BRAZEN Presents: 2/17 and 2/18 Double Shot
Posted by Lance Warner on 19 Feb 2023
The latest BRAZEN Double Shot took place at a special event in none other than the DEFIANCE Wrestle-Plex… more appropriately, a special show open to the public! After recent renovations to the training facilities as DEFIANCE continues its successful touring across the United States and Canada, the newly-customized BRAZEN-Plex will be home to crowds of up to 700 to come in and see BRAZEN’s Best and Brightest!
All titles were on the line over the course of the two nights, including a Tag Team Title defense where High Flyer IV was allowed to sub in for Kaz Troy, out for this Double Shot thanks to the newly restocked BIG Trouble, led by BIGBOSS Batts! Nathan Cross looks to start his maiden voyage as BRAZEN Star Cup holder and new BRAZEN Onslaught Champion Leon Van Zandt looks to do to the same! Lastly, can BRAZEN’s most unlikely champion to date, Nick “Lotto” Otto, turn back another challenger in Gunther Adler? Check the results!

THE TITLE PICTURE
--We have NEW BRAZEN Tag Team Champions in the form of BIG Trouble! Once again, BIGBOSS Batts holds the gold, this time with the 18-year-old prodigy Antonio Prince, making the latter one of the youngest BRAZEN starts to hold gold in the promotion! After Kaz went down due to injury at the hands of a BIG Trouble attack at the last Double Shot, High Flyer IV was allowed to sub in for the scheduled title defense. However, due to the numbers advantage BIG Trouble had, Big Kahuna Ali’i and Jack Halcyon were able to neutralize Killjoy at ringside long enough for BIGBOSS Batts to hit Silver with a belt shot and Prince took advantage with the BIG Air Cutter to win the championships!
--Leon Van Zandt wanted only the toughest competition and he got it in the form of “The Young Bull” Tate Newell! Newell brought the fight to Van Zandt with a blend of brawling and flying, but at the end of the day, The Professional stuck to his guns and tapped out Newell to retain! The longest-reigning and only two-time former Onslaught Champion Michael Van Warren has made it no secret he plans on coming back for the title sooner than later!
--Nick “Lotto” Otto has used some of his $5M Lottery winnings to hire the services of “The Big Bad” BRAGG! BRAZEN’s self-professed Humblest Wrestler defeated Gunther Adler to retain the title… but now has TEAM HOSS member Angel Trinidad staring down the barrel! With Team HOSS making an impactul return (with Strong AF now in their ranks), Angel Trinidad wants to shake up things on all levels and has promised he’ll claim the BRAZEN Championship whether or not Otto has BRAGG! That match will take place at the next Double Shot!
--And lastly, Nathan Cross defeated Curt Cunning Dos in one fall to zero to retain the BRAZEN Star Cup. But the previous Cup holder, “Cunning” Curt Cunning has promised by hook or by crook, he will have the title again!
ONES TO WATCH
--The restocked BIG Trouble are causing trouble for everyone in BRAZEN! Big Kahuna Ali’i and former BRAZEN Champ and BRAZEN Star Cup holder “One Shot” Jack Halcyon has dubbed himself The BIG Shot and won’t be ignored any more. After making quick work of The Barrio Boys and winning the BRAZEN Tag Team Titles, they’ve promised to rule BRAZEN with BIG iron fists!
--The House have promised they are coming for the BRAZEN Tag Team Titles! The former sixteen-time tag team champions want the BRAZEN gold and the last time they shared a ring with BIG Trouble, they were screwed over. With a big winning streak behind them, BRAZEN Matchmaker Capital Punishment has granted the match! But not far behind them is The Monster Mash who have been racking up wins in their own right! The uber-popular Count Novick and The Monster have won again, along with mysterious newcomers Mucha Lucha, and not to mention New Day Rising, the tag division has several very worthy challenges coming for the titles!
--The flamboyant Lex Suplexy wins again quickly with his Sexy Suplexy finisher! The energy of the young amateur wrestler seems to be contagious whenever he arrives and some are saying it won’t be long before he gets more serious about chasing gold!
--Leyenda de Ocho is wanting to make another play at the BRAZEN Championship after being screwed over once by Nick “Lotto” Otto! He has vowed to come after the title and the rich young $5M Lottery winner!
--Brayden W. Levrington (w/Cristiano Caballero now at his side) has announced he’s coming for the BRAZEN Star Cup as well! He has told the current champion Nathan Cross to keep the Cup warm for him because when he calls his shot, the cocky young star won’t miss!
--In other newcomer news, Franco Marchesi takes another big win over fellow newcomer The Renowned Gabriel. BRAZEN’s first wrestling magician almost stole the match by rolling under the ring and attacking from the other side, but Marchesi wasn’t in the mood for games and laid him out with the deadly flying European uppercut called the Flak Cannon.
--In other rumors, BRAZEN is said to possibly be hiring an influx of new female talent with talk of a possible BRAZEN Women’s Championship to be added down the line!
