Exclusive Results of EDGE Wrestling's POPS Memorial Rumble!


It was a long time coming...and now it's over. This past Saturday night at the National Guard Armory in Nashville, North Carolina, EDGE Wrestling and CEO Link Alexander made history. Good history that is. The late Chad Williams, who gave EDGE Wrestling its name and known by fans as "POPS", would have been extremely proud of the happenings of this weekend's events. The fans showed up and packed the armory in Nashville...a venue in which Williams frequented often, along side of his son Kyndel. "He loved wrestling", Kyndel proclaimed proudly this Saturday. "He loved to watch me wrestle."


The front office and executive leadership at EDGE Wrestling were determined to make this event special, and they certainly didn't disappoint. Eight matches were on the line-up, including the POPS Memorial Rumble, a match in which the winner would receive a crack at the EDGE Heavyweight Championship in the Main Event!

Dwayne Allen ready for a fight!
Prior to getting the event started, EDGE CEO Link Alexander welcomed  yours truly as EDGE's new official Ring Announcer. I'm very honored to be a Ring Announcer. It's what I love to do, and I'm very thankful to Link for the opportunity to sign with EDGE. It's going to be a great ride.

Next up, we got things kicked off with a bang, as Pops' nephew Brandon Williams played the national anthem with his electric guitar. I've never heard anything like it. The absolutely perfect way to get everything started and he nailed it! From there, the action began. Here are the official match results from the POPS Memorial Rumble show...

Exclusive Results:
  • Jordan Flyght defeated Robyn Golphin to become the official #1 contender of the "Over the Edge" Championship. 
  • Rex Sterling turned back the challenge of Orlando Christopher.
  • The Reigning "Over the Edge" Champion, the "Bad Seed" Erik Ellis defeated J-Swagg. Ellis will now have to face Jordan Flyght somewhere down the line, in what could be a match of the year candidate.
  • The Hounds of Hades (Jackson and Austin Shadowz) captured the vacant EDGE Tag Team Titles, defeating The Royal Round Table, consisting of Raymond King and P.L. Prince.
  • Intermission
  • Kyndel Williams got some much needed help in the form of Sean Cruise, as the duo defeated Dwayne Allen and Firelord Draconis. After the match, Allen refused to shake Kyndel's hand, but fans could tell there was a lot of respect between the two.
  • "The Beau Show" Beau Crockett, accompanied to the ring by "Money" Mike Fortune, defeated former EDGE Heavyweight Champion Brandon Day, however, it took outside interference from Fortune's henchman Vinnie DaMoochie, to get the job done.
  • The POPS Memorial Rumble was next. A total of 25 EDGE Superstars entered the Rumble, including #1 entrant Kyndel Williams. As the emotion behind the Rumble itself, Williams fought as valiantly as anyone, to the point where he was among the final two remaining. But in the end, entrant #30: "The Unpredictable One" Damien Wayne was just too much for Kyndel to overcome. As a result, Wayne received an opportunity to compete in the evening's main event for the EDGE Heavyweight Championship.
  • In the Main Event, the EDGE Heavyweight Champion Scotty Mathews seemed to have a decided "edge" against the challenger. Damien had just competed for several minutes already in the Rumble. Mathews was fresh. But Wayne did an unthinkable act in order to even the playing field, by joining forces with "Money" Mike Fortune and turning his back on the fans. By the end of this one, it was basically 5 on 1, as Fortune's entire clan had made their way to ringside. The odds were stacked against Scotty, and Damien Wayne left Nashville as the new EDGE Heavyweight Champion.
What an evening it was! It had all the ingredients to make history. An opportunity to honor someone loved by the masses...a great locker room of competitors, both veteran and young stars...and an insanely exciting crowd of wrestling fans. That's what made this night special. It wasn't one person that made it happen. It was the collective efforts of everyone. From the DJ, to the wrestlers, to the fans...it was an incredible night of wrestling.

"The Unpredictable One" Damien Wayne wins EDGE Heavyweight Title!
