Rising Star of the Week
Amir Yusuf
This week’s Rising Star of the Week was Amir Yusuf! This week was Clash of Kingdoms II, and on that show Amir Yusuf had a big match ahead of him as he faced his rival Ryan Wilson for Ryan’s New Breed Championship. This was a fantastic match, and in the end Amir got a huge moment for himself as he managed to win the New Breed Championship, making this the first title win in Amir’s career! Amir has definitely always had potential, and this was the best way possible for him to capitalize on it. This was a huge night for Amir Yusuf, so congratulations to the new New Breed Champion!

Show of the Week
Clash of Kingdoms II
The Show of the Week for this week was Clash of Kingdoms II! This show was full of fantastic matches from start to finish, and we saw two huge Championships change hands as both Amir Yusuf and Andre Walker managed to leave Clash of Kingdoms with titles around their waists. This show also had matches such as Myles versus Mr. DEDEDE that delivered in every way possible. Clash of Kingdoms II was a great way to follow up Territorial Invasion, as EAW held a second fantastic free-per-view event in a row.
Match of the Week
Myles vs Mr. DEDEDE
This week’s Match of the Week was the match that was actually revealed at Territorial Invasion, Myles versus the returning Mr. DEDEDE! This match was amazing from start to finish, and the best of both competitors were brought out in this match as Mr. DEDEDE eventually resorted to using the North Star, which has only ever been kicked out of twice. Myles would surprisingly make it a third time, which just goes to show how far these two pushed each other. Both men should definitely be proud of themselves for this match, this is one that’ll without a doubt be remembered for a very long time to come.
Promoer of the Week
Mr. DEDEDE
This week’s Promoer of the Week was Mr. DEDEDE! The last time we saw this man compete was at Pain for Pride when he failed to defeat Adam Lucas for the Hardcore Championship, but after seeing his promos this week it was like he never left. Mr. DEDEDE isn’t just someone known as one of the greatest of all time. A lot of people view him as the greatest, and even now those claims hold up when you see everything he brings to the table. Mr. DEDEDE’s promos are always unbelievably good, and this week was no different, even after all the time he spent away from the ring.
Champion of the Week
Minerva
The Champion of the Week for this week was the National Elite Champion, Minerva! This week was a very personal one for Minerva as she defended her Championship against someone she has had a lot of history with early on in her career in Cleopatra. Not only did they have a lot of history, but they’d also make history by being an all women’s match for the National Elite Championship in the middle east. In the end Minerva managed to capture the victory and retain her title against her long time rival, keeping the National Elite Championship in New Eden’s grasp. Congratulations, Minerva!
Most Valuable Elitist
Drake King
This week’s Most Valuable Elitist was the EAW Champion, Drake King! At Clash of Kingdoms II, Drake also had a very personal match, as he was defending his title against Jake Smith. Earlier this season these two faced each other and Jake would actually capture the victory, but that was not the case this week. Instead, Drake would defeat Jake to retain his Championship in brutal fashion, lighting his own boot on fire before hitting Jake with the “Book of Dristianity” punt kick. That was not how anyone expected Clash of Kingdoms II to end, but in the end it was able to help Drake keep the EAW Championship.
