Rising Star of the Week
Donovan Duke
The Rising Star of the Week for this week is the 24/7 Contract holder, Donovan Duke! At Bloodsport, Donovan Duke put his contract on the line against Lucas Johnson, Shane Gates and Danny Tanner in what would be announced as a “McAllister Mayhem” match. This match was the first of its kind, and in a way Donovan Duke would make history as he’d become the first winner of the special Persephone’s Choice match, as he managed to retain his 24/7 Contract against the odds. Congratulations to Donovan Duke, who still had the opportunity to get a match for any Championship he wants, whenever he wants!

Show of the Week
Bloodsport
This week’s Show of the Week was Bloodsport, Voltage’s first free-per-view of the season! This show really had it all, and there were good matches from top to bottom, from the match between Minerva and Chris Elite that opened the show, to the Universal Women’s Championship match, to the EAW Championship main event, every single match delivered. There were also tons of surprises, such as the return of Cleopatra and Captain Charisma’s incentive for New Eden to compete at Territorial Invasion. This was the best way possible to close out the first three weeks of free-per-views in the season, this show definitely delivered!
Match of the Week
Drake King vs Justin Windgate
The Beef of the Week and Match of the Week for this week was the EAW Championship match between Drake King and Justin Windgate. Despite this being their first ever singles match, this match became extremely personal and at Bloodsport they got the opportunity to do whatever they wanted to each other in their Chainsaw Deathmatch. These two put everything on the line, and in the end that gave everyone watching an incredible match that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Justin Windgate may not have been able to win the Championship, but he put on a performance that he has every reason to feel proud of.
Promoer of the Week
Jamie O’Hara
This week’s Promoer of the Week is the man that defeated Myles and is now leading Voltage’s Brand Warfare team, Jamie O’Hara! Leading up to Bloodsport, Jamie O’Hara and Myles both managed to put out really good promos, but at this point that’s to be expected from Elitists of this level. Jamie O’Hara is one of the most accomplished Elitists ever, and this week he once again showed everyone exactly why that’s the case. Jamie O’Hara managed to get the victory at Bloodsport, and with amazing work like this Jamie will definitely be a big threat for everyone opposing him at Territorial Invasion!
Champion of the Week
Ms. Extreme
The Champion of the Week for this week was the Universal Women’s Champion, Ms. Extreme! At Bloodsport Ms. Extreme defended her Championship against Hikari Kanno in a Scaffold match, but that’s not all there was to it. Their match had an added stipulation, as the loser of their match was going to have their head shaved. In the end Ms. Extreme did successfully retain the Championship, and after humiliating Hikari by shaving her head right after she managed to retain the title, the Universal Women’s Champion was undoubtedly this week’s Champion of the Week. Congratulations Ms. Extreme!
Most Valuable Elitist
Drake King
This week’s Most Valuable Elitist is the EAW Champion, Drake King! At Bloodsport, Drake defended his Championship against Justin Windgate in a Chainsaw Deathmatch! This was bound to be a big match with that title on the line, but with this stipulation added the two went on to have an unbelievable match. In the end, Drake would retain his Championship in brutal fashion. It definitely wasn’t the popular decision as Drake would be booed out of the building along with New Eden, but in the end that Championship is still in the possession of New Eden. Congratulations Drake King after his first EAW Championship defense!
