Well folks this is it, the show that will decide just who will be competing in the main event of Anniversary II alongside TNT and The Shark to crown the very first AWA Australian Champion. Now for the results….
The Show kicked off with the first round of bracket two and in the first match current AAW Champion NC Viper went up against the dominate force of Jarrad Slate.
The two men warmed up the crowd, then shook hands and got the match underway. Slate took advantage outwrestling the power house. The match was very even but Slate gain the victory when he countered Viper's Sidewinder into a crucifix pin.
Following that match AWA Australia fans were treated to the debuting Ryan Eagles from Sydney. Mark Valour entered first to a chorus of jeers then it was Ryan Eagles who come out to a big pop and was over with the crowd as soon as he walked through the curtain.
Eagles took Valour to school taking him down to the matt countless times then started to work him arm. Once Valour got back to his feet Eagles was still dominate and Valour as introduced to some nice chops in the corner which and the entire audience popping with each slap. Valour then cheated his way back into the match and worked down Eagles with some big moves. In the end it was Ryan Eagles gaining the victory after making Valour tap out to a modified figure four leg lock. Ryan Eagles will now meet Jarrad Slate in the Semi-Final
Now its time for the final match of bracket two. Current AAW Independent Champion Jake Paragon has been on a roll lately. However Paragon has so many distractions right now. He has David Adams breathing down his neck for his championship, a shot at being AWA Australian Champion and do get that shot must go through Rave which means this is not going to be easy.
For Rave, its all or nothing. He has told us that he has never been more focused on anything in this life and he will stop at nothing to take that championship. Bracket Two is probably one of the toughest brackets so far and Rave is going to have to over come adversity if he is even to get a shot.
The two men make there way to the ring and Rave quickly finds out that he is going to have to use his knowledge and speed to take down the monster that is Jake Paragon. The match was a pretty even contest and saw some amazing displays of passion from both contestants. There was a part of the match where Rave leaped over the top rope and was caught by Paragon then scoop slammed from the ring to the floor! Both men put there bodies on the line but in the end it was was Rave who overcome the odds and score a pinfall on Jake Paragon and will now meet either Ryan Eagles or Jarrad Slate in the final later in the night!
Now that round one of bracket two was out the way we go back to action with David Adams taking on Dustin Dice. This bout was highly entertaining and fast paced with both mens styles being very similar. David Adams the currently number one contender for the Independent Championship however made a simple mistake in the match and the veteran Dustin Dice took advantage of the situation and score a pin fall victory over the contender. This can not be good for the confidence of young David Adams as he prepares for his upcoming championship match.
Its semi final time! Jarrad Slate vs Ryan Eagles. The winner will face Rave in the main event and the winner of that match go on to face The Shark & TNT at Anniversary 2 for the AWA Australian Championship. This was a highly entertaining match which saw a different side of Ryan Eagles. Eagles become more aggressive and started to ignore the fans. Slate kept is cool during the match which allowed him to pick up on Eagles mistakes and at times embarrass him much to the crowds delight. Slate was once again dominate in this match however it was the more experienced Ryan Eagles who once again made another victim tap out to his devastating submission move. Your winner and the man the will go the the final of bracket two..Ryan Eagles!

Kid Kapri made his way to the ring and took the mic. The talked about the fact the feels he no longer needs to find a tag team partner as he is good enough by himself. He then announced that he is good enough to be a tag team himself! Kapri then challenged two people to wrestle him in a handicap tag team. The challenge was answered by B-Money and Percy T Longwinkler. B-Money and Percy worked well as a unit and and had fun working on Kapri together.
