Grand Prix 2017 (AZW/Clash-AW Event)

Grand Prix 2017 was a special event created by Clash! Action Wrestling, then known as Action Zone Wrestling. It is the third special event in the 2017 Season, preceded by Marathon in February and followed by Zero Restraint in April.
The event was built around a 16-man tournament with each match having one of the following five stipulations at random - Normal, De-Restricted Battle, Steel Cage, Ladder or Last Man Standing. The first round matches took place on AZW Live shows preceding the event, with the Quarter Finals and Semi-Finals taking place at a special Grand Prix Tournament show on Friday. The final took place at the event itself, with "The Bounty Hunter" Elijah Jones and Michael "The Ace" Robinson competing. Michael won the tournament and with that the Grand Prix Contract. As is normally the case with AZW monthly special events, all active titles were defended on this show.
