MAIN EVENT - INTERNATIONAL TITLE - DEVON FLASH vs. NATE ORTIZ*

Let's fucking go OCW we are back and I could not be more excited to start with a feud that has caught my intrigue. The snitch Devon Flash trying to step to the GTGOAT, the man who is has literally beaten father time in Nate Ortiz. Nate was not having any of Devon's tactics early on but Devon in his new snarky way has gotten under the skin of the champ I believe.

 

These are two very capable wrestlers in 2025. Devon is on the road to winning his first singles championship. Nate Ortiz being the task at hand will try to make the road as bumpy as he can for the young snitch. This match means a lot more for Devon Flash in terms of his ascent in OCW. So that he can attain his goals and be the future world champion that some including myself see him as. 

 

Nate Ortiz has already brought quite a bit of prestige back to the title that was passed around like a blunt on a Friday night. We had four consecutive champs that were unable to muster a single defense. Bolek lost his first defense and retained by DQ. I say all of this to highlight how Nate has brought stability to the belt. 

 

When it comes down to the fight at the end of the night... I feel Devon will start quickly and try to work the champ with his power base. Nate is likely to hit his second gear and catch on like a house on fire. The longer this match goes the more I like Nate Ortiz to retain the title and start Season 20 right. I really feel it depends on how much of a hole Nate digs himself at the beginning. 

 

Prediction - NATE REMAINS THE GREAT AND IS STIL YOUR LEGENDS CHAMPION

 

FI QUALIFIER - JOHN CARTER vs. BASH vs. ????????????

 

 

FI QUALIFIER - ASHLEY MOORE vs. LOTUS FLOJO

Flojo is coming off a good end to the season in tagging with Belle before we saw her depart. Ashley once again towered over Belle at the end of the season at End Games. I personally haven't seen much from either this season, that doesn't mean they aren't putting time in on their craft however. 

 

Flojo is the fast starter when it comes to kicking the year off with a bang. Her momentum usually slows down over time as the summer turns into the fall etc. So I want to see a vintage early season Flojo performance from her. 

 

Ashely is such a tough out that she rarely loses in a singles competition. As a matter of fact I can't remember the last time Ashley lost a singles match. Including the last match she had with Flojo, and every other one before that.

 

This is my MOTN prediction. I think these two work well together. They have a fantastic match. But in the end it will be....

Prediction -  ASHLEY REMAINS UNDEFEATED AGAINST FLOJO IN SINGLES MATCHES FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER* (JUST TO COVER MYSELF)

 

THIS MATCH AIN'T HAPPENING - JUNKO JIIROTA vs CHRISTINE

As mentioned in the title I don't see this match happening due to constraints. It's a damn shame because it is one I would love to see. I am a fan of both of these characters. 

 

Took a bit longer for Christine to catch on but both of these women have benefited greatly from being the Draganaverse. 

Prediction -  BOLD PREDICTION ANOTHER MATCH REPLACES THIS ONE

 

 

MENS FI QUALIFIER

 

 

ROOKIE DEBUT - RICKY COLON vs. GONZALO MUNOZ

Ricky is a good dude and I am hoping to learn more about this character. We already know about handsome Gonzalo and his devastating arsenal of innovative maneuvers. As a rookie Gonzalo raised my performance level in my second match. I am expecting he will do much of the same for Ricky here. 

 

This match is going to be better than most people expect. I don't think the rookie stands much of a chance in the end. However I will say crazier things have happened in OCW. This should be a wonderful tune up for Gonzalo who finds himself in the next set of FI qualifiers. Will cover that in depth next week. 

 

Prediction -  THE MOST HANDSOME MAN IN OCW STRIKES AGAIN. GONZALO MUNOZ TEARS OUT RICKY COLON'S HEART.
