Ever since the end of 2023, the cursed monster Hex has been on a mission to gain revenge on those who have wronged him.  Whilst he still has a score to settle with the Cult of Hyde, he has also had the Farrell Family on his mind.  In the Blaze of Glory main event, Hex was set to team with a mystery partner to take on Lord Steven Farrell and fellow family member Rexx Wylde in tag team action infront of the packed Drill House.  Prior to the match in an interview with AK, Lord Steven mocked H3ex stating he had no friends as his only friend Jack E Hyde had turned his back on him.  The Family doubted that anyone would team with him and indeed that appeared to be true when Hex walked out for the match alone.  Farrell gave him the opportunity to walk away but Hex with the fans on his side was ready to fight.  

Hex started well, keeping both Farrell and Wylde under control but the numbers game kicked in and the Family made Hex's weak knee a target.  Wylde and Farrell then dominated and looked like they had the match under control.  That was until the lights suddenly went out and some western style music started to play.  When the lights came back on, the masked man known as the Sunset Rider was on the appron waiting for Hex to tag him in.  Sunset Rider full of energy then took care of both Farrell and Wylde allowing Hex to get back to his feet.  Hex downed Wylde with a choke slam and the Rider finished off Farrell with a driver after avoiding a punch with the knuckle dusters.  It was victory for the mysterious masked man.  Whilst he celebrated with Hex, Lord Steven was furious on the outside claiming that Sunset Rider is Sunset Skip (whose career he ended last year) but everyone seemed to deny it and enjoyed the moment to end the show.  

Heavyweight Champion Brad O'Brien faced a huge challenge in his first defense of DOA's biggest prize.  He went up against Richard Holliday who had made his way to DOA from across the pond.  This was a fast paced encounter which went back and forth, and it seemed at times that Holliday's experience and with the fans behind him was going to take the gold.  However, O'Brien reached the end of his tether and the champion attempted to use the championship belt but Holliday was wise to it and countered.  As the MLW star looked at the belt he contemplated using it himself but Lord Steven Farrell ran out and grabbed the belt.  This was enough to cause a distraction for Brad O'Brien to hit his spinning TKO and pin the American star to retain the DOA Heavyweight Championship. 

Things started to get brutal when heavyweights Big 'F'N' Joe battled Blake one on one in a Bankhouse Brawl match. This one was brutal and not for the faint hearted as Blake attempted to match up to the king of Hardcore Big Joe.  There was a loud cheer as Big Joe took the victory, something which he needed to help bounce back from losing the DOA Heavyweight title last year.  

DOA Women's champion Leia Elise has been unstoppable in recent months and everyone who has gone against her has failed to come close to taking her championship.  At Blaze of Glory her title was not on the line but her opponent Karama had the opportunity to earn a shot at the gold in May when DOA returns to Great Yarmouth, if she could beat Elise.  Against all odds, Karama matched up to Elise and took the victory in what could be seen as an upset.  Elise was a mix of shocked and angry and knows that she will need to up her game on May 4th at Yarmagedon.  Karama has beat her once, can she do it again when it matters most for the title? 

Since winning the Adrenaline cup last year, Sir Ryan Matthews' progress seems to have halted much to his frustration.  He set out to get things back on track but yet again fell short as he battled 'The Banker' Marc Lloyd who himself was still getting back on track, but this was now 2 out of 2 victories on 2024.  Sir Ryan was not happy when he spoke to AK after the match but reminded everyone he is still the cup holder and is due a shot at the Adrenaline championship. 

The Adrenaline championship was on the line in the opening match as champion Furio defended against Dillon Slade.  Slade who has mostly been in tag team action recently as one half of the champions, proved himself yet again but could not quite do enough to overcome Furio who made a successful title defense.  

Last time DOA was in Great Yarmouth, Jack E Hyde was joined by two big masked brutes as they assaulted Hex.  The two men were revealed as tag team NLP - Crowley and Mitch Basher, who had officially joined the Cult of Hyde.  Jack E Hyde was in their corner as they made their official DOA debut in tag team action against Act Two who made their long awaited return to DOA.  Jack Knudsen and Benjamin Harland had their work cut out against the two big men and the odds were stacked against them.  NLP showed they had no regard for the rules and were disqualified as they took things too far.  Even after the bell rang, they continued their assault on Act Two until Hot Stuff ran out to make the save.  The Cult of Hyde continues to make a statement and show they have no limits.  Should they be watching out for Hex though?

DOA headed to Ipswich once again to kick off its 2024 calendar of events with 'Reloaded'.  The big main event saw The Banker Marc Lloyd take on Ben Jones, with Lloyd keen to settle a score that dated back to 2023.  The last time DOA was in Ipswich, Jones and Lloyd represented their home town in a tag team match, but it did not go to plan as Jones turned his back not only on the the Banker, but also on his hometown of Ipswich.  This resulted in Lloyd suffering a defeat against the Farrell Family.  After the match Ben Jones blamed Lloyd's stint as Director of Authority for the attack, where he claimed that Lloyd had over looked him.  

