Ray McAvay Reveals Evening of Champions PPV Card

In a press conference held earlier today at Missouri Valley Wrestling headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri, MVW Owner Ray McAvay announced the card for next month’s Evening of Champions show.

Evening of Champions is one of two MVW pay-per-view shows where Ray McAvay deviates from the rankings to book the challengers for the Men’s, Women’s, Men’s Tag Team, and Women’s Tag Team title matches.  The challengers are usually wrestlers or tag teams who are booked for title matches based on merit throughout the year.

And with that, here is the card for MVW’s Evening of Champions:

MEN’S TITLE MATCH:
‘Redneck’ Bill Dickinson © vs. John O’Reilly
–O’Reilly had a ten-month Men’s title reign that lasted until May when Adam Ellis defeated him in Normal, Illinois.

WOMEN’S TITLE MATCH:
Victoria McGill © vs. ‘The Shadow Warrior’ Shizuko Yamazaki
–Yamazaki held the Women’s title for the first six months of 2022 before losing the title to McGill at the end of June.

MEN’S TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH:
The Stevens Dynasty © vs. The Dark Overlords of Wrestling
-Triple R and ‘No Frills’ Chris Escondido had a five-month run as the Men’s Tag Team champions that lasted until May when Bo and George Stevens won the belts at the house show in Normal, Illinois.

WOMEN’S TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH:
Jill Berg Enterprises © vs. The Missouri Valley Fight Club
-The Missouri Valley Fight Club started the year as the champions until The Pinups put an end to their sixth title run in March.  The Pinups held the title for a month and a half until The Hanson Sisters won the belts in April.  The Hansons then had a three-and-a-half-month run with the titles until JBE defeated them in August at the Des Moines, Iowa house show.  All the while, the MVFC were consistently the #1 or #2 contender for the title throughout the year which is why McAvay gave the MVFC the nod.

MEN’S HEARTLAND TITLE:
Bracken Krueger © vs. #1 Contender
-Krueger is the current champion.  He will have one more title defense on November 29^th before Evening of Champions.  If he retains, Krueger will then take on the #1 contender who comes out of the December 2^nd through 4^th matches at Evening of Champions.

WOMEN’S HEARTLAND TITLE:
Daryn Thompson © vs. #1 Contender
-Same situation here.  Thompson is the current Women’s Heartland Champion and she will also have one last title defense on November 29^th.  If Thompson retains, she will meet the next #1 contender who comes out of the December 2^nd to 4^th matches.

McAvay added that two more matches will be added to the card in the next couple weeks.
