SCW Boomtown BashRed Dragon defends the SCW Championship against Althalus this Saturday, July 31, at SCW Boomtown Bash.

Dragon has proved to be a dominant champion since first winning the title at SCW Southern Showdown against Night Stalker, defeating Kidd Mystique and “Lethal” Lazza Stevens at subsequent shows. Will Red Dragon be hurtling out of the sky with a top-rope legdrop to retain his title once more, or will the popular Althalus leave Boomtown Bash with an upset victory and the SCW Championship?
