– Jim Cornette announced that next week Matt Sydal will take on Eli Drake for the GFW Championship. Sydal won his opportunity for the title shot of his choosing when he defeated Lashley at Destination X earlier this month. GFW cameras caught up with Drake to ask him about his thoughts on next week’s match.
“Everybody’s coming, because guess what, man? I might hang in there for a four-year term,” Drake said. “This ain’t the White House, we ain’t changing out every week! This is staying around, this is lasting a long time. Why? Because it’s Eli Drake.”

– Tonight, Petey Williams wrestled his first match in GFW in over 8 years, defeating Caleb Konley. Williams spoke about how he felt after picking up the win, how Konley and Trevor Lee can’t fight their own battles and taking back his move, the Canadian Destroyer.
“I’ve been retired for three years and noticed that my move – for lack of a better word – has been ‘hookered’ across the wrestling community,” Williams said. “So I’m here – the original Canadian Destroyer – to take back what’s mine and I’m going to save wrestling as I do it.”
