Tag Team Gold: Pequeño Loco’s Stunning Return
The Wruffians of Khaos walked into Jackpot Rumble as the reigning FUSION Tag Team Champions, but their open challenge was met with an unexpected duo—Hardcore Kid and the shocking return of Pequeño Loco, a former champion who had been absent for four years.
Despite his time away, Loco didn’t miss a beat. His high-flying offense, combined with Hardcore Kid’s relentless brawling, proved to be the perfect formula to defeat Matt Merciless and Konnah Khaos. In a thrilling match, Loco and Hardcore Kid captured the FUSION Tag Team Championships, marking a triumphant return for the unpredictable luchador.
T.R.A.S.H. Championship Controversy: Tommy Gunn Arrives
Danny Trow made his way to the ring to address the T.R.A.S.H. Championship, revealing that he had been defending the title under 24/7 rules, but due to an injury, he could no longer continue. Before he could officially vacate the belt, however, he was brutally ambushed by Tommy Gunn—a longtime British wrestling veteran making his FUSION debut.
Gunn wasted no time establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with, laying out Trow and leaving him in a heap. Before the dust settled, Tommy King stepped up to challenge Gunn, eager to make a name for himself. The young competitor gave it everything he had, but Gunn’s experience and vicious offense were too much to overcome.
With the T.R.A.S.H. division now in chaos and Gunn making a powerful first impression, the question remains—who, if anyone, can stop him?
Welsh Championship Chaos: Ben Evans Forces His Way In
The CCW Welsh Championship match between Ry Lloyd and Joey Marcus was thrown into turmoil when a bitter Ben Evans stormed the ring. Still furious over his controversial loss in August—where he was pinned despite having his foot under the ropes—Evans demanded to be part of the match.
With no other choice, the match was turned into a Fusion Three-Way. However, despite both Lloyd and Evans’ efforts, the champion Joey Marcus once again prevailed, successfully defending his title.
For Evans, this was another crushing defeat in his quest for the Welsh Championship. Will this loss finally put an end to his pursuit, or has it only fueled his obsession further?
The Fall of Kreaper: Betrayed, Fired, and Beaten Again
One of the most shocking developments of the night was the dramatic downfall of Kreaper. For years, Kreaper was an unstoppable force, going undefeated since his FUSION debut in 2018—until he lost the Grand Championship to Krimson Khaos in August.
The match ended in chaos, with Director of Wrestling Dick Chambers physically attacking Kreaper. But the giant retaliated, leaving Chambers unconscious in the ring.
At Jackpot Rumble, everything finally came to a head. Chambers fired Kreaper on the spot, claiming his attack on an official was inexcusable. However, in a shocking twist, Chambers offered him one last chance to keep his job—a rematch against Krimson Khaos.
But it was all a set-up. Chambers had no intention of letting Kreaper win, enlisting The Wruffians of Khaos to ambush him mid-match. Despite his resilience, the numbers were too overwhelming, and Kreaper was defeated again.
But the story didn’t end there.
Unbeknownst to Chambers, Kreaper had entered the Jackpot Rumble. When the moment came, he finally stood face to face with his former employer—but before he could get revenge, Chambers ran for his life.
Even after everything, Kreaper fought his way to the final two, proving that he was still a dominant force. But victory slipped away once again, as Matt Merciless eliminated him to win the Rumble.
After the event, Kreaper made a bold statement about his firing:"I am certain that the FUSION higher-ups will overlook Dick Chambers' decision, and Kreaper will return to a FUSION ring soon."
If Kreaper is right, and FUSION management overrules Chambers, it could lead to an all-out war. But if he’s truly gone… will Kreaper take matters into his own hands?
