OCWFed Teases Special Musical Guest for RIOT 623!

[Drago Cesar]

Just 24 hours ago, OCWFed saw one of the wildest shows in recent memory with Turmoil 316 airing at 7:15pm ET, starting with Deborah Soto being turned on by the malicious House of Faith, going through multiple confusing - yet captivating - segments including QR codes, clips from music videos, mysterious mentions of dates, and more.

 

Coupled in with the mystery saw the usual amazing in-ring action you'd expect to see from an OCW show, including the return of Chris Greene to the ring, as the veteran took on JynX, himself embroiled in a deeply heated conflict with Telos. While Telos failed to pick up the win in his match on the night, JynX handled Greene in a very competitive battle.
 

A very good fight between a makeshift team of FloJo and OCW Pride Champion Sue Plex and their opponents in the Rumble Bellas took a sour turn after Sue attacked her own teammate in the waning moments of the fight, leading to their loss.

 

Maxx Edwards suffered defeat at the hands of El Parca's alleged mercenary, Wrex, a man who was called out earlier in the night by the Dark Net Society. Bash, the leader of DNS, has seemingly been on a mission to punch high and hard, as his battles with Rust Cohle and Paul Pugh clearly indicate. This could be the beginnings of big things heading into Wrestlution 18 in Atlanta in just 2 weeks.

 

That said, with all the chaos going on in the world of OCWFed, the management team has opted to lean into the chaos, finding the goodness of it within the violence. With all of the eyeballs on OCWFed heading into the biggest show of the year, OCW COO and Hall of Famer Drago Cesar has been positive during the leadup to Wrestlution. Drago, who took the position after defeating Nate Ortiz at Wrestlution 17, has been more than willing to field questions to myriad reporters during this time.

 

While most of what Drago said would be expected of a high ranking official during a pressing time, he did make a special announcement regarding RIOT 623. During a recent press event, Drago made mention that the world of pro wrestling continues to break barriers and will continue to do so during next weeks "go-home" show, live in Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 5th at 7:00pm ET on twitch.tv/ocwfed. 

 

The recent collaboration will see a special musical guest make waves on the final stop before Wrestlution. Drago would not give much more information on the nature of the guest, but did confirm that OCW will see a musical performance during the show. While keeping his cards close to his vest as he often does, Drago assured the crowd of reporters that it would only enhance the "Road to Lution" experience, saying how wonderful it is to see different universes of entertainment connected in such a meaningful way.

 

While we don't have much more than speculation at this point, it is certain that we will be seeing a guest appearance at RIOT 623, among many other moments in the lead in to Wrestlution. Among them will certainly be a star-studded main event between Rust Cohle and Mark Reese, a rematch from early 2023 where the two powerhouses battled for the OCW World Championship. 

 

Recently signed international star Megan Suzuki will also make her debut against Bobbi Baddi, in a move that has many excited given the impactful debuts of Joshi stars Kameyo Hada, Hifumi Mayoshi, and Junko Jiirota in the company's recent history. 

 

Sheldon Tremblay will grace the ring in a battle with recently cleared Cody Hagen, who himself can't be in the best mindset with everything going on around Heather Angelo and EMP.

Aside from the decided card, as we've seen with OCWFed, anything can happen. Given it's the final show before Wrestlution, explosiveness is bound to be a part of this show. The recent announcement from Drago aside, one thing is for sure... Between a jampacked episode of Ambition on July 3rd to serve as a precursor, this episode of RIOT is CANT MISS and will be one talked about for years to come. You can catch it all on twitch.tv/ocwfed at 7:00pm ET on Friday, July 5th.
