Iron Grip Pro Wrestling: Show 43 — “Chaos Reigns”
Opening Match: Gallus vs Bronson Reed & Kyle Fletcher vs Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus vs War Raiders vs DIY vs Motor City Machine Guns
The arena roars to life as six teams prepare for mayhem. The tag division has been on fire for weeks, and this match promises to set the tone for the entire show. Gallus (Mark and Joe Coffey) bring that Glasgow grit, while Bronson Reed and Kyle Fletcher represent a powerhouse duo stitched together through mutual respect. Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus rekindle their Jurassic pairing, DIY (Gargano and Ciampa) aim to reclaim old glory, War Raiders bring chaos, and MCMG look to prove experience trumps youth.
From the opening bell, it’s bedlam. Gargano and Jungle Boy trade fast counters, while Reed flattens both War Raiders with a double running splash. Fletcher soars over the ropes with a Fosbury Flop, only to be caught mid-air by Hanson! The crowd chants “This is awesome!” within minutes.
As chaos unfolds, DIY hit Meeting in the Middle on Mark Coffey — but before the ref can count three, the Bullet Club storm the ring! Adam Cole, the Bucks, Strong, and O’Reilly attack Reed and Fletcher viciously, laying them out with chair shots. Cole sneers, “This is OUR house now!” before smashing a chair over Ciampa’s back.
The ref throws the match out — No Contest. The fans boo, but Bullet Club’s message is clear: dominance. Reed and Fletcher are left wrecked, the Bucks laughing as they saunter up the ramp.
Winners: No Contest (Bullet Club Interference)
Segment: The Young Bucks & Ricochet Championship Celebration
The ring is decked out in gold balloons, confetti, and a massive “BULLET CLUB GOLD” banner. The Bucks brag about being “the greatest tag team alive” and introduce Ricochet, the new X-Division Champion, calling him “the human highlight reel of the Club.” Ricochet thanks the fans half-heartedly — “You cheer now, but you doubted me for years.”
Before the celebration can get too smug, WAAAARDLOOOOW! echoes through the arena. The crowd explodes as Wardlow storms down the ramp, eyes locked on the trio. The Bucks throw champagne glasses, Ricochet swings his belt — and Wardlow powerbombs Ricochet straight through the table!
Matt tries to superkick him — caught! Powerbomb. Nick charges — another powerbomb. The crowd counts: “ONE! TWO! THREE!” Wardlow grabs the mic: “Party’s over, boys. I’m not done until I break every one of you!” He drops the mic, standing tall over Bullet Club carnage as the crowd chants “WAR-DLOW!”
Jack Morris vs Mustafa Ali vs “Speedball” Mike Bailey vs Cedric Alexander
Fast-paced four-way action follows. Jack Morris, the Scottish sensation, faces three of the fastest men on the roster. The early moments are a blur — Bailey’s kicks echo, Cedric’s handspring elbows hit flush, and Ali takes to the skies with a gorgeous 450 splash. Morris picks his moments, showing surprising strength with a double suplex on Ali and Cedric.
The match builds to a car crash sequence: Speedball moonsaults off the post, Cedric hits a springboard DDT, and Ali connects with a tornado DDT onto the apron. As Bailey prepares for Ultima Weapon, Morris slides in and powerbombs him mid-air! One… two… three!
Jack Morris scores the upset, standing tall while the crowd gives him respectful applause. Ali offers a handshake — Morris accepts, but smirks to the camera. The Scotsman just made a statement.
Winner: Jack Morris
#1 Contender’s Elimination Match: Will Ospreay vs KENTA vs LA Knight vs Swerve Strickland vs Drew McIntyre vs Malakai Black
The ring fills with star power. The prize? A world title shot at the next pay-per-view. From the start, the action is pure chaos. Ospreay and Swerve put on an aerial clinic, McIntyre and Knight bring the power, and Malakai trades stiff kicks with KENTA.
First elimination: LA Knight, caught by a spinning back kick and Black Mass from Malakai. “YEAH!” quickly turns to “NOOO!”
Next, Ospreay takes flight with an Oscutter on KENTA — pinning his old rival to eliminate him. The crowd chants “Holy Ospreay!”
McIntyre clears the ring with Claymores left and right, but Swerve counters a second attempt into a House Call! Drew rolls out, dazed. Swerve tries to capitalize — but Malakai spins, another Black Mass, and Swerve’s out cold.
It’s down to Ospreay, McIntyre, and Malakai. Ospreay springboards into a Spanish Fly on Drew, Malakai stalks, looking for one more kick… but Drew Claymores him out of his boots! One… two… three. Malakai’s gone.
The final two: Ospreay vs McIntyre. They trade chops, headbutts, and insane reversals. Ospreay hits a Storm Breaker — but Drew kicks out! The Scot roars, hits one last Future Shock DDT, and Claymore for the win!
Winner and new #1 Contender: Drew McIntyre

**Main Event: CM Punk (c) vs Brody King – No Holds Barred for the World Title **
The crowd buzzes as the lights dim. Brody King stalks to the ring, chains hanging, eyes burning. CM Punk walks out with the belt draped over his shoulder, smirking — the defiant champion ready to fight dirty if needed.
From the opening bell, it’s a war. Punk ducks a clothesline, throwing a kendo stick shot to King’s ribs. Brody shrugs it off and chokeslams Punk through a table within minutes! The fans chant “You still got it!” as Punk crawls to the outside, blood trickling down his forehead.
King dominates, whipping Punk into the barricade, crushing him with a cannonball. Punk counters with a low blow and grabs a chair, blasting King’s back repeatedly. “You want my spot, huh?!” Punk yells, before going for a piledriver — reversed into a Gonzo Bomb through another table!
Both men lie motionless. The ref checks them. The crowd’s split: “Let’s go Punk!” “Bro-dy King!”
King drags himself up, wraps a chain around his arm, and swings for Punk’s head — Punk ducks and hits a Pepsi Twist! He locks in the Anaconda Vise using the chain for leverage, wrenching back as King roars in pain. Blood pours down both men’s faces.
King breaks free, hits a lariat that nearly decapitates Punk. He lifts him for a second Gonzo Bomb — but Punk grabs the chain, pulls King’s head down into a GTS! One… two… three!
Punk collapses, clutching the title. He’s battered, broken, but victorious. As he celebrates, the lights flicker — Drew McIntyre appears on the screen, whispering: “Enjoy it while it lasts.”
The show ends with Punk staring daggers at the screen, title raised, as the crowd buzzes with anticipation for what’s next.
