Absent Are the Saints

Segment Deadline: SUNDAY, MAY 25 @ 12 MIDNIGHT CENTRAL



- THIS IS IT! Twenty athletes from all over the world will be competing in The Crucible, a battle royal where entrants will be entering at two minute intervals. EXODUS Pro's finest will be competing with special guests from all over the world, including representatives from Pro Wrestling FRONTIER, Kingdom of Japan Pro Wrestling, and others! Confirmed names for The Crucible include former World Champion Fiona Collins, Dan Stein from SHOOT Project, KJPW's Chikao Kessin and TAKU, long-time veteran Pat Gordon Jr., Abby Park, Devilkiller, Ambrosia, Justin Brooks, (R)Evolution Wrestling Champion Brando Martial, Pro Wrestling FRONTIER's Michael Hopkins, the returning Brandon Banks, the debuting Samantha Raine, Free Agent Kerry Windsor, Cthulu Jones, Brett Sands, and Chuck Matthews, F1W Champion White Phoenix, with two more names to be revealed! We know for sure Park will be entering the battle royal at #1, but the big surprise will be where Chuck Matthews decides to enter! Who will be the remaining two names? Who will go on to meet the World Champion at Korakuen Hall at Ascendency?



- Mr. EXODUS himself has finally reached the apex of EXODUS. Shocking the world on EXPRO On FX #15 and becoming World Champion, Johnny Cannon has finally achieved the dream he longed for since his first appearance in EXODUS Pro. Now in his V1 Defense, Cannon must do his part to stop Christum Furor, who has not only exercised an earned rematch clause, but sliced through the line to get to this point! Taking out Andreas Lasiewicz and his own ally Kira T. Zeppeli, Furor now gets the opportunity to become the first two-time World Champion in EXODUS history. What will happen when these two stars collide?



- This is the match she never wanted. Lexy Chapel has grown up idolizing the Director of EXODUS Pro, making no mistake of not just her hero worship of "The Saint of Violence," but the admiration and crush she has on the first ballot Hall of Famer. However, in her V1 Defense of the International Title, she must now put that all aside to do battle against her hero for the belt that he had some of his most famous battles for in EXODUS' spiritual ancestor, New Era Wrestling! Chapel pleaded for Collins to cancel the match and give her a new opponent on EXPRO On FX #16, but Collins refused and is forcing her to face him to continue her climb up the EXODUS ladder. It's no secret that when it comes time for stepping into the ring in his own company, Jonathan Collins has stepped up and shown the world just how great he really can be. Will the YouTube sensation find herself too awestruck to defend her title, or will she dig deep to find the courage to put down the legendary Saint of Violence for the second generation of a title he once held so dear? Surely the "curse" of the International Title is in the back of her mind...



- At our last iPPV, Tiffani Stearns defeated Nate Soto to win the vacant San Diego Bay Title. The following show, when Stearns was supposed to defend against Griffin Hawkins, Cleon Gray stripped her of the belt, giving it to his "hall monitor," Savannah Taylor. The legitimacy of Taylor's reign has been questioned by many, but it has only served to enrage Stearns, furious she was robbed of a title she fought incredibly hard to hold onto. Now in one of the most famous venues in pro wrestling, Tiffani Stearns channels the violent nature of her husband Darrin to challenge Savannah Taylor in a hardcore match. Anything goes in what is sure to be a violent and brutal match for the San Diego Bay Title! Will the She-Wolf successfully defend the title and silence the critics, or will So-Cal Sweetheart reach into her new bloodlines to show Taylor the type of violence that New York City fans crave?



- Perhaps no greater surprise happened on EXPRO On FX #16 than the return of former LEGION leader Daisuke Iwakuma. Following the reunion of Iwakuma and his partner Kameron Chase, the two laid waste to the Tag Team Champions with help from KJPW's Norihiro Akashi and a mysterious young woman that followed with him. With all those extra parties roaming ringside, including Stacey-X for Trouble, you can better believe this one is shaping up to be anything but a scientific affair and more of a fight! Can Trouble make another successful defense of the Tag Team Titles and continue a six-month reign?

A BONUS MATCH! EXODUSPro.com will be hosting a special pre-show match, where (R)Evolution Tag Team Champions Rush Hour, the duo of Black Jones and Duke Togo, will defend the titles!
