The Autumn Effect 3: A Date Which Will Live In Infamy

- Last year, the crowd was firmly behind Chris Strike as he buried Christum Furor alive. This year, neither man fully has the support of the crowd, nor are they universally reviled as they meet one last time! Earning this match by virtue of winning the 2015 Honor Cup, Furor still comes in as the least favorite man in the crowd, especially considering how he's the target of Nicholas Gray's Imperium. Can Furor reclaim what he once referred to as his destiny at AE3, or will Chris Strike prove why few are above him in this industry?



- At the first Autumn Effect, Zero McHannon shook off his demons and became the fourth ever EXODUS Pro World Champion. At both first and second Autumn Effect, Fiona Riley slayed personal demons in the form of Jerry Matthews and Sally Talfourd. Now in a battle to simply see who the better party is, The Ace of EXODUS once again steps up to face another huge challenger! Zero has boldly claimed this is his event, and Fiona has always found it in herself to rise to the occasion at EXODUS' annual big event. Who will come out on top in this huge affair?



- She issued the challenge at Convergence, and it's been accepted! The red hot Savannah Taylor is looking to etch her name into history when she meets former EXODUS Pro World Champion Heather Lasiewicz! The two of them met in action at Convergence, but with no other partners and no other opponents, the two of them have an opportunity to steal the show in Heather's first sanctioned AE match since her World Title match that headlined the first one! For Savannah, it's about pride. She's coming to AE seeking her first win on EXODUS' annual magnum opus, and after a year that saw her briefly hold the International Title, Savannah has to have a climb to bigger and better things on her mind.



- She says he's caustic and like a cancer in her life. He refuses to quit her. These two have had so much venom for one another, their violence forced us to bring back one of the most violent matches in EXODUS Pro history in the Chairshot Survival match. Now these two bring another back another violent match...the second one in EXODUS history since last year...THE FUNERAL PROCESSION MATCH! A modified stretcher match with casket match qualities, one competitor must secure the other into a casket, then wheel them to the hearse waiting near the entrance way. Ruby is determined to get Kevin Hardaway out of her life, and perhaps she has no greater opportunity to do that than to bury him and give him a final death. However, both of these competitors have a wild card in this match neither of them were expecting...the presence of mara as the special guest referee!



- The two of them were once as close as brothers, now bitter enemies for the better part of 2015. The once kinship between the once Shozo Arino and Shinji Uchikawa looks dead and buried, with its final nail coming at The Autumn Effect! With death match rules in place that have yet to be announced, both competitors look to put an end to something here. Either the white light of hope that Shinji radiates as "The Sentinel" or SHOZO's evil, one of these two competitors won't leave the ring under their own power that night. Can Shinji overcome this proverbial monkey on his back and literal demon on his doorstep, or will SHOZO kill the last person who believes any good is left in him?



- Justin Brooks has never made it a point to shy from a challenge. Wrestling anyone and everyone that's willing to step up, Brooks didn't back down when DeMarcus Gresham returned from suspension to issue the challenge for this match! Justin Brooks looks to prove he's as fighting a champion in his second reign as he was in his first, stepping up to meet one of the people fans of dubbed an "enemy of the state" with Jonathan Collins. Now that the ink is starting to dry on the contract, the fans can get excited for this first time match, where The Gifted One may wind up meeting El Reinado's unstoppable Monster!



- We know Sue & Damon Alexander or the team of KON-BAT will be involved as they have a RW Tag Team Title match on the next (R)Evolution Wrestling Show, but with Darrin Stearns telling Michelle Collins that (R)Evolution Wrestling was willing to bring their exciting tag team division to The Autumn Effect, Darrin has yet to announce which teams will be competing in this exciting match up OFFICIALLY! Either Kon-Bat or the Queensguard will walk in as Tag Team Champions and either get a shot to retain, regain, or finally win, but the winner of the next Damage Inc./Naked Guns match up will be entered into the match. What can we expect to see from (R)Evolution's finest when the Tag Titles are defended for the first time on our biggest stage?



- Well, this is a little odd. Originally it was set that Elizabeth would get her shot at the pre-show, with the winner of her and Carey facing Issac the next night. But on (R)Evolution Wrestling #38, Shinji Oshima declared the two matches switched and our databases now list that change. So, okay then. This is quite the boon for Elizabeth, the self (and Jimmy Riley)-proclaimed Ace of (R)Evolution. With how deep the anger goes between Issac and Carey, whoever walks out of there is sure to be banged up and nowhere near 100%, while Elizabeth will be ready. But with how tough Issac and Carey have shown themselves to be, coming in hurt may not be the biggest roadblock it could be. Will Elizabeth's ambitions come to light, or will she find herself getting wrecked, or having to Come Correct?



- Well. Um. It certainly is a thing. After winning the right to get whatever match he wanted by virtue of not losing to Carey Caldwell, Jackie Fowler cashed in his opportunity to sneak his way onto the Autumn Effect 3 card against Prince Kamijo! Most people have no idea what he's doing here either, but he made the match, so best of luck to him against a wrestler that's never ever lost!



- It's a simple battle royal with a gift that most people could dream of. It's a guaranteed title shot at any EXODUS Pro title good for 365 days, with the stipulation the proclamation must be made the show prior to the shot at the latest! with "The Allmother" mara officially declaring her name the first one drawn, people were stunned when they found out that the next official entrant was SCW's own "Hellcat" Regan Street! The front office was surprised when it was announced that the third name was the mysterious Toraburu that had shown up on Twitter recently...what other names will turn up in this big battle royal?



- For the past few appearances of Mistress Vivi, she's been accosted by a mysterious hooded individual that's made a strict point to not only attack her, but kick her manager Simon Raines in the groin. Finally deciding she's had enough of it, Vivi took the initiative to challenge the faceless opponent to a match at AE3. With no idea who it is and what she can expect, she's now looking at an opportunity to either stall someone's EXODUS career before it starts, stifle a returning face, or prove she's better than someone on the current roster! Could this mysterious individual be seeking retribution for something she's done in the past, or what reason has this person assaulted Vivi over the past couple of months? Whatever the case, we may just get answers at The Autumn Effect.



- Each of them are looking for a revival in their own way. Abby to revive an EXODUS career that looked ready for the bright lights of the main event after AE2 last year, only to wind up derailing following losing the title. Michael Lynch is looking to revive his EXODUS start after a hard luck loss to Cassius Reed in his debut. Now these two will collide in the opening match, where one of them will get the revival they're looking for!
