XWA Undisputed Championship
Alex Sean vs. Lion Merteuil
In a match that was originally scheduled for XWA Christmas Kaos, Lion Merteuil sets out to claim a title that he believes to be rightfully his by defeating the legend Alex Sean. Much has been said of their first encounter in 2005 where Alex Sean tested Merteuil's spirit by unloading a barrage of unspeakable punishment only to be upset by the young superstar. Since then these two men have led different paths; Lion Merteuil finding career-defining success in PRW and Alex Sean struggling to find his place at a time in his career where some believe his best days had passed him by. While Merteuil was enforcing a record-breaking reign as the PRW Undisputed Champion, Alex Sean was battling his own uncertainty as well as being partnered with one of his most bitter enemies; DGX. While Lion Merteuil was cementing his status as one of the premier talents in the business and a true legend of the PRW ranks, Alex Sean fell into a heroin addiction that nearly cost him his life. It seemed impossible that these two men would ever meet again, but as it was clear on the day they fought; These two men were destined to meet again. After overcoming his addiction and rekindling the flames of passion to compete, Alex Sean underwent the difficult task of reopening the XWA alongside former WFWF President King Kraig. Seeking to continue the lineage of the past, Alex Sean negotiated PRW into splitting the XWA Undisputed Title from it's PRW Undisputed Title; A belt that Lion Merteuil then held. Then, at a press conference where Alex Sean announced the separation of the titles, Lion Merteuil crashed the festivities in outrage of losing what he felt was a title he had rightful ownership to. Following XWA Genesis where Alex Sean stepped down as XWA CEO and thus granting King Kraig full ownership of the company, the stage was set for these two men to lock horns once again. Now, after having lost his PRW Undisputed Title at PRW Christmas Carnage, Lion Merteuil has something to prove and nothing to lose. By defeating Alex Sean, he will not only claim the XWA Undisputed Championship, but cement his status as the best in the business and forever end any debate over whether or not his win over Alex Sean in 2005 was some sort of anomoly or fluke. For Alex Sean, this is his first chance to prove once again that he is one of the top competitors in the business and defeat a man who has bested him in the past, but defeat a man who is considered by many to be the very best in the business. At XWA The Final Countdown, for the XWA Undisputed Championship, at the end of the day it will all come down to the age old question; Who wants it the most?
