AAW Pro has done it once again with a quality card scheduled for February 21st where their annual Art of War<\/em> event is set to blow the roof off of Logan Square Auditorium. On top of Mance Warner<\/strong>\u2019s World Championship Celebration that will occur during the show, we also have some big returns, exciting debuts, and plenty of talented wrestlers looking to make a good impression in Chicago\u2019s #1 indie promotion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

InFAMy (Deonn Rusman & Joeasa Williamson) vs Travis Titan & Benjamin Carter<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Art<\/p>\n

First up is a match consisting of graduates of the Black & Brave Academy, located in Davenport, Iowa. owned and operated by former AAW stars Marek Brave and Tyler Black AKA Seth Rollins. Infamy, which consists of Deonn Rusman and Joeasa Williamson, is a more established duo than their adversaries, but Travis Titan has an edge in that he is the only competitor in this match to have appeared on an official AAW show. Regardless of the result, this match is sure to get some new eyes on faces that could be the talk of the wrestling world in the coming years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hyan & Savannah Stone vs Christi Jaynes & Kenzie Paige<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next up is a showcase of four members of the evergrowing women’s division in AAW. With former champion and longtime stalwart of AAW Jessicka Havok absent from this month’s card, in her place are the likes of Hyan and Savannah Stone who have both made an impact on the company over the past few years and look to defeat the team of Christi Jaynes and Kenzie Paige. While Jaynes (who just made her AEW debut<\/a> this past week) and Paige haven’t participated in as many AAW shows as their adversaries, this could be their opportunity to raise their name value in one of North America’s biggest independent companies.<\/p>\n

Zicky Dice vs PACO<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next up is a battle between resounding fan favorite and former AAW Heritage Champion Paco and AAW newcomer Zicky Dice.\u00a0 After losing the Heritage belt to Hakim Zane, Paco is looking to find his way back into the title picture with a win at the February show. Alternatively, Zicky Dice, who is best known for his work in NWA, will look to make a big impact in his first AAW appearance by making an example out of Chicago\u2019s favorite underdog.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stephen Wolf vs Nate Webb vs Clayton Gainz vs Karam vs Jake Lander vs Ace Perry<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Art<\/p>\n

Much like cards in the past, AAW is once again providing a 6-Man Scramble that is sure to provide some great action from some members of the roster who are a bit lower on the card. All of these men have competed in AAW in the past to varying amounts of success, but they all are looking to get a win to begin their ascent to the top of the card. A big standout for this match is Karam, who has been on a roll since aligning himself alongside Hakim Zane last year and will likely carry that momentum into The Art of War.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nick Gage vs Mathew Justice<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A match between two <\/span>GCW<\/b> regulars who have yet to get a win in AAW, Nick F\u2019N Gage takes on Matthew Justice in a match that is sure to turn the Logan Square Auditorium into a warzone. Both men are hard hitters, and although this is a different company, you have to expect Nick Gage is in no mood to play nice after recently losing the GCW World Title. Can Justice survive a match with The King, or will Nick Gage continue his losing streak in AAW?<\/span><\/p>\n

#1 Contender\u2019s Match for the AAW Title –\u00a0<\/b>Josh Briggs vs Fred Yehi vs Hakim Zane vs Jordan Oliver<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Art<\/p>\n

On the same night that Mance Warner is set to have his championship celebration, a new contender for his World Title will be determined in a match between four of AAW\u2019s rising stars. Jordan Oliver, Josh Briggs, Fred Yehi, and current AAW Heritage Champion Hakim Zane will do battle for a shot at the Big Belt at some point in the future. None of these men have gotten a shot at the belt in the past, making this the biggest match in each of their AAW careers to date. As for whoever wins, will they have something to say at the champ\u2019s celebration later in the night?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Fred Yehi is looking to win at any cost now that he has partnered with Jimmy Jacobs.<\/p>\n

Don't miss The Art of War this Friday at the Logan Square Auditorium in Chicago.<\/p>\n
