Chico Adams won the Florida Heavyweight Championship from Aaron Epic, lost it to Chasyn Rance, but won it back in a 3-way pinning Chasyn. Deon James almost had the title but this Friday, it will be one-on-one for Chico and Deon.
Chasyn Rance is still looking for the Florida Heavyweight title as he had it in his grasp after almost 10 years but this Friday, he’ll be focusing on the rookie sensation and New Japan “star” known as “Skinny Boy” to many fans, Adam Schmidt. Schmidt surprisingly pinned his trainer Chasyn in a tag team match last event at the Dojo.
The team of Amber Nova and Axx Clover have been beating great teams every time they get in the ring. It’s quite a dynamic between the two as far as brute force with Axx Clover and the beauty but deadly wrath of Amber Nova. Critical Mayhem, Carlos Gabriel and Andrew Merlin, better have their A-game this Friday as the champs are a dangerous pair.
After being defeated by Nova & Axx, CT Brown and Ariel Dominguez look to re-establish their formidable pairing as they take on the more seasoned team of Jason Dugan and Rey Xion, Brothers in Arms. Whomever wins this match will be surely be looking for a tag team title match very soon.
After failing to beat Critical Mayhem, Mike Reed dumped Jake Shadows as a partner. Now, after a verbal berating, Shadows looks to get his revenge on Upgrade this Friday at the Dojo.
Last event, Mike Austin challenged Troy Hollywood and the challenge has been accepted. The finalist of the 2018 Florida J Cup will be facing the Team Vision Dojo level 2 graduate to see if he can hang. This will be a tough task for Mike Austin but we know he’ll work hard to win this match.
There will be 2 more matches this Friday. You won’t want to miss this event. This will be the last BELIEVE event at the Dojo until Friday, October 5 (mark it on your calendar), but don’t miss this Friday!

My Thoughts:
Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.
Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.
In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
