Smokey

**Smokey** (born August 24th 1984) is an American professional wrestler.

## A.W.A.C. Career (2018 - 2021)

Smokey debuted on November 25, 2017 on pre-show of Anarchy Rulz 2, winning an Interpromotional Battle Royal by last eliminating SCAW's Dante. Smokey's next appearance was in February of 2018 on Anarchy #36, challenging the then-CAW Interpromotional Champion El Noveno to a title match. He would get his match on the next episode to successfully become champion. From there, he would claim to take the belt all across CAW and challenge the best it had to offer. Smokey only made one defense on the pre-show to an episode WEDF RAW on March 6, 2018, where he successfully retained the title against Zach Starr. Smokey would then lose the title in a Triple Threat Match to then AIR World Champion Brute at the special AIR/AWE/A.W.A.C. Run The Fools event (the match also included then-AWE World Champion Aldo Anthony). After Brute lost the belt to William Wallace at the 2018 A.W.A.C. Draft Lottery Special, Smokey would answer Wallace's open challenge on the pre-show to A.W.A.C. Proceed With Caution in May of 2019. A few days later, Smokey and A.W.A.C. Management came to an agreement where the CAW Interpromotional Championship would be deactivated. In its place would be the CNW Global Legacy Championship. On the official CAW Network Facebook group, the CNW Committee awarded Smokey with the new belt and crowned him as the first-ever champion. Since then, Smokey has defended the title multiple times, starting on August 24, 2019 for A.W.A.C. at their Raven's Dark Ass Summer Vacation special event where he successfully retained against the debuting Biff Andreas.

Due to the supplemental draft, Smokey was drafted to Liberty. However, he made also no appearances for the brand whatsoever nor did he defend his title on Liberty. Most of his defenses would take place on his own web match series, but A.W.A.C. sanctioned three defenses of their own. The first one being on AOD at an A.W.A.C. House Show against Tommy Vercetti which Smokey won, the second being at the special SCAW/A.W.A.C. Challenge Of The Immortals crossover event against Thor which Smokey won again and injured Thor during the match, and the third scheduled for Anarchy Rulz 3 against Boom. On July 16, 2021, Night 2 of Anarchy Rulz 3, Smokey defeated Boom to retain his title.

On December 17, 2021, A.W.A.C. announced on its official Discord group that the title would be deactivated due to a lack of competition. A.W.A.C. also announced the one-and-only champion in the belt's history, Smokey, would be released. As a good-will gesture, A.W.A.C. allowed Smokey to keep the belt and even gave him the option of defending it in other promotions (these matches, regardless of the outcome, will not be tracked by A.W.A.C.).
