This weekend they will take on the newly formed team, Last Of A Dying Breed, following a brief confrontation at the MCW Christmas party. Can the natural chemistry of the brothers overcome the veteran instincts of <strong>Mike Burr<\/strong> and the heart of his partner <strong>Ritchie Taylor<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<h3><b>MCW Women\u2019s Championship &#8211; No. 1 Contender&#8217;s Match<br \/>\nAvary vs Kellyanne<\/b><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60618\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60618\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60618\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/avary-vs-kellyanne.png\" alt=\"Vendetta\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/avary-vs-kellyanne.png 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/avary-vs-kellyanne-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60618\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo \/ MCW<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With <strong>Steph De Lander<\/strong> dominantly reigning over the MCW Women\u2019s division a new, worthy challenger is desperately needed. This weekend, two ladies who are incredibly familiar with each other will once again battle it out for an opportunity to take on the champion. <strong>Avary<\/strong> and <strong>Kellyanne<\/strong> have a storied rivalry, with numerous clashes throughout 2018 and 2019. This is going to be a very hard-fought match at <em>Vendetta<\/em>, which could easily go either way.<\/p>\n<h3><b>No Holds Barred<br \/>\nHartley Jackson vs Caveman Ugg<\/b><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60621\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60621\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60621\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/jackson-vs-ugg.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/jackson-vs-ugg.png 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/jackson-vs-ugg-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60621\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo \/ MCW<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Back at <em><strong>MCW Nine<\/strong><\/em> in October, these two men went to battle, with <strong>Hartley Jackson<\/strong> coming out on top. However, the war wasn\u2019t over there. After a confrontation between the two at <em><strong>WRESTLEROCK<\/strong><\/em> in December, hostilities have flared again. This weekend the two monsters will look to finally settle the score in a No Holds Barred encounter. Both men can take an inhuman amount of punishment, so expect this one to be a brutal affair.<\/p>\n<h3><b>MCW Intercommonwealth Championship<br \/>\n<\/b><b> Danny Psycho (c) vs Royce Chambers<\/b><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60622\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60622\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60622\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/psycho-vs-chambers.png\" alt=\"Vendetta\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/psycho-vs-chambers.png 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/psycho-vs-chambers-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60622\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo \/ MCW<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Since capturing the MCW Intercommonwealth Championship, <strong>Danny Psycho<\/strong> has never backed down from a challenge. This weekend the fighting champion will battle a rapidly rising newcomer to the MCW scene. In the latter half of 2019, <strong>Royce Chambers<\/strong> blew up in the Australian wrestling scene. Chambers\u2019 high-flying style has seen him capturing the minds and hearts of wrestling fans around the country. This weekend at <em>Vendetta<\/em> he is rewarded with the biggest opportunity of his career. Can the champion, who isn\u2019t afraid to fly around the ring himself, use his veteran knowledge to overcome the young upstart and stop his rise dead in its tracks?<\/p>\n<h3><b>Will Ospreay vs Dowie James<\/b><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60623\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60623\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60623\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/ospreay-vs-james.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/ospreay-vs-james.png 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/ospreay-vs-james-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60623\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo \/ MCW<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After months of jibes back and forth over social media, <strong>Will Ospreay<\/strong> will finally get his chance to shut the smug mouth of <strong>Dowie James<\/strong>.

However, Ospreay is a true professional and as such will certainly not be taking James lightly. Ever since James returned to MCW he has had a smug, arrogant attitude. An attitude which has rubbed not only the fans but also fellow wrestlers, the wrong way.
