A.W.A.C. Wildside Championship

The **A.W.A.C. Wildside Championship** was a belt promoted by A.W.A.C. on the Anarchy brand. It was the tertiary title for Anarchy, alongside the A.W.A.C. ZERO1 Championship on Liberty. At the start of Season 3, the brands merged together.

The belt was active in Season 2 as part of the A.W.A.C. Anarchy brand until it was retired at the start of Season 3.

## History

The belt was announced on Anarchy #47 after Spot Monkey saved Beefy Magnum from an attack at the hands of Holly Rood after Holly defeated Beefy in a Singles Match. Anarchy General Manager Rabid announced his "newest creation": the A.W.A.C. Wildside Championship. According to Rabid's notes, the title represents the mindset of a wrestler, as if to say a wrestler must "unleash their wild side" in order to obtain victory. He also expresses that the name came from watching old videos of the now-defunct NWA Wildside promotion.

Holly Rood defeated Spot Monkey and Beefy Magnum in a Triple Threat Match to become the inaugural champion. Holly then went on to successfully defend it in the second fall of a Two-Fall Triple Threat Match against Zack Bateley and Ori Kahn (who won the Intercommonwealth Title from Holly in the first fall)

On April 1, 2020, on Anarchy #53, Biff Andreas ended Holly Rood's 321-day reign and became the new A.W.A.C. Wildside Champion. On Anarchy #56, Biff successfully retained the title against Zack Bateley. On Anarchy #57, Freddy Krueger defeated Biff Andreas to become the new champion. On January 19, 2021, on Anarchy #61, Milo Elasovic defeated Freddy Krueger to win the title, albeit with interference from "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt attacking Krueger. On July 16, 2021, on Night 2 of Anarchy Rulz 3, Christian Cage defeated Milo Elasovic to win the title. Since Milo lost, his group known as Diecast was forced to disband; had Cage lost, he would have left A.W.A.C. forever.

## Belt Design

The A.W.A.C. Wildside Championship was originally created in 2018. However, due to the A.W.A.C. logo change, it was scrapped and eventually went unused. The first design of the belt is identical to the one that was used on A.W.A.C. programming. The first design of the belt had the old A.W.A.C. logo at the top and lighter plates whereas the second design had the plates use a much darker shade of gold.

The belt(s) are on a black leather strap with a gold tip on the end. The front plate is rectangular in shape with sections raised at the top. The current A.W.A.C. logo is at the top of the front plate and at the bottom is a black banner reading "Champion". Beside the A.W.A.C. logo are lines on either side pointing in a diagonal direction. The front plate displays a red globe in the background while in the foreground is the word "Wildside" in white with a blood-stained pattern engraved in the lettering. The word also has red streaks of various sizes protruding outwards. Besides either side of the word, there are 2 other diagonal lines.

The side plates are all the same design. All 4 of them show an embossed wrestling ring with a stylized gold pattern underneath which has been filled in with red paint that matches the globe and streaks on the front plate.

## Retirement

On August 2, 2021, on the first CPV of Season 3, Undisputed Universe, Intercommonwealth Champion Zack Bateley defeated Wildside Champion Christian Cage. As a result, the belts were unified together and the Wildside Title was officially retired.
