This is the OVW Report for Wednesday, April 25, 2018. This episode can be seen on WBNA-21 in the Louisville area on Saturday at 11AM and 9PM, and online at www.ovwrestling.com/ovw-media.html. In this episode, Michael Hayes teams with Shiloh Jonze to face the team of Randall Floyd & Sam Thompson, LJ defends the TV Title, Cardinal & DL3 are interviewed, plus more!

Without further ado:...

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches:
 

Dapper Dan & Rump Thump defeat Apollo & "Livewire" KTD. Rump & Dan take it to KTD early with hip tosses, elbow drops, and a splash in the corner. Apollo gets Dan's attention on the apron. As the ref gets Dan in his corner, Apollo gets in and hits Rump across the back. Apollo & KTD take control and work over Rump. KTD goes for a top rope splash, but misses. Rump tags Dan, who slams KTD. Apollo runs into clotheslines, and Dan finishes KTD off with the Death Valley Driver for the 3.

 

"The Chosen One" Mitch Huff comes out and is interviewed byBrittany. He says he is ready for Run for the Ropes. He's been here off and on since 2007. He's won tag titles, TV titles, match of the year, but never the Heavyweight Title. He says Friday, that changes. Michael Hayes attacks him from behind and pounds him. Huff comes back and goes for the Athlete's Foot, but Hayes ducks out of the way and rolls out of the ring.
 

OVW Women's Champion Jaylee defeats Cali. Cali is hit from behind, but she fights back. She slams Jaylee and dropkicks her on the mat. Jaylee pulls her head down across the top rope and gets back in. She stands on her hair and pulls up. Cali starts to fire back, but Jaylee knees her. She takes her down by her hair. Cali fires up again and throws her into the corner. She hits an x-factor for 2. She misses a charge in the corner and Jaylee rolls her up with her feet on the ropes for the 3.

That concludes tonight's pre-show dark matches. I always recommend watching the episode first on TV or online before reading the rest of the report. Again, you can check it out on WBNA-21 in the Louisville area Saturdays at 11AM and 9PM (check local listings) and on OVW's official website Mondays at www.ovwrestling.com/ovw-media.html.

Gilbert Corsey is in the ring. He brings out the Southern Tag Team Champions Cardinal & DL3. Cardinal says they are tag champions, but he doesn't like DL3 and says he doesn't respect how he does things like cheating. He is ready to take on any comers at any time in defense of their belts. The Bro Godz come out and say this has been a flop. They should be tag team champions. Cardinal says they will defend against them. The Top Guys come out and say they deserve a shot as well. Cardinal says they can do it right now. DL3 says he has a different plot, the Bro Godz face the Top Guys right now, and the winners face them at the next SNS...
