Rising Star of the Week
Halsey Neel
This week’s Rising Star of the Week is Halsey Neel! On Voltage, Halsey faced Team Eden member Ronan Malosi in a match to determine who’d face Hikari Kanno for the Hardcore Championship at King of Elite! This match provided a great opportunity for both Ronan and Halsey who were looking to get the title away from Hikari, and in the end Halsey managed to get the job done! This match didn’t entirely go without controversy, but this victory gave Halsey a huge opportunity to potentially win her first Championship in EAW, a huge opportunity for her! Congratulations to Halsey Neel, the new number one contender for the Hardcore Championship!

Show of the Week
Voltage
This week’s Show of the Week was Voltage! Voltage this week was amazing, featuring tons of great matches and doing a lot to make King of Elite even more exciting! The very first match on the show was Voltage’s King of Elite semifinals match, and along with this was a beat the clock challenge between King of Elite opponents Lexi and ARIA which featured tons of chaos thanks to the Ice Aces as well as Xander Payne and Ryan Wilson. The main event was another amazing match as Myles took on Xander Payne, and with so much more to offer Voltage this week did an amazing job of building towards King of Elite!
Match of the Week
Adam Lucas vs Alex Myers
The Match of the Week for this week was the King of Elite quarterfinals match between Adam Lucas and Alex Myers! Both Adam and Alex this season have been fantastic, putting on fantastic performances whenever they had the opportunity. This week they were up against each other with a lot on the line, and knowing that they put everything they had into this match. With a very surprising ending thanks to ARIA’s decision to forfeit on Alex’s behalf, these two did an amazing job and should both be proud of their performances both in this match and in this entire tournament so far!
Promoer of the Week
Adam Lucas
The Promoer of the Week for this week was Adam Lucas! Adam Lucas this week had amazing promotional videos heading into his match against Alex Myers! Adam has been on a mission to win his first World Championship, and believing that it’s only a matter of time until he’s reached his goal this week provided some interesting promos as he was up against a competitor he respects in Alex Myers. While these two Elitists aren’t bitter enemies, their passion and desire to win this tournament shined this week. Adam Lucas has become an amazing competitor and this week has shown just how great he is in every aspect.
Champion of the Week
Ruler
This week’s Champion of the Week is the New Breed Champion, Ruler! On Dynasty, Ruler went up against Jay Jerry Johnson, who has spent the season having some great performances, including in the King of Elite tournament. With this in mind, these two had an excellent match on Dynasty, one that ended with a victory for the New Breed Champion. Ruler had a great showing this week, not being distracted by his situation with Caroline like he has been in the past, and this all allowed Ruler to leave Dynasty with another win and even more momentum. Congratulations to the New Breed Champion!
Most Valuable Elitist
Drake King
This week’s Most Valuable Elitist was Drake King! On Voltage, Drake went up against TLA in a King of Elite semifinals match! These two have a lot of history, but their hatred for each other was not all that fueled them this week. Whoever won this match would advance to the finals along with Bronson Daniels and Showdown’s representative, and in the end Drake would be the one to accomplish that! This match would have some controversy thanks to a rope break not being seen, but in the end this still turned out to be a very big win for Drake, who now has the opportunity to live up to his words and win the King of Elite tournament.
