Both Tank and Stix qualified to be part of the title bout with a tag team victory over Reece Breeg and “Rufguts” Roddy Gunn earlier in the evening and entered the six-man battle royal alongside Bull Addams, Hustla, James Shaw and Australia’s Cass Stone.
Tank eliminated Stix, the last remaining competitor, from the match to win the PWE Northland Championship but issued an open challenge of sorts to the locker-room by proclaiming he would defend the title whenever there was a referee present.
Australia’s Mark Kage, who beat Cass Stone earlier in the night but was not part of the six-man battle royal, confronted Tank and appeared to be angling for a title shot but was beaten to the punch by Stix, who rolled back into the ring and jumped the champ before a quick cover led to a title change in the impromptu bout.
“It was too good an opportunity,” Stix wrote on his Facebook page. “Sorry, Tank, but you said any time, anywhere.”
The Rumbling Rocker returns to Reporoa as the new PWE Northland Champion.
