Since making his DOA debut earlier in the year, RJ Singh has not only been a firm fan favorite but has also made quite an impact. After a run of victories, he earned a shot at the DOA Heavyweight championship, he came close to winning but was cheated. He has since been working hard to get another opportunity. At Suffolk Slam in front of a packed Bury St Edmunds, Singh faced a major challenge as he went one on one with Powerhouse Blake.
Blake is one of the toughest and biggest wrestlers in DOA, and he himself has been trying to put a run together to try and get a shot at DOA's biggest prize. This blockbuster main event started with both men giving a sign of their approaches, Blake using strength and Singh using his agility and years of experience. In the early stages, Singh tried to out do Blake using his pace and sent Blake to the outside for some time out and to recoup. However, the tide was turned as Singh followed Blake to the outside and was caught out which resulted in him being thrown into the ring post. Blake was able to take control using his brute strength from this point although RJ was never quite down and out, and found a way back in to the match.
Eventually Blake attempted to finish Singh off with a variation of a powerbomb but Singh rolled down his back and managed to roll him up for the three. The crowd went crazy and celebrated as RJ had yet again overcome a huge challenge. After the match, in an unexpected turn of events, Blake snatched the mic from RJ who was about to speak and demanded that he shake his hand like a man. Singh was reluctant and shook Blake's hand as the Powerhouse then went on to pay tribute to Singh and all he had done for British Wrestling. Blake added that in December, DOA would be in his hometown of Peterborough and he would be giving it his all for his friends and family. The crowd then showed appreciation to both Blake and Singh as they shook hands once again. Who will both of these men be up against at Clash at the Cressett in Peterborough?
DOA Heavyweight Champion Brad O'Brien had another huge challenge ahead of him as he defended the title against former champion Big Joe. With Lord Steven Farrell back by his side, O'Brien used every cheap trick in the book to try and keep Big Joe down but he just kept coming at him. Eventually, after an exchange of forearms to each others heads, Lord Steven slid a chair in to the ring. Both Joe and Brad snatched it and there was a tussle which led to the referee taking a slight knock. Brad let go of the chair and threw himself down to the matt as Lord Steven the helped the referee to turn around. Seeing Big Joe holding the chair and Brad down, the referee incorrectly concluded that Joe had hit the champion so disqualified him.
Big Joe was furious and protested but the referee was sticking to his decision. In a rage, Joe smashed Brad O'Brien with the chair and threw him out the ring. As Brad was helped by Farrell, Joe took the mic and asked Brad to step back in the ring to go again, but Brad refused and the Farrell Family due made a quick exit as Big Joe came after them.
Female wrestler Artemis was making her first defence of the Pandemonium championship, and it was against Sir Ryan Matthews. The stipulation chosen by Matthews was that a 5 count would win the match rather than the usual 3 count. Sir Ryan was trying to get back to winning ways and maybe under estimated Artemis who was on top throughout and came close to winning. There was a moment of confusion when Artemis pinned Sir Ryan for the three and fans thought she had won until they were reminded it needed to be a five. Ryan then had a bit of a rage and went for Artemis' eyes which sen t her down towards the ropes. As Ryan was lectured by the referee, Women's champion Leia Elise ran out and nailed Artemis with her title belt. This gave Ryan the victory as he was crowned the new Pandemonium champion, winning his first DOA title. As for Artemis, she was helped to the back and will be looking for revenge as she goes one on one with Elise at the Anniversary show in October, with the Woman's title on the line.
The crowd in Bury were in for a treat when they saw some fast paced action from the Adrenaline division. Furio who has been on quite a run as Adrenaline champion put the title on the line against the exciting up and comer Josh Spicer. Despite Spicer coming closing to causing an upset, Furio continued his run after knocking Spicer out with a kick to the head and then pinning him. Who will step up next against Furio to try and take the championship from him?
The Banker Marc Lloyd continued his good run of form as he defeated Vinnie Kray. This stemmed from there altercation at Beach Ball Mania when Kray's actions prevented Lloyd from cashing in his Go 4 Glory briefcase against Brad O'Brien. It was not an easy victory for Lloyd who also found that the fans had a new found appreciation for Kray. He finally won after his bankers boot to the face, but there were no hints afterwards as to when he was going to cash in the briefcase!
Dillon Slade squared off with Brett Semtex in an intense match. Slade who after losing the tag team titles with his partner Danny Darko, is on a mission to prove he can win alone, has been finding things are not going well. Despite nearly causing an upset on a few occasions against former Heavyweight Champion Semtex, Slade fell short when he was caught out by a spear and an F5. It was another defeat for Slade.
After the match, Brett Semtex helped Dillon Slade up and showed him respect by offering a handshake. Slade reacted by pushing Semtex away and then slapping him in the face. Semtex quickly lifted Slade up on his shoulders and was about to hot another F5. However, Slade's partner Danny Darko came in the ring and pleaded with Semtex to put Slade down. Brett out of respect for Darko put Slade down and left the ring. Slade reacted by pushing Darko and then saying that he was sick of coming so close. He stated that this all started with Darko and would end with Darko as he vowed to beat him. This ended with Slade telling Darko to show up at the anniversary show. This will be a huge match, will we see a different Dillon Slade as he tries to prove himself against the man he was a teag team champion with?
Meanwhile, Cult Members NLP and Moldark faced off against Danny Darko, Hex and Hot Stuff in a 6 man tag team match. Cult leader Jack E Hyde was ringside making sure his cult took care of business but it did not all go to plan. Despite winning the match when Basher pinned Darko, Moldark found himself in the ring alone with Hex, Hot Stuff and Darko. Darko lined Moldark up and ripped his mask off. Moldark made a quick exit backstage with his t shirt over his head. How will the big man react to being unmasked?
