Raise The Stakes 2017 (Clash-AW Event)

Raise The Stakes 2017 was a special event created by Clash! Action Wrestling. It is the seventh special event of the 2017 Season, preceded by Overdrive in June and followed by No Turning Back in August. This is also the first special event to use the Clash! Action Wrestling name following their rebranding from Action Zone Wrestling. Two titles changed hands at the event - the Clash-AW Live! Championship and the Clash-AW Women's Championship.
After Overdrive finished, Quinn and Dwayne Paine started arguing backstage and were it not for Gabriel Santos that argument could've become a backstage brawl. Santos then made a match between them to decide the new #1 Contender to the World Championship, which Dwayne won on M7-W1 Wednesday. Dwayne would be consistently targeted by The Robinson Project, seeking to weaken him prior to his title match, starting with Graham fighting Dwayne on M7-W3 Wednesday, which ended with Dwayne winning but getting beaten down by Code A.O.X. and new Robinson Project recruit Bryce Lars, who also confronted Azrael that Saturday after his match with Michael, which he won by count-out. Azrael then called out Bryce the following Wednesday, leading to a 6-man tag main event which Dog Douglas, Dwayne Paine and Azrael won, with Azrael getting the pinfall.
The Robinson Project planned to have Bryce Lars at ringside for the main event but that plan was foiled by Quinn's attack prior to the main event. Regardless, the event ended with Michael retaining then proceeding to kayfabe-injure both Dwayne Paine and Dog Douglas, who was watching from ringside.
