### AFN and Feud with Brandon Wolfe(2016-2018)

Ben Hopkins made his AWF debut alongside Austin Juhasz, a part of Arisen From Nothing, and they debuted at AWF Pain For Pride 2016 as the mystery tag team partners for Kevin Kash. Over the next several months, AFN competed in the tag team division facing the likes of the Blood Brothers, Rich N Famous, and Big Dwayne & Dynamite, however they were never able to capture the AWF Tag Team Championships. On AWF Superstar Mayhem Ep.39, AFN lost a number one contenders match to the Blood Brothers, which meant they had to disband as a team. As Austin Juhasz would eventually be released from the company, this led to Ben Hopkins receiving a singles run. Hopkins would go on to be a part of the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber at Meltdown 2017, and was unsuccessful. On AWF Superstar Mayhem Ep.41, Ben Hopkins would team up with Brandon Wolfe to take on Eddie Sleaze and Alberto Jr, and after the match Hopkins turned heel by attacking Brandon Wolfe. This turn led to a new look and attitude for Hopkins, ditching the face paint and AFN attire. Ben Hopkins and Brandon Wolfe kicked off their friends turned enemies rivalry, that put both on the map and stands as one AWF's greatest rivalries. Hopkins was unsuccessful in his Junior Heavyweight Championship match against Wolfe at Glory Days 4. However, he would go on to defeat Wolfe for the title in the main event of Superstar Mayhem Ep.45. This was the first time a Junior Heavyweight Championship Match closed a Superstar Mayhem show. Ben Hopkins would defeat Brandon Wolfe once more at AWF Carnage 2018, to put a close to their rivalry in AWF.

### Junior Heavyweight Champion (2018-present)

After the feud with Wolfe ended, Hopkins would go on to face new challengers in the Junior Heavyweight division, like Aether Atomsk and Matt Black. Ben Hopkins would successfully retain his Junior Heavyweight Championship in a triple threat match at Cyberslam 2018, defeating Aether and Matt. As part of the brand vs brand matches at AWF Survivor Series 2019, Ben Hopkins faced Uprising's United States Champion John Blackos, and defeated him. Despite Hopkins using heel characteristics with his promos against the fans, false claims of wrestlers cheating, obnoxious poses, and more, the fans began to cheer for Hopkins. After Hopkins won the CAW All Stars Championship at CAW All Stars 11, Ben Hopkins was positioned as a babyface wrestlers in the AWF. This turn would happen during the Best of the Super Juniors Tournament. The Best of the Super Juniors featured 12 wrestlers, including Junior Champion Ben Hopkins, facing off in a round robin tournament. While the other competitors fought for a Junior Title shot at the Royal Rumble, Ben Hopkins fought for a World Heavyweight Championship match at the Royal Rumble. The tournament would eventually be won Matt Black. Matt Black, now a heel, would go on to defeat Ben Hopkins at the Royal Rumble to win the Junior Heavyweight Championship.
