Travis Banks
Travis Banks invoked his rematch clause for the IPW Championship at Rival Turf and challenged Fury in a show-stealing bout. Banks came up short against the Investment representative, but the former champion’s efforts will keep him in the IPW Championship picture.

The Investment
IPW Director Daniel Burnell’s super group scored their biggest win yet at Rival Turf. The Investment trumped The Origin in the annual Capture the Flag Match after Pirate Burns jumped ship and betrayed Alfred Valentine to give Chaos, Cross, Dunn, Fury, Henry, and Schisk the victory.

“Rufguts” Roddy Gunn
Rufguts retained the NZWPW Championship against Ben Mana with the help of The Nobodies at Over the Top. In addition to his title defence, Rufguts took part in a wild brawl with Paul Sayers later in the month at NZWPW Beat Down, setting the tone for September, when he will face Sayers for the NZWPW Championship.

“Dream Catcher” Phil Woodgate
Dream Catcher was thrust into the spotlight in August after an unlikely win at NZWPW Over the Top. Ben Mana and JC Star were eliminated from the annual Over the Top Battle Royal at the same time to accidentally hand Woodgate the victory and a main event match at Power Play for the NZWPW Championship.

Ben Mana
Ben Mana came painfully close to winning his third Over the Top Battle Royal at the eponymous NZWPW event (and headlining Power Play one more time) before being thrown from the ring by The Nobodies, who had also conspired to cheat him out of the NZWPW Championship earlier in the evening.
