At SuperNova Wrestling’s<\/a> Art of Survival, the Apex Championship was defended in the main event of the night. Two-time champion Tony Clash would defend his championship against Kainen Bek. Before the match, I had the opportunity to chat with both men to get their views going into the championship match.<\/p>\n

Apex Championship\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The main event of the evening was for the Apex Championship. The champion, Tony Clash, was defending against challenger Kainen Bek.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kainen Bek comes weighing in at 425lbs. He utilizes his size and power to his advantage in the ring, making it difficult for his opponents to defeat him. Bek began in SNW about two to three years ago as a bodyguard and quickly transitioned to an in-ring performer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Art of Survival, he challenged Tony Clash to his Apex Championship, as he feels like it is his \u201cby right\u201d. When asked what winning the Apex Championship means to Bek, he had said that it means, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cthe spread of my influence, more people will see me and come to me with their desires. Perhaps we can make a deal.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite being opponents, there does seem to be a mutual respect between the two. Bek had said about Clash, \u201cHe has years of talent, I can\u2019t deny that. But all the talent in the world can\u2019t help you when you\u2019re too scared to face what\u2019s in front of you, and I am what\u2019s in front of him now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Clash acknowledged Bek as a great in-ring competitor and is aware that he is going to have to be quick on his feet in the match to try to get the advantage. Tony Clash has been the champion for the last three months, but his first Apex Championship reign was 13 months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clash said that being champion,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cmeans I’m doing my job, it means I’m entertaining, means I’m doing what I need to do to get the people going, means I’m marketable. So it’s a big show of respect for me to show like, \u2018wow, you know, we have faith in you, that you can hold this with pride. I want to put you on the posters, I trust you; you look apart, you act apart. You’re the guy.\u2019 That’s how I feel.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tony Clash retained his championship against Kainen Bek at Art of Survival. However, the match was won by disqualification, and Bek seems far from done with Clash.<\/span><\/p>\n

SuperNova Wrestling is simply looking to grow as a company and grow as a community. When speaking with the co-owner of SNW and creator of Off the Top Rope Network, Shizz \u201cBlackheart\u201d Lansky, he shared what he hopes SNW can accomplish moving forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTrying to build a home base here in Boston and build a home base in Maine and Canada. So we have a home for us and have a continuing place that we can come, have shows, bring the community back together again, and now we can make new things happen in the year 2025 and beyond.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Apex Champion, Tony Clash, also has high hopes for the future and growth of SNW. When asked who else he would like to see step up and challenge for his championship, Clash had responded, saying,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI love the guys here. Everybody’s respectful, everybody’s cool. But I would like it to be where we got it from somebody else, another promotion.\u2029I think it’d be cool if we grab one of their top guys and they came here.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anything can happen in SNW, and we look forward to seeing new talent and expanding as a community. The next SuperNova Wrestling event will be on Friday, October 24, in Lynn, Massachusetts, for Halloween Chaos. We hope to see you there!<\/span><\/p>\n
