When Myers&#8217; win became official, the entirety of Washington Hall exploded with cheers. As expected, tears could be seen and felt as well. The Canadian Myers has held several titles in his native country, and this is his first in the US. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/defyNW\/status\/1230549527083356160?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">promo<\/a> leading up to this clash, Myers mentioned how his sunset would be coming and before he waved goodbye to his beloved darlings, he wanted the DEFY World Championship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaveAlston7\/status\/1231121313483243520?s=20<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Randy Myers might be written off by some because he&#8217;s a weirdo, he&#8217;s lanky and thin, with a different sense of fashion and beauty, and is an openly gay man in a business that can still be difficult towards him. Throughout the twenty years of his career, he has persevered, even if every year didn&#8217;t grant him the wish of being his year. Through ups and downs, barrels of fun and great moments, struggles and all, Ravenous Randy Myers finally ascended to the top. He is now your new DEFY World Champion, ending Schaff&#8217;s reign at 182 days. Myers is the seventh champion in the promotion&#8217;s history.