Whilst Marc Lloyd went in to the match with revenge on his mind, Ben Jones entered with something to prove, a point to make, to show that he can make it on his own as a singles wrestler.  The fans were heavily behind the Banker and both men battled it out with opportunity to take the victory.  However, Lloyd was the one who managed to hit his signature bankers boot and pin Jones for the three count.  It was a well needed victory for Lloyd who had lost his last two matches in DOA.  The fans celebrated with the home town hero as a promising 2024 got underway for the Banker.  Ben Jones on the other hand will no doubt be looking at ways to bounce back from this big defeat. 

2023 ended in controversial circumstances when the DOA Heavyweight Championship changed hands twice in Great Yarmouth.  Hex beat Sullivan King to win the belt but was then jumped by two new comers under instruction from Jack E Hyde.  This gave Brad O'Brien the perfect opportunity to cash in his go 4 glory briefcase, which he did, and he pinned Hex to win the title.  Reloaded kicked off with Franklin coming out but then Lord Steven Farrell interrupted.  After running down Ipswich, Lord Steven stated that the new champion would not be defending his title tonight as Ipswich was not worthy but he would defend his Social Media championship against Franklin.  Brad O'Brien made his grand entrance with both belts and battled it out with Franklin.  

Franklin looked the more dominant of the two but the numbers game soon started to put the odds in O'Brien's favor as Lord Steven Farrell got involved several times from ringside.  It looked like Franklin was about to win and take the Social Media title after hitting his side effect, however Lord Steven placed O'Brien's foot on the ropes.  Franklin allowed himself to be distracted by Farrell and this cost him as O'Brien was able to down him with his trademark TKO and win the match. 

As the Heavyweight champion celebrated with Farrell, Hex made his way out and he did not look happy.  He was scheduled to face Farrell in a singles match and despite the Lord's protests of the match getting underway so quickly, the bell rang.  Hex was dominant and Farrell did not get a look in until O'Brien caused a vital distraction on the outside.  It was similar to what had just happened in the opening match as the Family members used every dirty tactic possible.  Hex hit a side walk slam but before the three count, Brad pulled referee Cody out of the ring.  Cody sent O'Brien away but this distraction had allowed Farrell to get his brass knuckles and was looking to nail Hex.  Franklin ran back out though and took the knuckles, directing Lord Steven straight in to a chokeslam from Hex who then pinned him for the three.  Hex is on a mission and still has scores to settle with not only Brad O'Brien but Jack E Hyde and his so called cult.  

Jack E Hyde was actually in action at Reloaded but blink and you could have missed it.  He took on naive new comer Danny Fear.  Danny was interviewed by AK before the match and spoke of his excitement and seemed oblivious to how dangerous and unstable Hyde could be.  He came out for the match with a chance to win Hyde's pandemonium title, and the stipulation he chose was a submissions match.  Jack E Hyde refused to shake hands and made light work of the new comer when he hit a stunner and then locked in the psycho clutch.  The match was stopped when Danny Fear passed out, meaning Jack E Hyde was the winner. 

In a strange twist, Jack E Hyde took the microphone after the match and told Danny Fear he respected the fact he did not tap out and kept fighting until he was out cold.  He then handed him a mask and asked him to follow him in his cult.  Fear took the mask from Hyde and they left together.  Is this another member of Hyde's cult which has been heavily expanding in recent months?

Sullivan King and Rexx Wylde were scheduled for another shot at Danny Darko and Dillon Slade - the DOA Tag Team Champions. However, Sullivan King did not show up to the event, seemingly turning his back on Wylde and the Farrell family after what happened in December at the Great Yarmouth show.  Rexx made his way out and stated that due to the 'pull' the Family had, he had secured himself another championship partner for the night, and Adranaline Champion Furio made his way out.  It was a bit of a miss match and Darko and Slade were not phased as they looked to keep their impressive tag team title run going.  At one point, Wylde held Slade for Furio to hit the superkick.  However,  Slade managed to move and Furio nailed Wylde.  Wylde was furious and started to shove Furio whilst shouting at him, but the Adrenaline champion was having none of it and responded by spitting blood in Wylde's face before walking out.  This allowed Dillon Slade to nail Rexx with a cutter and win the match for the tag team champions.  

It was not a good evening for the Adrenaline cup holder Sir Ryan Matthews who saw his momentum drop a bit more.  He showed up expecting a shot at Furio's Adrenaline title, but the match was changed at short notice and he went up against Spike.  Last March, it was a role reversal as Spike entered the Adrenaline cup and prepared for a match with Ali OK, only for Matthews to step in and defeat Spike.  This time it was Spike catching Matthews by surprise as he reversed Sir Ryan's sharpshooter into a pinfall.  Sir Ryan Matthews was not happy and will now be looking to get back his momentum.
