where he rightfully should be in DOA and he will want to take full advantage of the situation. What stands between him and the title now is the current champion Brad O'Brien. These two have never met in a DOA ring and this will be a really interesting match up, with a contrast of styles. We know that O'Brien has won his recent title matches with a helping hand, and Semtex will also know that as he will have him scouted. We know Brett backs down from no one and we know O'Brien will do anything to keep the title, therefore this match cannot be missed!
Can Brett Semtex become the first ever two time Heavyweight Champion or will Brad O'Brien put a stop to that using any means required? Do not miss this explosive title match!
