Mr. Sy told the lawyer that it was not a problem for him before getting Bombay’s thoughts on the matter. Bombay said he won’t mind either. With that out the way, Mr. Sy announced that it will be a three-way match for the PHX title tonight.

PWR Live: Road to Wrevolution X was a great lead up show for PWR’s biggest event of the year. Mr. Sy’s announcement after the big 6-man tag match was the perfect set-up for Wrevolution X’s main event: a three-way match between JDL, Bryan Leo and Ralph Imabayashi. We will also get two big matches for May 28th in the form of the PWR PHX Championship Gauntlet Match and Panzer vs Sebastian with their outcomes having a BIG IMPACT that will be felt across the PWR landscape. Speaking of big impact, Mahaba vs Idol will also have a huge effect on wheter or not The Network will have a new downline at the end of the match…or if the Intimate Warrior will share to Idol his own line of ‘facial products’ (the Jaccolade). I’d like to thank the people behind PWR for welcoming us yet again to cover PWR Live: Road to Wrevolution X. See you all on May 28th!!!
