Brian Cage Wins XPW World Heavyweight Championship At XPW’s ‘Rebirth’ Event

Brian Cage and Willie Mack both made history at XPW‘s “Rebirth” event on November 7.

In a chaotic clash between the two powerhouses, Mack defeated Cage to win the XPW World Heavyweight Championship; in doing so, he became the first man to win the title since Shane Douglas held it at the end of the promotion’s initial run in 2003. This bout marked the conclusion of a one-night tournament to crown a new champion.

But shortly after Mack won the title, he was screwed by the owner of the company, Rob Black, who came to the ring to count the pin after three referees weren’t enough to get the job done. Black then got into a fight with the match’s initial official, and this distraction let Cage blast Mack with the title belt. Black immediately counted the pin, so Cage won the gold in a controversial manner.

With the “Rebirth” event, XPW (Xtreme Pro Wrestling) returned after an 18-year long hiatus. Stars like Rhino, Masada, TJP, Matt Cross, and Vincent competed at the show. The promotion is set to have another event, “XPW Killifornia”, on January 22, 2022.
