In what was DOA's biggest show in history, Clash at the Cresset in Peterborough, Brad O'Brien overcame another huge challenge to successfully defend the DOA Heavyweight Championship in controversial circumstances. The 'Beefcake' went up against American star Sean Legacy in the main event in what promised to be a blockbuster match. Legacy showed just why he is one of the top stars around and pleased the crowd with his hard hitting fast paced style. Brad O'Brien matched up to him and showed everyone just why he is a worthy DOA champion with a hard hitting and fast paced style of his own.
However, Sean Legacy was the one set to take the title from O'Brien when he downed him with an impactful superplex from the top. He attempted to pin O'Brien who looked down and out but before the referee could count the three, he was pulled out of the ring by Lord Steven Farrell who had left the announce table to once again help his friend. As the referee argued with Farrell on the outside, it allowed O'Brien to low blow Legacy and then drop him with his signature TKO move. The referee returned to the ring and yet again, O'Brien retained the Heavyweight championship thanks to a helping hand.
As the King of Couture celebrated his victory in the ring, Lord Steven joined him and they decided to continue the attack on Legacy to really make a statement. As Farrell held Sean Legacy, O'Brien picked the belt up and was about to nail him with it until RJ Singh suddenly ran out and chased them away. O'Brien and Farrell backed away as Singh helped up Sean Legacy and they shook hands. RJ Singh really has won the hearts of the DOA fans and he was making a clear statement that he is ready to stand up to the Family.
Earlier in the show, RJ had been in action and impressed yet again as he took on former NXT star Jakk Sellstrom in a very entertaining encounter. This was another well earned victory as he made it two wins out of two with his trademark DDT since coming to DOA. People really are already starting to take notice of RJ Singh and it was another victory that could be seen as an upset as Sellstrom was the clear favorite for many going into the match.
Whilst RJ may be working his way to a title shot, Brett Semtex, Big Joe and H Hood all had the opportunity for a shot at the DOA heavyweight championship. They battled it out in a hard hitting triple threat match with the winner going on to face the champion at Yarmagedon in Great Yarmouth on May 4th. Semtex and Big Joe who are both former champions both were hungry to get another shot at the gold and despite their rivalry, they appeared to work together during the early part of the match to keep Hood at bay. However, it was not long before the chaos broke out and all three men were going at each other in a match that was not for the faint hearted.
Semtex showed the same determination that actually helped him win the title back in 2022 on his DOA debut, as he lifted H Hood and dropped him with an F5. Semtex took the victory and stood tall knowing that he now has the huge opportunity to win back the title he lost last year.
The DOA women;s championship was on the line as Leia Elise defended the title against Fiona. Elise was determined to bounce back from the none title match she lost back in March at the show in Great Yarmouth against Karama. It was jot easy though as Fiona gave it everything she had and made it very difficult for the dominant champion to keep her down. Elise finally showed just why she is the unstoppable champion and scored a pinfall victory.
It appears that the so called curse of the Adranline Division championship is now a thing of the past as Furio again successfully defended the title. He went up against the man from America who was promoting body positivity Cody Fluffman. Fluffman maybe took his eyes off the ball in this one as he was loving the reaction from the packed Peterborough crowd, and that allowed Furio to take full advantage and retain, proving that any curse of the title is now a thing of the past.
In a match made last month in Bury St Edmunds, Ty Hazard and Ben Jones each got to select their own tag team partner for a huge tag team match. Ben Jones blamed the loss last month against Hazard on the fact he had to team with Marc Lloyd, but now he had a chance to team with Alton Thorne to form 'Beauty and the Beast'. Meanwhile, Ty Hazard looked to long time old friend and former DOA Adranline champion Ashley Dunn, to form the Mind Splitters. Whilst Ty and Dunn were in the same page, Ben Jones who has been enjoying a singles run since the split of 'The Lads' found it hard to share the limelight with Thorne and this proved to be very costly. The lack of deep work between Thorne and Jones allowed for Ty Hazard and Ashley Dunn to take a well earned victory.
Last month, Director of Authority Alec Burnitt stripped Jack E Hyde of the Pandemonium title, and it was put up for grabs in a 10 man royal rumble. The match featured Sir Ryan Matthews, Hex, Moldark, Sunset Rider, Vinnie Kray, Puppet Poole, Dillon Slade, Josh Spicer, Crowley of NLP, and Joey Cement. With three members of the Cult included in the match, Jack E Hyde was ring side and instructed Crowley, Moldark and Puppet Poole to focus on Hex, meanwhile Vinnie Kray was once again after Sunset Rider's mask in order to claim the bounty. The match finally came down to just Hex and the monster Moldark who defeated Hex in a singles match last month. It all went wrong for the Cult of Hyde as Hex managed to eliminate Moldark and become the new Pandemonium champion. However, this will no doubt not be the last he has heard from the Cult of Hyde as Jack E Hyde made his frustrations known at ringside.
